Since only those container_of are to replaced with list_entry which have a variable of type list_head* , I wanted to check if it occurs anywhere before container_of , which it only does in it's declaration , because it can't be in any statement by itself . I think it will be better to write . @r@ identifier e; struct list_head* l; @@ <... container_of(l,...); ...> e = -container_of +list_entry ( ....) >> ( >> e = >> -container_of >> +list_entry >> ( >> ...) >> ) > > Here you don't need the outer ( ).
