I'm not completely sure to understand the example. Is it correct that the modified C code has nothing to do with the semantic patch? Normally, the only formatting problems would be inside metavariables. For example, you remove whatever p matches and then put it back. In that case, the spaces are not part of the binding of p, so it uses some heuristics to figure out where to put them. But that does not appear to be the problem here.
If it is indeed the case that the C code shown is related to what is matched by the semantic patch, then you can probably avoid the problem by reexpressing it as follows: t *x = - (t*) p; But it would be better if the original version were to work as well. julia On Wed, 7 Jul 2010, Kulikov Vasiliy wrote: > Hi folks, > > is there a way to suppress code tabs/spaces reformatting by coccinelle? > > E.g.
