Thanks for your interest.


> Could you explain this script a bit more?

Yes, of course.

It shows the general structure of a simple script for the semantic patch language.

Outline:
* Block for definition of SmPL metavariables
* Specification of C source code fragments (together with desired changes)


> What exactly does "@name_replacement@" mean?

Such a SmPL rule can specify a name for it. Which identifier would you
choose there according to your naming preferences?

> Does it the interpretation of "my_type *" further down?

No. - I tend to use a title there which is descriptive somewhat.

Do you plan to try any more SmPL scripts out?
How do you think about to share further experiences?

Regards,
Markus
