Dear Julia,

Thanks for your software update.

1. How do you think about to correct a dangling link on your download page?
   https://software.opensuse.org/package/coccinelle/
  
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=openSUSE%3A13.2&package=coccinelle

2. Would you like to mention the parameter "parse-handler" (addition in
the previous release) also in the documentation source file
"spatch_options.tex"?

Regards,
Markus

Dear Julia,

I am curious on a bit more background information for improvements you
did not explicitly mention in the release notes here.
Who did update the build files like "configure.ac" and "commons/Makefile"?

We have got a few difficulties in the past to find someone for further
consideration of my proposed corrections around the affected build scripts.
Did the expertise concerns change a bit in the meantime?

I find that it would also be nice to mention such adjustments in the
release notes, wouldn't it?

I get an other impression. I see still a misplaced backslash character in an URL.

I have tried another configuration variant out with the command "./configure --enable-release --enable-ocamlbuild".
The corresponding software build was quickly interrupted.

Would you like to improve this situation?

[Cocci] 1.0.0-rc23 release - Menhir updates

[SF Markus Elfring]

> - Some parsing and pretty printing improvements.

Dear Julia,

I have installed the current parser generator "Menhir 20141215"
on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system a moment ago.

The corresponding build works a bit longer for your software
when I try a configuration variant out with the simple command
"./configure --enable-release".
Unfortunately, I stumble on another surprise then.

elfring at Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/1.0.0-rc23> LANG=C make all             
...
/usr/bin/ocamlopt.opt -unsafe -I ../commons -I ../commons/ocamlextra -I ../globals -I /usr/lib64/ocaml/menhirLib -c parser_cocci_menhir.ml
File "parser_cocci_menhir.ml", line 1879, characters 8-321:
Error: The record field MenhirLib.EngineTypes.stack is not mutable
Makefile:126: recipe for target 'parser_cocci_menhir.cmx' failed
make[6]: *** [parser_cocci_menhir.cmx] Error 2
make[6]: Leaving directory '/home/elfring/Projekte/Coccinelle/1.0.0-rc23/parsing_cocci'
Makefile:82: recipe for target 'all.opt' failed
...

How should this implementation detail be resolved?

Do I need to reuse an older Menhir software library here?

Markus

I haven't tried the new version of menhir.  Thanks for the warning.
Perhaps you can use the old version for the moment.

I have no idea what this relates to.  What are the files that are objected
to?

I am curious how much source tree hygiene will matter here.


> What are the files that are objected to?

elfring at Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/1.0.0-rc23> cat _build/sanitize.sh
#!/bin/sh
# File generated by ocamlbuild

cd /home/elfring/Projekte/Coccinelle/1.0.0-rc23

rm -f bundles/pycaml/chemoelectric-pycaml-8614105/pycaml.o
rm -f ctl/ctl.a
rm -f ctl/ctl.cmxa
# Also clean the script itself
rm -f /home/elfring/Projekte/Coccinelle/1.0.0-rc23/_build/sanitize.sh

Now I am curious when your software will work together with this one again.

I can reuse source files from the archive "menhir-20130911.tar.gz"
(for example) for a while.

I guess that dependency management will become more interesting
for corresponding software packages, won't it?

Markus
