From a1087ef6abedf0bfd60e5e3fddf33192cb2c1325 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:54:18 +0100 Subject: scripts/coccinelle: update for compatability with Coccinelle 0.2.4 For doubleinit.cocci, Coccinelle 0.2.4 requires a comma after ... in a field list. Coccinelle also now behaves gracefully when a definition is provided for a virtual that doesn't exist, so there is no need for the semantic patch code to check for this case. Updated the documentation to reflect the fact that the best results will now be obtained with Coccinelle version 0.2.4 or later.
