Dear Julia,

thanks for the quick response!

I'll be waiting for Coccinelle-sided developments then.

May I ask what would you recommend now to circumvent this ?

e.g. ignore pragma lines as they were comments.

So the best what comes to my mind is to:

 - comment #pragma lines
 - compute semantic patch
 - apply   semantic patch
 - uncomment #pragma lines

If there is any better solution, please let me know.

Thanks,
Michele
