+my $DO_WHILE_0_ADVICE = q{
+ do {} while (0) advice is over-stated in a few situations:
+
+ The more obvious case is macros, like MODULE_PARM_DESC, invoked at
+ file-scope, where C disallows code (it must be in functions). See
+ $exceptions if you have one to add by name.
+
+ More troublesome is declarative macros used at top of new scope,
+ like DECLARE_PER_CPU. These might just compile with a do-while-0
+ wrapper, but would be incorrect. Most of these are handled by
+ detecting struct,union,etc declaration primitives in $exceptions.
+
+ Theres also macros called inside an if (block), which "return" an
+ expression. These cannot do-while, and need a ({}) wrapper.
+
+ Enjoy this qualification while we work to improve our heuristics.
