Weirdness in parsing cpp macros

Weirdness in parsing cpp macros

[Ville Syrjälä]

Hi Julia et al,

In Linux drm/i915 driver (drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_pps.[ch])
we have a magic macro like this:

#define with_intel_pps_lock(dp, wf) \
        for ((wf) = intel_pps_lock(dp); (wf); (wf) = intel_pps_unlock((dp), (wf)))


which we can then use like so:
...
with_intel_pps_lock(intel_dp, wakeref)
	wait_panel_power_cycle(intel_dp);
...


If I try to modify this code with eg.

@@
@@
- wait_panel_power_cycle
+ _wait_panel_power_cycle

spatch fails to parse the macro and won't do the changes here.


While experimenting with this I discovered that
I can make it work by:
- moving the macro definition into intel_pps.c file from intel_pps.h
- renaming the macro to contain the substring "for" (doesn't matter
  where in the macro name the "for" appears)

What on earth is going on here?

Did you try declaring:

iterator name with_intel_pps_lock;

up with the metavariables?

Nope, didn't know about that one.

Seems to work fine with that. Thanks.

Okay, I have another one wrt macros. :)

I'm trying to add a completely new variadic macro, but it fails at
"...". I've tried all sorts of things, but can't seem to be able to add
a literal "...".

I've tested that my cocci patch works with x's:

+ #define fn(p, xxx) foo(__VA_ARGS__)

but when I try to make it actually variadic like:

+ #define fn(p, ...) foo(__VA_ARGS__)

it gives me error. Is there a way to escape? Even tried to use a fresh
identifier vararg = "..."; but cocci made them unique with numbering
"...0" and "...1" etc.

BR,
Jani.

Put 6 dots.  It's silly, but ... is a Coccinelle thing, so we had to use
something else.

I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work in the + side:

plus: parse error: 
  File "/tmp/tmp.clvvc812Qe", line 20, column 2, charpos = 254
  around = '#define fn(',
  whole content = + #define fn(p, ......) __fn(__to_intel_display(p), __VA_ARGS__)

BR,
Jani.

OK, maybe it doesn't work for macros.  I will take a look.

A patch is below.  I haven't tested it.  It's working its way through the
CI at the moment, but I'll be offline for the rest of the day, so I don't
think I will be able to make it public today.  But let me know if it
works.

In particular, I don't think it would work for matching or removals, but
it should work for additions.

Thanks for looking into it!

I'm afraid setting up an environment to try cocci patches is a bit too
involved for me right now.
