From bb1c9ccf740eae3f116a2bb5d26c2bfb80cc8c7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Philip Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 00:38:35 +0530 Subject: scripts: coccicheck: warn on unset debug file coccicheck prints debug logs to stdout unless a debug file has been set. This makes it hard to read coccinelle's suggested changes, especially for someone new to coccicheck. From this commit, we warn about this behaviour from within the script on an unset debug file. Explicitly setting the debug file to /dev/null suppresses the warning while keeping the default.
