[cocci] Checking SmPL support for two special expressions

Hello,

I constructed another SmPL script variant. It exported some data from
selected function implementations which were found in header files.
Data processing difficulties were detected then.

It seems that contents can usually be handled from such a file.

Markus_Elfring@Sonne:…/Projekte/Linux/next-analyses> /usr/bin/spatch --parse-c include/drm/drm_crtc.h
…
nb good = 1344,  nb bad = 0 =========> 100.00% good or passed


Two SmPL rules were generated accordingly.
Unfortunately, I am wondering about the following information.
Questionable test results (according to the software combination “Coccinelle 1.3.0”):

A)
@r26@
expression val;
@@
-( uint64_t ) * ( ( uint64_t * ) & val )
+I642U64(val)

Markus_Elfring@Sonne:…/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> /usr/bin/spatch --parse-cocci drm_crtc-I642U64-20251111.cocci
…
minus: parse error: 
  File "drm_crtc-I642U64-20251111.cocci", line 4, column 31, charpos = 56
  around = ')',
  whole content = -( uint64_t ) * ( ( uint64_t * ) & val )

B)
@r27@
expression val;
@@
-( int64_t ) * ( ( int64_t * ) & val )
+U642I64(val)

Markus_Elfring@Sonne:…/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> /usr/bin/spatch --parse-cocci drm_crtc-U642I64-20251111.cocci

  around = ')',
  whole content = -( int64_t ) * ( ( int64_t * ) & val )


Under which circumstances will such data processing become better supported?
