I hope that more development challenges will be picked up. The code from a mentioned source file can be reduced to the following test file. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h?id=7111951b8d4973bda27ff663f2cf18b663d15b48#n122 // deleted part static inline int FNAME(is_present_gpte)(unsigned long pte) { #if PTTYPE != PTTYPE_EPT return pte & PT_PRESENT_MASK; #else return pte & 7; #endif } // deleted part Application of the software “Coccinelle 1.0.8-00029-ga549b9f0” (OCaml 4.10.0) elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> spatch --parse-c paging_tmpl-excerpt1.h … (ONCE) CPP-MACRO: found known macro = FNAME … parse error = File "paging_tmpl-excerpt1.h", line 2, column 41, charpos = 57 around = 'unsigned', … BAD:!!!!! static inline int FNAME(is_present_gpte)(unsigned long pte) … NB total files = 1; perfect = 0; pbs = 1; timeout = 0; =========> 0% nb good = 1, nb passed = 1 =========> 10.00% passed nb good = 1, nb bad = 8 =========> 20.00% good or passed How would you like to improve the affected software areas?
