I will always remember it ^^ Yup, if we can have static and dynamic checks of the same quality, static checks are always better alternative. In this case, runtime check would probably be an expedite solution suitable for a shorter term to fill the gap, as a static check with the same quality as it would probably need some time to develop. > Since Junio and you both have an interest in Coccinelle, if you allow, > I want to look into it. I do not have any particular interest. If it is a tool fit for the task, it would be good to use it, that's all ;-)
