It looks at neighboring lines to see how they are indented. > Example: Where do you want to place curly braces if an instruction block like > "if" will be adjusted? If you are writing the whole if, then you can put the braces where you want, and use the -smpl_spacing argument. If the curly braces are added because you are adding some code inside an if branch and coccinelle spontaneously adds the curly braces to maintain the parse tree, then you will be stuck with Coccinelle's default. > > If one is generating complete functions, then perhaps the situation is > > different. > > It seems that Ajay Panyala was interested in such an use case. > http://lists.diku.dk/pipermail/cocci/2011-August/002117.html Sure. I have done that as well. But I suspect that it is not the most common use. julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
