Coccinelle was initially targeted towards performing +collateral evolutions in Linux. Such evolutions comprise the changes that are +needed in client code in response to evolutions in library APIs, and may +include modifications such as renaming a function, adding a function argument +whose value is somehow context-dependent, and reorganizing a data +structure. Beyond collateral evolutions, Coccinelle is successfully used (by us +and others) for finding and fixing bugs in systems code. + +WWW: http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ |
