Hi,

Some folks complained of not having a script that checks for
formatting issues in the patches to GCC.  The attached script checks
for some common formatting problems that occur in the code of new
contributors to GCC.  With time this script could be improved, but
this is already useful to avoid common mistakes.

I would like to commit this script to the contrib directory. Ok for trunk?

OK with a ChangeLog entry. Thanks for doing this. I agree that we can keep adding to this as we go along. It does not need to be pretty nor perfect to be useful.

In time, we could even add more elaborate checks using something like dehydra.

Please wait for Richi to get mem-ref2 merged into trunk before committing.

Diego.
