I have added something. It will be available in the next release. > How does this software extension differ in the handling of several changes > in patch scripts together without using an ampersand? The & combines patterns that must match at the same place, with a consistent metavariable environment. If you have two separate rules, they can match anywhere. Also, if you put matches in multiple branches of a conjunction, you may run the risk of an already tagged token error, if the two branches make changes to the same tokens. Two different rules can make changes the same tokens with no problem. julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci
