Hello,
In a set of C files, I would like to replace each instance of one type
(struct fasel_foo) with another type (struct fasel_bar). For instance,
char* fasel_foo_print(struct fasel_foo *ptr) {
// ...
return "this struct fasel_foo string should not change";
}
should become
char* fasel_foo_print(struct fasel_bar *ptr) {
// ...
return "this struct fasel_foo string should not change";
}
Based on the LWN articles that I've read, this seems like the perfect
use-case for coccinelle. However, somehow I'm struggling to write a
patch for this. All the documentation that I could get my hands on seems
to describe more abstract changes that require the use of variables -
but as far as I can tell, I need something much simpler:
@@
"struct fasel_foo must be a type name!"
@@
- struct fasel_foo
+ struct fasel_bar
...if only I knew what to put between the @@.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Best,
-Nikolaus
