Style change: return(x) --> return x

This was discussed and more or less agreed upon on the mailing list. A huge checkin, but if we just do it and let people adjust the pain will end soon enough. Rebasing should be relatively straighforward for anyone that sees conflicts; just be sure you use the new return style if possible. The following semantic patch was used to do the change, along with some hand-massaging in order to preserve parenthesis where appropriate: The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows, although some hand-massaging was done in order to keep parenthesis where appropriate: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a; @@ - return(a); + return a; // </smpl> A macros_file was also provided with the following content: Additional steps taken, mainly for ASSERT() macros: $ sed -i -e 's#return(NULL)#return NULL#' lib/libalpm/*.c $ sed -i -e 's#return(-1)#return -1#' lib/libalpm/*.c Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
