I find this aspect strange when it was already discussed several times. http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/struct_initialization How would you prefer to handle various software development challenges around specifications for variable definitions?

I have no idea what you are asking for. In any case, an expression metavariable already matches a variable.

Re: [Cocci] Easier search for assignment targets with SmPL
> var = action(...); This specification looks also simple for the semantic patch language at first glance. I tried to express that a specific value is assigned to something. But this “something” could be a different item depending on the position in the source code. 1. Variable 2. Expression 3. Element for a designated initialiser I would appreciate if I do not need to repeat specifications for these cases in SmPL code. How do you think about the possibility to support the desired source code search by an additional metavariable type there? Can it become safer and more convenient to handle assignments here?
