[cocci] Adjustments for first statements from selected function implementations?

Hello!

A contribution like the following shows how a statement can occasionally be added
to the beginning of a function implementation.

Such an adjustment triggers further opportunities for corresponding collateral evolution.
The semantic patch language can help in the determination to some degree
if the mentioned statement is still specified before a call of the known function
at other source code places.
A desire can evolve then to omit repeated statements before more selected function calls.

Usual case distinctions trigger further development challenges.

* How would you prefer to manage function names (for SmPL scripts)?

* Several inline function implementations are also stored in header files.
  Some header files tend to provide contents which are not really supported
  by the Coccinelle software so far.


Would you be looking then for further possibilities with improving affected
data processing?
