Is it just to change the cast name? In that case, what you are missing is probably the typedef declaration. You could say: @@ typedef PS802_11Header, newtype; expression e; @@ ( - PS802_11Header + newtype ) e You only need to declare a type using typedef once. It is remembered for subsequent rules. julia > > Semantic patch I could get done > $ cat test.cocci > @rule1@ > identifier h; > @@ > -PSEthernetHeader h; > +struct ethhdr * h; > > @rule2@ > identifier h; > @@ > -PS802_11Header h; > +struct ieee80211_hdr *h; > > @rule5@ > identifier h; > @@ > -SEthernetHeader h; > +struct ethhdr h; > > @rule6@ > identifier h; > @@ > -S802_11Header h; > +struct ieee80211_hdr h; > > @rule3@ > struct ethhdr *h; > @@ > ( > -h->abyDstAddr > +h->h_dest > | > -h->abySrcAddr > +h->h_source > | > -h->wType > +h->h_proto > ) > > @rule4@ > struct ieee80211_hdr *h; > @@ > ( > -h->wFrameCtl > +h->frame_control > | > -h->wDurationID > +h->duration_id > | > -h->abyAddr1 > +h->addr1 > | > -h->abyAddr2 > +h->addr2 > | > -h->abyAddr3 > +h->addr3 > | > -h->wSeqCtl > +h->seq_ctrl > | > -h->abyAddr4 > +h->addr4 > ) > > >
