Here is a description of what I mean -- using a (hypothetical) example: int a = getSomeNumber(); // WA: We have to do something crazy because of a bug in some other // project: // [WABUG:<A HREF="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527510">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527510</A>] while (a < 10) { a = getSomeOtherNumber(); } Thus, the format of the so-called 'Workaround Bug' would be: [WABUG:<uri>] Checking for fixed/referenced WABUGs could be automated easily and everyone would be happy. Do we have anything like that? </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Not to my knowledge. I checked the GNU coding standards but could not find anything. <BR> <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Thank you, --- Matej _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A>: X.Org development Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
