- new URLs for HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES
- smaller DESCR (avoids pkglint's complaints)
- remove patch-a{a,b,c} (paths seem to be fixed inside configure/make scripts).
Changelog:
* 0.2.3
** Language:
- <= constraints relating an expression metavariable to one or more
inherited expression metavariables that it should be a subexpression of
- the -inplace and -outplace options have been renamed -in_place and
-out_place. -in_place no longer makes a backup. A backup can be
requested using the option -backup_suffix, eg -backup_suffix .bk
- identifiers can be constrained to be different from an inherited
identifier metavariable, or from a set containing both concrete
identifiers and inherited identifier metavariables.
- support for ocaml scripting
- ast available in ocaml scripts
** Features:
- drop inconsistent paths check when only one node was matched
- allow #define id with no definition
- attempt to add newlines in the generated code when function calls in the
smpl cause passing column 80
- allow - in front of statement level nests, if everything inside the nest
is also -
- 'configure' looks for some system libraries: menhirLib, sexplib, pycaml.
Not available libraries are replaced by a copy provided with the sources.
- added static for a function goes just before what is specified in the
semantic patch, not before any comments etc.
- Add a new option, -ignore_unknown_options, to ease the integration
of Coccinelle as a checker in a toolchain.
- error in python code causes immediate abort of spatch
- use the same algorithm for collecting grep tokens as for collecting
glimpse tokens
- Add scripts/spatch.bash_completion for automatic completion of common
options under the bash shell.
- Print rule name when a script rule crashes
- Allow the declaration of an expression list or parameter list
metavariable to specify the number of expressions or parameters,
respectively.
** Bugfix:
- drop inconsistent paths check when only one node was matched
- better take into account virtual rules when selecting glimpse tokens
- print diff when only a comment is added
- the type of the C code !x should be int regardless of the type of x
- allow python code at the beginning of an included file
- better adjustment of whitespace when deleting adjacent lines. Thanks to
Wolfram Sang for pointing out the problem.
- allow metavariables to be inherited from included files
- allow ? on goto
- more graceful failure on finding a strange character in a macro parameter
list
- support Parameter metavariables
- add space after the last comma in an added portion of an argument list
- SmPL nameless struct should only match a nameless struct, not a nameless
union. Thanks to Peter Tummeltshammer for pointing out the problem.
- adjustments to storage don't modify inline as well
- matching and transformation allowed on inline
- allow removed field between two ... in structure initialization
- allow removing an entire structure initialization
- manage labels within do while 0 macros
- added space after : in printing a conditional expression. Thanks to Josh
Triplett for noticing the problem.
- dropped trailing whitespace when code at the end of a line is deleted.
Thanks to Josh Triplett for noticing the problem.
- Fixed environment management when script rule uses cache. Thanks to
Bissyande for finding the problem.
- when false matches if with no else
- ensure { ... } with whencode checks to the end of the function. Thanks to
Rene Rydhof Hansen for finding the problem.

- iso constant metavariable matches an identifier whose name is all capital
letters, eg NULL

a pointer type
- better handling of . or .. in -dir name
- allow keywords and metavariable names in identifier constraints (not sure
keywords is very useful, though)
- no lubtype on arguments of && and || in SmPL
- allow unknown as type for array indices in SmPL
- support matching of static annotation on functions that are both static
and inline
- support ENOTDIR error in Common.lfile_exists, to allow for the case where
an include file is in a subdirectory that exists but is an ordinary file,
not a directory.
- better management of unbound position variables that appear in
constraints
- cause python parser to skip over // comments, hoping that // is not
meaningful inside python
- require + on every line of a multiline comment
- correct calculation of line numbers when there is script code

