Will it become possible to specify alternative paths for such temporary work directories? Further update suggestions: * When will the parameter "parse-handler" be described also in the documentation source file "spatch_options.tex"? * Would you like to fix another dangling link for the topic "Tips and Tricks"? http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/docs/main_grammar015.html Regards, Markus
