Re: [cocci] Reconsidering source code search challenges for nested compound statements

> * How should the data processing be improved in more desirable ways?

I constructed another source file example together with a corresponding SmPL script.


void my_test(void)
{
 int item;

 if (1)
 {
    item = 1;
 }

 item = 2;
}


@display@
@@
 if (...)
*{ item = 1; }
*item = 2;


Test result:

Can it be achieved that the source code search pattern will work also
after the omission of the filter “if (...)”?
