18 | * 0.2.5 |
19 | ** Language: | |
3a314143 C |
20 | - Make a very small attempt to parse C++ code, amounting to accepting |
21 | identifiers containing ::, tilde, and template invocations. Use the | |
22 | option -c++. This is not likely to be very useful in practice. | |
b23ff9c7 | 23 | - Added metavariable metavariable type. |
d3f655c6 | 24 | - Add disjunctions on identifiers in some contexts |
f59c9fb7 | 25 | - Pretend that & indicates a pointer in -c++ mode |
190f1acf C |
26 | - Support for new and delete |
27 | - Allow arrays in smpl parameter declarations. Thanks to Jesper Louis | |
28 | Andersen for pointing out the problem. | |
29 | - Field list metavariables | |
30 | - Add the ability to add __attributes__ (NB, no matching on attributes) | |
31 | - Slightly improved the error message for transformation on multiple | |
32 | variable declaration. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for pointing out the | |
33 | problem. | |

38 | - allow #endif XXX in C code |
39 | - relax_include_path now applied to non local includes too, in which case | |
40 | it tries to find a unique file with a suffix of the provided name. | |
41 | this is useful for directories that are intended to be symbolic links. | |
42 | - support matching and removing #undef | |
43 | - support for iteration in ocaml, requires use of -no_show_diff | |
44 | - calls to likely and unlikely propagate test expression status to their | |
45 | arguments | |

318 | constant because glimpse doesn't index them | |
319 | - add spaces after commas in function calls and function headers | |
320 | - made python integration more like the ubuntu version | |
321 | http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/extracted/debian/c/coccinelle/0.1.5dbs-2/01-system-pycaml | |
322 | this fixes some memory management problems with None, True, and False | |
323 | - correct labels associated with a switch in the CFG so that a statement | |
324 | metavariable can match a switch. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out | |
325 | the problem. | |
326 | - keep switch pattern within switch body. Thanks to Derek Jones for | |
327 | pointing out the problem. | |
328 | - Allow expanded tokens to be stored in metavariables, as long as they are | |
329 | not removed. But this does currently allow them in + code, which will | |
330 | produce the expansion. Thanks to Ali-Erdem Ozcan for pointing out the | |
331 | problem. | |
332 | - improved adjustment of spacing when code removed at the beginning of a line | |
333 | ||

348 | of security problems). | |
349 | Thanks to Eugeniy Meshcheryakov for pointing out the problem. | |
350 | - More optimization for the case of just deleting a complete function. | |
351 | Allows this to happen without tracing through all the control-flow | |
352 | paths. Thanks to Francois Bissyande for pointing out the problem. | |
353 | - prevent code from being added to the beginning or end of a disjunction | |
354 | - more information about why a script is not applied when using -debug option | |
355 | - added -no_safe_expressions option | |
356 | - added -no_loops option. Ignores back edges derived from looping | |
357 | constructs. This is unsafe, but perhaps useful for bug finding, as it can | |
358 | be more efficient. | |
359 | - for semantic matches, allow "minus" on same code with multiple | |
360 | environments | |
361 | - better error message for mismatch of parenthesis in column 0 with normal | |
362 | parenthesis. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |

368 | - variables declared in different places should not seem to match each | |
369 | other | |
370 | - drop complaints about label metavariables not being used | |
371 | - drop test information from the type of an expression when the expression | |
372 | is bound to a metavariable | |
373 | - nests should not extend beyond the before and after code, even if the | |
374 | before and after code matches the nest code | |
375 | - nests should extend into conditionals that end in error exit | |
376 | - take into account metavariables on "else". Thanks to Derek Jones for | |
377 | pointing out the problem. | |
378 | - print single quotes on generated character constants | |
379 | - better typedef handling in the initialisation/affectation builtin | |
380 | isomorphism, cf -test init_affect_typedef | |
381 | - support disjunction of types on variable declaration | |
002099fc C |
382 | - allow @ within strings in script code. ignore // comment lines in script |
383 | code. | |
384 | - don't drop + code placed after the transformed code | |

