The problem is in parsing the containing function. The current attempt to
parse C++ is not very affective on your code...
In the first case, the problem is the line:
NS_IMETHODIMP nsWindow::SetTitle(const nsString& aTitle)
specifically the& after nsString. What are the constraints on this&?
Does it have to appear at the end of an identifier? Can it only appear on
a type name?
In the second case, the problem is a new:
input = new char[strlen(acceptLanguage)+1];
It might be possible to recognize new and then treat it as a function
call.
I think a lot of such C++ snippets would be parsed by Coccinelle if
'&' and 'new' would be treated as having similar constraints as '*' and
an unary operator respectively.
