OK, then I know that. > This also hints that Coccinelle is more than simply > a textual substituter - you can only write patches that makes sense in > C's syntax and grammar. What I was trying to do was to add some pre-processor macro that eventually could expand to "__attribute__((nothrow))". This is a gcc extention and I understand that it will not fit into coccinelle's C grammar. This attempt was triggered by the question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4695741/is-there-a-gcc-option-to-assume-all-extern-c-functions-cannot-propagate-excepti. Adding something in front of all functions in an existing code base will probably be a PITA, but I was just wondering if coccinelle could be used to do that in which case the pain might be tolerable. So this not something I need to solve and do something with. Thank you for the answer.
