Hello, Would you like to know how many named function parameters are used in the source files? How do you think about to try the following semantic query approach out a bit more? @initialize:python@ @@ import sys import sqlite3 as SQLite connection = SQLite.connect(":memory:") c = connection.cursor() c.execute("""create table numbers (number integer)""") delimiter = "|" def store_number(count): """Add an integer to an internal list.""" c.execute("""insert into numbers (number) values (?)""", (count, ) ) @counting_parameters@ identifier work; parameter list[number] pl; type return_type; @@ return_type work(pl) { ... } @script:python collection@ count << counting_parameters.number; @@ store_number(count) @finalize:python@ @@ c.execute("""select count(*) nr from numbers""") result = c.fetchone() if result[0] > 0: c.execute("""create index x on numbers (number)""") c.execute("select number, count(*) nr from numbers group by number") sys.stdout.write(delimiter.join( ("number", "counter") )) sys.stdout.write("\r\n") for result in c: sys.stdout.write(delimiter.join((str(result[0]), str(result[1]) ))) sys.stdout.write("\r\n") else: sys.stderr.write("No result for this analysis!\n") connection.close() elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> XX=$(date) && spatch.opt -timeout 12 -sp-file list_parameter_numbers1.cocci -dir /usr/src/linux-stable > list_parameter_numbers1.txt 2> list_parameter_numbers1-errors.txt ; YY=$(date) && echo "$XX * $YY" ... elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> cat list_parameter_numbers1.txt number|counter 0|29 1|18261 2|15374 3|12237 4|8159 5|4339 6|2701 7|1183 8|518 9|260 10|146 11|83 12|42 13|21 14|9 15|7 16|2 17|4 18|1 21|1 22|1 Do you find such an analysis result from the source files for Linux 3.17.4 interesting for further considerations?
