Message repetition from 2019-05-16 because of a temporary technical difficulty with the mailing list services:
===== Hello, The semantic patch language can handle several rules which can contain remarkable amounts of source code search specifications. It can happen then that a few of these SmPL rules contain a bit of common specifications. Example: @one@ @@ code_area_1 code_area_2 @two@ @@ code_area_1 code_area_3 Now I would like to clarify possibilities again to reduce unwanted code duplication at such places. The common code part can be moved to another SmPL rule. @start@ @@ code_area_1 Subsequent SmPL rules can refer to metavariables from previous rules. But how can be achieved that the code search will be continued at a place after the position where a previous rule ended its search (without extra code repetition)? Can the splitting and recombination of such rules become more convenient with extensions for the Coccinelle software?
