hi
I've tried to figure out why there is a strong and unexceptional scope of
coccinelle on semantic patching. Why not metaprogramming, or macro
preprocessor on steroids? I would be very interested in this, but couldn't
find anything in the docs. And maybe I'm completely on the wrong trail
here, because one problem I see is extending the syntax would mean to
(mis)reinterpret C's syntax since coccinelle 'just' understand C.
But as little stupid regex hacker I'm impressed by the possibility to
leave the rather line oriented approach and going deep into a construct
and programmatically rearrange evey token I want. And so I'm a little
obsessed by the idea that coccinelle can make data out of c code and give
me a powerfull macro system.
