Hello, Declarations (and definitions) of local variables tend to be required for various control flows. https://en.cppreference.com/c/language/declarations
Function implementations can occasionally use multiple variables with different scopes. https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/322 Thus it seems to be challenging to refer to relevant data specifications in a consistent way for source code search and transformation approaches also by the means of the semantic patch language. How will corresponding development ideas evolve? Regards, Markus
