I have got another concern for a corresponding implementation detail.
How can a constraint be specified for the filter in the semantic patch
so that the expression refers only to non-volatile data?
Is it a software development challenge to exclude accesses on volatile
data elements eventually from the suggested deletion of condition checks?
