Name        : sparse
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 0.5.0
Release     : 2.fc20
URL         : https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org
Summary     : A semantic parser of source files
Description :
Sparse is a semantic parser of source files: it's neither a compiler
(although it could be used as a front-end for one) nor is it a
preprocessor (although it contains as a part of it a preprocessing
phase).

It is meant to be a small - and simple - library.  Scanty and meager,
and partly because of that easy to use.  It has one mission in life:
create a semantic parse tree for some arbitrary user for further
analysis.  It's not a tokenizer, nor is it some generic context-free
parser.  In fact, context (semantics) is what it's all about - figuring
out not just what the grouping of tokens are, but what the _types_ are
that the grouping implies.

Sparse is primarily used in the development and debugging of the Linux kernel.

ChangeLog:

* Sun Jun 15 2014 Jeff Layton <jlayton at primarydata.com> - 0.5.0-2
- Remove -fpic and -fPIC from CFLAGS. Seems to be causing weird effects with
  -O2. (bz# 1109560)
* Wed Feb 26 2014 Jeff Layton <jlayton at redhat.com> - 0.5.0-1
- update to v0.5.0
