Particular code instances may be corrected in a better way. If you try to do everything at once then the kernel maintainer will have a big block that he has to either accept or reject. If there is one change that is not made in the best way, then he will have to reject it. On the other hand, if you do a few things at a time, then most of the individual things you do will perhaps be noncontroversial. julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci
