Our understanding of this software detail seems to match. But I assume that the asterisk can be treated in a different way by the isomorphism definition language in comparison to the semantic patch language. How much does context-dependent interpretation matter here? > There is no need for X to match a pointer that is dereferenced. I got further development imaginations around the places where you would specify pointer dereferences by metavariables instead of leaving asterisks in source code search fragments.
