It is a very hard problem to beautify code. I don't see any reason for Coccinelle to do that as well. Coccinelle needs to make the code readable and to try to respect the existing style. But if someone wants something more exotic, they should use some tool that is designed for that. Actually, I think that most of the changes one does with Coccinelle are quite localized, and so the format really doesn't matter. If one is generating complete functions, then perhaps the situation is different. julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
