5 | ** Language: | |
6 | - declarations allowed in switch, suggested by Derek M. Jones | |
7 | ||
8 | ** Features: | |
9 | - use interval timer for timeouts. Thanks to Derek M. Jones for the | |
10 | implementation. | |
11 | - more flexible env.sh, thanks to Derek Jones. | |
12 | - faster Python invocation | |
13 | - simplify unparsing in the sgrep case | |
14 | ||
15 | ** Bugfix: | |
16 | - for glimpse there is no point to create a pattern containing a numeric | |
17 | constant because glimpse doesn't index them | |
18 | - add spaces after commas in function calls and function headers | |
19 | - made python integration more like the ubuntu version | |
20 | http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/extracted/debian/c/coccinelle/0.1.5dbs-2/01-system-pycaml | |
21 | this fixes some memory management problems with None, True, and False | |
22 | - correct labels associated with a switch in the CFG so that a statement | |
23 | metavariable can match a switch. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out | |
24 | the problem. | |
25 | - keep switch pattern within switch body. Thanks to Derek Jones for | |
26 | pointing out the problem. | |
27 | - Allow expanded tokens to be stored in metavariables, as long as they are | |
28 | not removed. But this does currently allow them in + code, which will | |
29 | produce the expansion. Thanks to Ali-Erdem Ozcan for pointing out the | |
30 | problem. | |
31 | - improved adjustment of spacing when code removed at the beginning of a line | |
32 | ||
978fd7e5 C |
33 | * 0.1.9 |
34 | ||
35 | ** Language: | |
36 | - allow fresh identifiers to be declared using ## such that the value mixes | |
37 | both strings and previously declared metavariables | |
38 | ||
39 | ** Features: | |
40 | - better handling of expanded code containing ##. Now compute the | |
41 | result. | |
42 | - more precise warning message for the "'\' outside define". | |
43 | Thanks to Nicholas Mc Guire for pointing out the problem. | |
44 | - more precise warning message related to ifdefization. | |
45 | Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |
46 | - we don't create any more certain files in /tmp (they may be a cause | |
47 | of security problems). | |
48 | Thanks to Eugeniy Meshcheryakov for pointing out the problem. | |
49 | - More optimization for the case of just deleting a complete function. | |
50 | Allows this to happen without tracing through all the control-flow | |
51 | paths. Thanks to Francois Bissyande for pointing out the problem. | |
52 | - prevent code from being added to the beginning or end of a disjunction | |
53 | - more information about why a script is not applied when using -debug option | |
54 | - added -no_safe_expressions option | |
55 | - added -no_loops option. Ignores back edges derived from looping | |
56 | constructs. This is unsafe, but perhaps useful for bug finding, as it can | |
57 | be more efficient. | |
58 | - for semantic matches, allow "minus" on same code with multiple | |
59 | environments | |
60 | - better error message for mismatch of parenthesis in column 0 with normal | |
61 | parenthesis. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |
62 | - allow disjunctions on function return types. Thanks to Pierre Habouzit | |
63 | for pointing this out. | |
64 | ||
65 | ** Bugfix: | |
66 | - keep disjunction in the proper order for structure initialization fields | |
67 | - variables declared in different places should not seem to match each | |
68 | other | |
69 | - drop complaints about label metavariables not being used | |
70 | - drop test information from the type of an expression when the expression | |
71 | is bound to a metavariable | |
72 | - nests should not extend beyond the before and after code, even if the | |
73 | before and after code matches the nest code | |
74 | - nests should extend into conditionals that end in error exit | |
75 | - take into account metavariables on "else". Thanks to Derek Jones for | |
76 | pointing out the problem. | |
77 | - print single quotes on generated character constants | |
78 | - better typedef handling in the initialisation/affectation builtin | |
79 | isomorphism, cf -test init_affect_typedef | |
80 | - support disjunction of types on variable declaration | |
002099fc C |
81 | - allow @ within strings in script code. ignore // comment lines in script |
82 | code. | |
83 | - don't drop + code placed after the transformed code | |
84 | - drop spaces produced by removing code before semicolons | |
85 | - adjusted spacing within generated code | |
86 | - less verbose -sp. Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |
87 | - accept multiple type names in a SmPL typedef declaration. | |

708f4980 C |
89 | * 0.1.8 |
90 | ||
91 | ** Language: | |
92 | ||
93 | ** Features: | |
94 | - Metavariables now capture the cpp code contained within their definitions | |
95 | - When - fragments are separated by ... or nest boundaries in the semantic | |
96 | patch, but end up matching adjacent source code, the comments, cpp code | |
97 | and whitespace that are between them are not deleted. | |
98 | - better parsing of C: do expansion of macros only when needed when | |
99 | have actually a parse error and also leverage the definition of macros | |
100 | in the parsed file (or in a optional_standard.h file passed as a parameter). | |
101 | This should reduce the need for many hardcoded definitions in standard.h | |
102 | - new semantics for the -macro_file option, by default now expand macros | |
103 | only when necessary. To force use the -macro_file_builtins option instead. | |
104 | - a new -extract_macros command line action to help the parser. Works with | |
105 | the -macro_file option. e.g. | |
106 | $ ./spatch -extract_macros ~/linux > /tmp/alldefs.h | |
107 | $ ./spatch -macro_file /tmp/alldefs.h -sp_file foo.cocci -dir ~/linux | |
108 | - removed -D macro_file option, not consistent with what -D usually means | |
109 | - reattempt to be more efficient for statement metavariables that are just | |
110 | placeholders (ie, no modification, no reuse) | |
111 | - triples now returned from ctl in sorted order. The main key is the | |
112 | state. On the other hand, the state order does not always agree with the | |
113 | order of appearance in the code. | |
114 | - spatch is now less verbose on the things it does yet handle. Less confusing | |
115 | for new users. | |
116 | - slightly better error report. Thanks to Derek Jones for the suggestion. | |
117 | - added the options -linux_spacing and -smpl_spacing. -linux_spacing | |
118 | causes spatch to follow the spacing conventions of Linux, while | |
119 | -smpl_spacing causes spatch to follow the spacing in the semantic patch. | |
120 | -linux_spacing is the default. | |
121 | - more informative error reporting for the already tagged token case. | |
122 | Thanks to Erik Hovland for the suggestion. | |
123 | ||
124 | ** Bugfix: | |
125 | - better parsing of declare macro at toplevel and in structure. | |
126 | cf -text xfield | |
127 | - allowing back typedef names for fieldname | |
128 | - better printing of else in generated code | |
129 | - slightly better type inference for binary operators. | |
130 | - clear out declarer names and iterator names between SmPL files (for | |
131 | -testall) | |
132 | - better parsing and type checking of macro type aliases. Cf -test macro_int16. | |
133 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
134 | - make insert_virtual_positions tail rec, avoid stack overflow pb. | |
135 | Thanks to Diego Liziero <diegoliz@gmail.com> for pointing out the | |
136 | problem. | |
137 | - Better type inference for arithmetic binary operators | |
138 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
139 | - Better type inference for constants | |
140 | Thanks to Li Yingtong for pointing out the problem. | |
141 | - move computing of adjacency information for semantic patches to after | |
142 | application of isomorphisms, because isomorphisms can introduce "..." | |
143 | - compute adjacency information for negated ... | |
144 | - record with each transformation site the set of indices of the witness | |
145 | trees that caused the transformation site to come about. Whitespace and | |
146 | comments between remove tokens associated with disjoint witness trees is | |
147 | not removed. | |
148 | - correct treatment of function pointer typed parameters in the SmPL ast0 | |
149 | visitor. | |
150 | - better parsing error message and error recovery when comments are not ended, | |
151 | when some macros have a weird body, and when some switch have a weird | |
152 | Body. | |
153 | Thanks to Derek Jones for pointing out the problem. | |
154 | - better detection and passing of "dangerous" ifdefs, cf -test | |
155 | double_switch. | |
156 | - dropped the separation of decls and body in Seq. This gives better | |
157 | positioning of the bindings of metavariables shared between them. | |
158 | Thanks to Erik Hovland for an example that shows the problem. | |
159 | ||
160 | ** Internals: | |
161 | - supress warning in compiling ocamlsexp (warning caused by a new behavior | |
162 | of cpp used internally in processing files in ocamlsexp/) | |

b1b2de81 C |
164 | * 0.1.7 |
165 | ||
166 | ** Language: | |
167 | - initialize and finalize script code, cf demos/initial_final.cocci | |
168 | ||
169 | ** Features: | |
170 | - -iso_limit option to limit the depth of isomorphism application | |
171 | - with the dir option, the include path is implicitly set to the "include" | |
172 | subdirectory of the specified directory, if the option -I is not used. | |
173 | - give a seed for the name of a fresh identifier | |
174 | - better handling of cpp "constructed" identifiers as in a##b, that in | |
175 | the futur will make it easier to match over those idents. | |
176 | cf tests/pb_parsing_macro.c. Thanks to Ali-Erdem Ozcan for pointing | |
177 | out the problem. A new "parsing hack hint" is also available: | |
178 | YACFE_IDENT_BUILDER, cf standard.h. | |
179 | ||
180 | ** Bugfix: | |
181 | - drop excessive "optimization" in ctl generation for while and for loops | |
182 | - allow . as the name of the directory | |
183 | - for type inference for an assignment, take the type of the right-hand | |
184 | side expression, not the type of the assigned variable | |
185 | - allow for with a declartion in the first header element, as in C++ | |
186 | (partial support) | |
187 | - allow for matching against variable declarations that include only | |
188 | storage, eg static, but no type at all. | |
189 | - allow for matching against types that contain both short/long and int | |
190 | - allow the type metavariable in the SmPL code "unsigned T" to match a T | |
191 | that is a type consisting of more than one word, eg long int. | |
192 | - -ifdef_to_if option made to process nested ifdefs | |
193 | (partial support) | |
194 | ||
195 | ** Internals: | |
196 | - improve and fix installation process (usable on BSD) | |
197 | - improve and fix testing process | |
198 | - apply patches from Eugeniy Meshcheryakov | |
199 | - reorganize the way we parse C identifiers, especially concatenated cpp | |
200 | identifiers as in a##b. This may lead to some regressions as we may | |
201 | not parse as much code as before. | |
202 | - removed popl/ and popl09/ and popl related stuff from official distrib. | |

b1b2de81 C |
206 | ** Language: |
207 | - the ability to add comments | |

113803cf | 209 | ** Features: |
0708f913 C |
210 | - grouping of generated rules with -hrule option |
211 | - handling of special coccinelle comments | |
212 | /* {{coccinelle:skip_start}} */ and | |
213 | /* {{coccinelle:skip_end}} */ | |
214 | allowing to give more hints to the C parser. | |
215 | Thanks to Flavien@lebarbe.net for the idea. | |
0708f913 C |
216 | - the ability to print the values of more (but not all) kinds of |
217 | metavariables from python | |
218 | - new vim SmPL mode. | |
219 | Thanks to Alexander Faroy. | |
220 | ||
221 | ** Bugfix: | |
222 | - consider the ident tokens also in the 2 lines before the error line for the | |
223 | 10-most-problematic-parsing-errors diagnostic. | |
224 | - SmPL parser allows cast as the argument of a pointer | |
225 | - SmPL type checker allows enum as an array index | |
226 | - Better generation of fresh metavariables names in hrule | |

285 | ||
286 | ** Internals: | |
287 | - isomorphisms don't apply under signed/unsigned, to prevent the creation | |
288 | of things like unsigned signed int. Need a better solution for this. | |
