From 0a1b71b4008d332e57b5605a8228ea7aa96687e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:49:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] strstrip(): mark as as must_check strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the incorrect original pointer. So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).
