From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx> Cocccinelle has received quite a bit of features, one is the ability to use git grep functionality for indexing. Another is some fixes for parallelism support. Instead of just assuming everyone has the latest release of coccinelle have the script check for the release installed and use sensible defaults which are known to work the best. This also infers what indexing option should be used for you: - Use glimpse if you have glimpseindex; otherwise: - Use git grep if you have a git tree; otherwise: - Use cocci grep We'll use the new --jobs (paramap support) if the release is > 1.0.2, otherwise we'll default to our old Python wrappar parallelism support. This also preps up pycocci to be extended later with other tools, for example we're considering to add SmPL patch proof support into pycocci now, with the reqs checks stuff in place this should be rather easy to ensure folks have the requirements present. If there are no issues I'll push these into the Coccinelle git tree. Luis R.
