Metavariables don't have "name" in their declaration. There is a sentence about that in the documentation. The {\bf name} modifier specifies that instead of declaring a metavariable to match over some kind, the identifiers are to be considered as elements of that kind when they appear in the code. "instead of declaring a metavariable" says that the thing that is declared is not a metavariable. julia > > > >> Will a more helpful explanation be added to the software documentation > >> like the SmPL manual? > >> https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/blob/e06b9156dfa02a28cf3cbf0913a10513f3d163ab/docs/manual/cocci_syntax.tex#L452 > > > > The discussion of attribute name and name in general already seems clear enough. > > I got an other impression. > > > >> Which display do you get for the command “spatch --parse-cocci tests/metaattr.cocci” > >> according to the discussed development version of your software? > > > > There is no warning.