- hack added to accept well-formed #define after function header
** Bugfix:
- Proper consideration of #define macro arguments in checking for the use
of metavariables and in computing the line numbers of complex terms

regular expressions using the "~=" and "!~=" operators followed by
an OCaml regular expression (see man Str) in double quote.
- Virtual rules, which can be referenced in depends, and set and unset
using the command-line options -D
- ++ for multiple additions
** Features:
- coccicheck: a framework to check a series of SmPL files on a project
see scripts/coccicheck for more information
** Bugfix:
- bind position variables to the correct starting position in the case of a
complex statement such as an if or while. Thanks to Derek Jones for
pointing out the problem.
- checking for non mentioned case lines in switch should be unchecked.
- space should be printed after sizeof when there are no parentheses around
the argument. Thanks to Daniel Walker for pointing out the problem.

implementation.
- more flexible env.sh, thanks to Derek Jones.
- faster Python invocation
- simplify unparsing in the sgrep case
** Bugfix:
- for glimpse there is no point to create a pattern containing a numeric
constant because glimpse doesn't index them
- add spaces after commas in function calls and function headers
- made python integration more like the ubuntu version
http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/extracted/debian/c/coccinelle/0.1.5dbs-2/01-system-pycaml
this fixes some memory management problems with None, True, and False
- correct labels associated with a switch in the CFG so that a statement
metavariable can match a switch. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out
the problem.
- keep switch pattern within switch body. Thanks to Derek Jones for
pointing out the problem.
- Allow expanded tokens to be stored in metavariables, as long as they are
not removed. But this does currently allow them in + code, which will
produce the expansion. Thanks to Ali-Erdem Ozcan for pointing out the
problem.
- improved adjustment of spacing when code removed at the beginning of a line
* 0.1.9
** Language:
- allow fresh identifiers to be declared using ## such that the value mixes
both strings and previously declared metavariables
** Features:
- better handling of expanded code containing ##. Now compute the
result.
- more precise warning message for the "'\' outside define".
Thanks to Nicholas Mc Guire for pointing out the problem.
- more precise warning message related to ifdefization.
Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem.
- we don't create any more certain files in /tmp (they may be a cause
of security problems).
Thanks to Eugeniy Meshcheryakov for pointing out the problem.
- More optimization for the case of just deleting a complete function.
Allows this to happen without tracing through all the control-flow
paths. Thanks to Francois Bissyande for pointing out the problem.
- prevent code from being added to the beginning or end of a disjunction
- more information about why a script is not applied when using -debug option
- added -no_safe_expressions option
- added -no_loops option. Ignores back edges derived from looping
constructs. This is unsafe, but perhaps useful for bug finding, as it can
be more efficient.
- for semantic matches, allow "minus" on same code with multiple
environments
- better error message for mismatch of parenthesis in column 0 with normal
parenthesis. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem.
- allow disjunctions on function return types. Thanks to Pierre Habouzit
for pointing this out.
** Bugfix:
- keep disjunction in the proper order for structure initialization fields
- variables declared in different places should not seem to match each
other
- drop complaints about label metavariables not being used
- drop test information from the type of an expression when the expression
is bound to a metavariable
- nests should not extend beyond the before and after code, even if the
before and after code matches the nest code
- nests should extend into conditionals that end in error exit
- take into account metavariables on "else". Thanks to Derek Jones for
pointing out the problem.
- print single quotes on generated character constants
- better typedef handling in the initialisation/affectation builtin
isomorphism, cf -test init_affect_typedef
- support disjunction of types on variable declaration
- allow @ within strings in script code. ignore // comment lines in script
code.
- don't drop + code placed after the transformed code
- drop spaces produced by removing code before semicolons
- adjusted spacing within generated code
- less verbose -sp. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem.
- accept multiple type names in a SmPL typedef declaration.

Coccinelle is a program matching and transformation engine which provides
|
|
the language SmPL (Semantic Patch Language) for specifying desired matches
|
|
and transformations in C code. Coccinelle was initially targeted towards
|
|
performing collateral evolutions in Linux. Such evolutions comprise the
|
|
changes that are needed in client code in response to evolutions in library
|
|
APIs, and may include modifications such as renaming a function, adding a
|
|
function argument whose value is somehow context-dependent, and reorganizing
|
|
a data structure. Beyond collateral evolutions, Coccinelle is successfully
|
|
used (by us and others) for finding and fixing bugs in systems code.
