Hello,

The semantic patch language supports source code searches also for uses
of specific data types. Such restricted searches can occasionally be nice.
But we would like to find more software variations often enough.
The consequence is that metavariables of the kind “expression” will usually
be applied. But it becomes uncertain then to which data types the found
expressions will be resolved finally.

We would like to achieve considerably safe software transformations.
Use cases occur then where the correct application of data types
is essential. (The introduction of false positives is undesirable here.)

How much can SmPL scripts help for corresponding changes?

Regards,
Markus
