Hello,

I have tried the following small script variant out for
the semantic patch language.

@replacement@
constant c;
identifier text;
expression x;
statement is, es;
@@
char* text = x(...);

if (
+   strcmp(
    text
+   ,
-   == std::string(
    c
    )
   )
   is
else
   es


A corresponding transformation result from the software
“Coccinelle 1.0.8-00029-ga549b9f0” looks promising (in principle).

1. But I wonder about an additional space character at the beginning
   of the shown function in the generated patch.

2. Will it become possible to achieve a similar change
   if the specification “auto” would be used instead of
   the data type “char*”?
