I have a use for coccinelle that I have not seen described. I need to
"filter" out a set of functions from a linux driver, so as to create a

Here's an example, from drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_bios.c: I'd like to
run a coccinelle spatch that would 'extract' the function
intel_setup_bios
I assume that you want to obtain all the code that is reachable from the
"intel_setup_bios" function. You also seem to suggest that you want to apply
transformations that will reduce these dependencies? E.g. when you eliminate
a function call, it may very well turn out that you don't need the callee
anymore. Is that correct?
If you do want what Arie is talking about, you can use iteration. You can
see an example in demos/iteration.cocci
julia
