Such a try is generally nice.

Can this view trigger opportunities to improve corresponding clarification attempts?

I suggest to reconsider your conclusion.
How will corresponding software development experiments evolve?

I hope that such information can help also in our communication.
Are you looking for further help according to an usual learning experience?


> even I still digging trying to figure out how to do that

Do you find the available software documentation helpful?
https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/blob/ed1eb8e06f800739d3992158d36945c0c4c6f0c7/docs/manual/cocci_syntax.tex#L337

How would you like to reduce involved uncertainty?

Which level of understanding did you achieve for the following functionality
so far?
* SmPL ellipsis
* SmPL disjunction

Markus
