Actually, I really didn't get why you're asking about that. because we are
talking about X and you're asking for Y. but, either way. that is not the
point. the point is because I am studying about the Coccinelle and I am
just trying to figure out if the tool could detect "%s" called with
"mydata->name" and then replace by "%m" and remove the "->name"
e.g: Once if we have:
int foo() {
int id;
struct mydata h1, *h2, s1, *s2;
char *city = "Hello";
my_printf("%s", s2->name);
my_printf("hi hi %s gggg", h1.name);
my_printf("1234 %d *%s* @ %d *%s* | *%s* -> city=%s", id, *s1.name
<http://s1.name>*, 12, *(*h2).name*, *h2->name*, city);
my_printf("aaaa %s hhhhh", h2->name);
my_printf("%s", city);
}
Then, replace by:
int foo() {
int id;
struct mydata h1, *h2, s1, *s2;
char *city = "Hello";
*my_printf("%m", s2);*
*my_printf("hi hi %s gggg", &h1);*
my_printf("1234 %d *%m* @ %d *%m* | *%m* -> city=%s", id, *s1.name
<http://s1.name>*, 12, *(*h2).name*, *h2->name*, city);
* my_printf("aaaa %s hhhhh", h2);*
my_printf("%s", city);
}
But, I've read again the other samples and the documentation. therefore, I
didn't figure out how it should be. btw, thank you Julia for the suggestion
performing the *Ocalm/make_expr/replace*. (Due to something wrong with the
Coccinelle distributed by Brew/Osx. I just rewrote your sample using Python
and the result was the same. But, I can't just replace all "%s" by "%m". As
I said, it should be only if the "%s" was declared to use "mydata->name".
so, I still fighting yet. thanks in Advance.
Regards,
