Hi,
Markus, I think that CCing new people and spam them with mails they
are obviously not interested in doesn't bring an additional value to
the discussion. linux-kernel and cocci mailing lists are enough
in my opinion. This also will allow us to keep "threaded" mail
order.

Without this patch the script generates:

With this patch it generates nothing. I would expect spatch to generate
a different patch with sprintf instead of scnprintf, because I think
... is enough to match "*(int *)(ea->var)". Even if it can't match sprintf
pattern it should fallback to scnprintf pattern.

It doesn't work.
