I occasionally imported code data into list variables
or even database tables.

Will feature requests like the following become more interesting?

* Advanced data processing for source code comments
  https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/57

* Add a metavariable for the handling of source code
  https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/140

How will the understanding evolve for the OCaml source code
of this software?

I am also curious on how the corresponding clarification will be continued.

By the way:
Yesterday I stumbled on another questionable software behaviour
while trying to apply an update suggestion from our development discussion
on the topic “[v6] coccinelle: semantic code search for missing put_device()”.

Will the need be reconsidered?


I got another development concern here:
You propose to use a SmPL conjunction in the rule “r1”.
How does it fit to the previous exclusion specification “when != 
of_node_put(x)”?
