> Metavariables lose all of their whitespace and comments, Would you like to reconsider such details because of information from the documentation?
“Coccinelle is a tool to help automate repetitive source-to-source style-preserving program transformations on C source code, like for instance to perform some refactorings.” https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/blob/848f85e256516330c06f5fd8dc782b854ed9aa03/docs/manual/introduction.tex#L4 > so that they can be unified against other instances that have different > whitespace and comments. The involved abstraction levels influence the software situation considerably. > Perhaps dropping the information could be delayed until the metavariable > needs to be compared against another one, but that doesn't seem to be > what is done at the moment. I am curious on how the motivation will evolve for corresponding imaginations and change possibilities. Would you like to take another look at a feature request like “Add a metavariable for the handling of source code”? https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/140 Regards, Markus _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci
