I just realized that the syntax check rule sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit will cause a false positive when it finds the relevant tokens within a string as well.
For example, in Wget, we have the following snippet in our tests which trips this rule: > WGET_TEST_EXPECTED_FILES, &(wget_test_file_t []) { > { "exit-status.txt", "exit(8)\n" }, > { NULL } }, I made a very tiny change to the rule in maint.mk(L408) to account for this: -exclude='exit \(77\)|error ?\(((0|77),|[^,]*)' \ +exclude='exit \(77\)|error ?\(((0|77),|[^,]*)|"(usage|exit|error).*"' \ -- Thanking You, Darshit Shah PGP Fingerprint: 7845 120B 07CB D8D6 ECE5 FF2B 2A17 43ED A91A 35B6
