The patterns should be as close to C as possible. Thus, in general syntax extensions are unacceptable. Ideally, the user should be able to do everything he wants from knowing the patch format and from an example that shows how to declare some metavariables. I realize that the current state of the language might not meet up to that ideal :) It would certainly be possible to make a language that has a lot more kinds of different decorations, but that is not the goal of this particular project, and that might not meet the needs of quite the same user community. julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
