[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following semantic patch does part of the transformation:
// <smpl>
@ rule1 @
struct xt_match ops;
identifier check;
@@
 ops.checkentry = check;

@@
identifier rule1.check;
@@
 check(...) { <...
-return true;
+return 0;
 ...> }

@@
identifier rule1.check;
@@
 check(...) { <...
-return false;
+return -EINVAL;
