Contributions to make it easier to use smatch with generic projects

[chrissamuel]

Hi there,

I was very interested to read about smatch on LWN and as I work in HPC I was curious to trial it on Slurm, the batch scheduler that a lot of sites (including everywhere I've worked since 2010) use. It took a little bit to figure out how to make it work well with it so I thought I'd try and give back by putting in two fairly trivial changes to help others out.

• Make smatch easier to use with generic projects #18
• Skip a missing project specific fixup file #19

Thanks for smatch!

All the best,
Chris

Thanks for merging those two! I've just added a third so smatch emits full paths to source files as code bases might have files with the same name in different directories.

• Use --full-path for warnings/errors for generic projects #21

Thanks for taking that change, I've just done another to suppress some Perl errors for generic projects where the files they try to open don't exist.

• Prevent Perl errors building DBs for generic projects #22
