[Cocci] Mysterious parsing issue.

[itismohit@gmail.com (Mohit Gupta)]

Hi,

I am trying to parse this c file containing macros. ( C file and the macro file
is pasted below.)  This parses fine, if I uncomment the first line "STATIC int
abc;" 

If I uncomment the line but change the order so as to make the first line as "
INT funcf ARGS((char *));" . Then again it gives parsing issues.

Is the parsing supposed to be dependent on order of statements or preclusion of
another statement ? Are we looking at a potential bug ?

Kindly help. 

Thanks,Mohit

Command : spatch --parse-c simple.c --macro-file simple_macro

// simple.c :

//STATIC int abc;

INT funcf ARGS((char *));

char *g ARGS((char *));

INT funcf (char *c)
{
        return 1;
}

char *g (char *c)
{
        return "junk";
}


//end of simple.c

//simple_macro
#define ARGS(m)   m

#define STATIC static

#define INT int
//end of simple_macro


//parsing error :
