I propose to move parts of the mentioned concerns out of the way.
The software performs a source file pre-selection.
https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/blob/7cf2c23e64066d5249a64a316cc5347831f7a63f/docs/manual/spatch_options.tex#L183
File indexes can become involved according to search tools like
“GLIMPSE” and “GNU idutils”.
They can restrict the support for desired queries on file contents.
I got the impression that SmPL constraint variants can be specified in ways
which would fit also to such data format restrictions.
Higher level SmPL constraints can be more challenging to map to advanced queries.
How are the chances to improve the software situation here?
Regards,
Markus
