Subject: Re: [Cocci] [PATCH 1/2] parsing_c: Align C AST and Cocci AST for const pointer variants
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2020 09:30:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <88e09c8a-e39f-2722-9f87-333d2c14a7a2@web.de> (raw)

> For a pointer, the C parser constructed an AST dissimilar from that

> Pointer2 -> const Pointer1 -> char

Which software development tools support to check such information?

Regards,
Markus
