Hi there,

I am looking at a CTL formula generated by spatch with "--show-ctl-text",

for example, for a cocci file like
@@
expression e,e1,e2;
@@

if (e)
- GOTO(e1);
-else GOTO(e2);
+ e1;
+else e2;

it corresponding CTL formula is:

CTL =
Let _r_0 = (EX^((TrueBranch v InLoop)) v EX^(EX^(FalseBranch))) in
((_r_0 &
(Ex e1 .
((Ex_ e . (Ex _v . if (e) )) &,
((EX(FalseBranch) &, EX(After)) &,
((EX((TrueBranch &, AX((Ex _v . GOTO(e1);)))) &,
EX((FalseBranch &,
AX(((Ex _v . else ) &, AX((Ex e2 . (Ex _v . GOTO(e2);))))))))
&, EX((After &, EX((Ex _v . _S1)))))))))
v
(!_r_0 &
(Ex e1 .
((Ex_ e . if (e) ) &,
(EX(FalseBranch) &,
((EX((TrueBranch &, AX((Ex _v . GOTO(e1);)))) &,
EX((FalseBranch &,
AX(((Ex _v . else ) &, AX((Ex e2 . (Ex _v . GOTO(e2);))))))))
&, EX(After)))))))

and I noticed that
Let _r_0 = (EX^((TrueBranch v InLoop)) v EX^(EX^(FalseBranch))) in
is a fixed pattern, and I can track it at somewhere around the function of
do_between_dots in the module Asttoctl2, but I don't what it stands for.

Cloud someone tell me what purpose it serves for?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Evan
