41# E.g.:
42# Without this option, we have the following output:
43# #333: FILE: drivers/arm/gic/arm_gic.c:160:
44# So we have 2 lines indications (333 and 160), which is confusing.
45# We only care about the position in the source file.
46#
47# With this option, it becomes:
48# drivers/arm/gic/arm_gic.c:160:

56# COMPLEX_MACRO generates false positives.

67# "added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?"
68# We do not use this MAINTAINERS file process in TF.

71# AVOID_EXTERNS reports this kind of messages:
72# "externs should be avoided in .c files"
73# We don't follow this convention in TF.
