* Can this fact trigger corresponding challenges for safe transformations by the semantic patch language? * Would you occasionally like to determine the corresponding data type then? > A struct metavariable matches an expression that has struct type (for any > struct type). A char metavariable matches an expression that has char type. I find this information very interesting for further clarification. * Is a data type conversion performed by the Coccinelle software? * Where should the explanation be found in the documentation for such software behaviour? > identifier doesn't fit in this discussion. It only matches identifiers, > not arbitrary expressions. I find that this metavariable will handle more variations for an item by itself than the specification of a single C data type according to this attempt for a property comparison. >> We would like to achieve source code transformations which can be compiled >> (or not). > > No idea what you mean by compiled. I wonder about such a feedback. > Compiled by what compiler? You can choose an appropriate program, can't you? >> How often will it matter then how these selections will be applied? > > What selections? The source code will be filtered according to the specified metavariables.