708f4980 C |
390 | * 0.1.8 |
391 | ||
392 | ** Language: | |
393 | ||
394 | ** Features: | |
395 | - Metavariables now capture the cpp code contained within their definitions | |
396 | - When - fragments are separated by ... or nest boundaries in the semantic | |
397 | patch, but end up matching adjacent source code, the comments, cpp code | |
398 | and whitespace that are between them are not deleted. | |
399 | - better parsing of C: do expansion of macros only when needed when | |
400 | have actually a parse error and also leverage the definition of macros | |
401 | in the parsed file (or in a optional_standard.h file passed as a parameter). | |
402 | This should reduce the need for many hardcoded definitions in standard.h | |
403 | - new semantics for the -macro_file option, by default now expand macros | |
404 | only when necessary. To force use the -macro_file_builtins option instead. | |
405 | - a new -extract_macros command line action to help the parser. Works with | |
406 | the -macro_file option. e.g. | |
407 | $ ./spatch -extract_macros ~/linux > /tmp/alldefs.h | |
408 | $ ./spatch -macro_file /tmp/alldefs.h -sp_file foo.cocci -dir ~/linux | |
409 | - removed -D macro_file option, not consistent with what -D usually means | |
410 | - reattempt to be more efficient for statement metavariables that are just | |
411 | placeholders (ie, no modification, no reuse) | |
412 | - triples now returned from ctl in sorted order. The main key is the | |
413 | state. On the other hand, the state order does not always agree with the | |
414 | order of appearance in the code. | |
415 | - spatch is now less verbose on the things it does yet handle. Less confusing | |
416 | for new users. | |
417 | - slightly better error report. Thanks to Derek Jones for the suggestion. | |
418 | - added the options -linux_spacing and -smpl_spacing. -linux_spacing | |
419 | causes spatch to follow the spacing conventions of Linux, while | |
420 | -smpl_spacing causes spatch to follow the spacing in the semantic patch. | |
421 | -linux_spacing is the default. | |
422 | - more informative error reporting for the already tagged token case. | |
423 | Thanks to Erik Hovland for the suggestion. | |

425 | ** Bugfix: | |
426 | - better parsing of declare macro at toplevel and in structure. | |
427 | cf -text xfield | |
428 | - allowing back typedef names for fieldname | |
429 | - better printing of else in generated code | |
430 | - slightly better type inference for binary operators. | |
431 | - clear out declarer names and iterator names between SmPL files (for | |
432 | -testall) | |
433 | - better parsing and type checking of macro type aliases. Cf -test macro_int16. | |
434 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
435 | - make insert_virtual_positions tail rec, avoid stack overflow pb. | |
436 | Thanks to Diego Liziero <diegoliz@gmail.com> for pointing out the | |
437 | problem. | |
438 | - Better type inference for arithmetic binary operators | |
439 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
440 | - Better type inference for constants | |
441 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
442 | - move computing of adjacency information for semantic patches to after | |
443 | application of isomorphisms, because isomorphisms can introduce "..." | |
444 | - compute adjacency information for negated ... | |
445 | - record with each transformation site the set of indices of the witness | |
446 | trees that caused the transformation site to come about. Whitespace and | |
447 | comments between remove tokens associated with disjoint witness trees is | |
448 | not removed. | |
449 | - correct treatment of function pointer typed parameters in the SmPL ast0 | |
450 | visitor. | |
451 | - better parsing error message and error recovery when comments are not ended, | |
452 | when some macros have a weird body, and when some switch have a weird | |
453 | Body. | |
454 | Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |
455 | - better detection and passing of "dangerous" ifdefs, cf -test | |
456 | double_switch. | |
457 | - dropped the separation of decls and body in Seq. This gives better | |
458 | positioning of the bindings of metavariables shared between them. | |
459 | Thanks to Erik Hovland for an example that shows the problem. | |

475 | - better handling of cpp "constructed" identifiers as in a##b, that in | |
476 | the futur will make it easier to match over those idents. | |
477 | cf tests/pb_parsing_macro.c. Thanks to Ali-Erdem Ozcan for pointing | |

480 | ||
481 | ** Bugfix: | |
482 | - drop excessive "optimization" in ctl generation for while and for loops | |
483 | - allow . as the name of the directory | |
484 | - for type inference for an assignment, take the type of the right-hand | |
485 | side expression, not the type of the assigned variable | |
486 | - allow for with a declartion in the first header element, as in C++ | |
487 | (partial support) | |
488 | - allow for matching against variable declarations that include only | |
489 | storage, eg static, but no type at all. | |
490 | - allow for matching against types that contain both short/long and int | |
491 | - allow the type metavariable in the SmPL code "unsigned T" to match a T | |
492 | that is a type consisting of more than one word, eg long int. | |
493 | - -ifdef_to_if option made to process nested ifdefs | |

502 | not parse as much code as before. | |
503 | - removed popl/ and popl09/ and popl related stuff from official distrib. | |
