Hello,

is there a way to capture in a statement list the comments and empty
lines between statements?

I've got asked for scripting help to merge a ton of helper functions
into their only caller.

Of course it is trivial to do with coccinelle. But the comments and
empty lines get lost in the process:

  spatch merge.cocci -D func=foo_base merge.c > merge.diff


It is not a big issue, only about 55 functions to merge. So I can either
use the above script and add the comments and newlines back. Or copy the
stuff manually.

thanks
bye
