Coccinelle Coccinelle allows programmers to easily write some complex style-preserving source-to-source transformations on C source code, like for instance to perform some refactorings. To install Coccinelle from its source, see the instructions in install.txt. Once you have installed coccinelle, there is a script 'spatch' in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin that invokes the Coccinelle program. If you want to run Coccinelle without installing it, you can run the Coccinelle program directly from the download/build directory. You may then have to setup a few environment variables so that the Coccinelle program knows where to find its configuration files. For bash do: $ source env.sh For tcsh do: $ source env.csh You can test coccinelle with: $ spatch -sp_file demos/simple.cocci demos/simple.c -o /tmp/new_simple.c If you haven't installed coccinelle, run then ./spatch or ./spatch.opt If you downloaded the bytecode version of spatch you may first have to install OCaml (which contains the 'ocamlrun' bytecode interpreter, the equivalent of 'java', the Java virtual machine, but for OCaml) and then do: $ ocamlrun spatch -sp_file demos/simple.cocci demos/simple.c -o /tmp/new_simple.c For more information on Coccinelle, type 'make docs' and have a look at the files in the docs/ directory. You may need to install the texlive-fonts-extra packages from your distribution to compile some of the LaTeX documentation files. ** Runtime dependencies under Debian/Ubuntu** - For the OCaml scripting feature in SmPL ocaml-native-compilers or ocaml-nox --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributing: Contributions are welcome. Please sign your contributions, according to the following text extracted from Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt of the Linux kernel: The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below: Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. then you just add a line saying Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
