Version 1.0.0-rc10 is now available. There are a number of changes:
* Multicharacter command-line options now begin with -- and contain -
rather than _. For those who are used to the old options, they are
still all suported, by replacing the initial - by -- and any _s by -.
* In previous versions of Coccinelle, it was possible to attach a position
variable to any token, using @. Now it is possible to do the same with
some other kinds of metavariables: expressions, declarations,
initialisers, types, and statements. These metavariables transparently
move upwards to match the innermost enclosing term of the corresponding
kind. A position metavariable then matches the position of that other
kind of metavariable andnot of the token. This is best illustrated by
an example:
f(...)@p1@E@p2
p1 is the position of the ). E is the complete function call
expression. p2 is the position of the complete function call
expression. The ability to attach more metavariable kinds in this way
may be added in the future.
* For a list metavariable, python code now receives an object containing
a list of the strings representing the elements. For example, if es is
an expression list, then accessing es in python gives a string
representing the complete list of expressions, and accessing es[i] gives
the string for the ith element, starting at 0. The list of elements is
actually stored in es.elements, which can be used to get the number of
expressions in the list. (This could also have been obtained from the
SmPL expression list metavariable declaration itself, by saying
expression list[n] es.
* For expressions and identifiers, python code now receives ordinary
strings, rather than objects that only contain strings.
