Subject: [PATCH 0/2] create FLEX_ALLOC_MEM to FLEX_ALLOC_STR cocci rule
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2019 15:00:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1554328261.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
I was playing around with coccinelle and I noticed that we have a use of
FLEX_ALLOC_MEM that could be converted into FLEX_ALLOC_STR. Convert it
and write a cocci rule to prevent this from happening.
Note that this was more of an exercise to teach myself how to use
coccinelle. I'm just submitting a useful patch that came as a result of
this. Please let me know if this is unwelcome.
