No, it's an enum-ish type, more like a bitmask type that can have various values. > Do you already have the set of fonctions that take a sometype_t parameter > or should you first find them ? The number of such functions is quite large, so it's probably better to detect them. But finding them in advance should also be easily doable. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
