Coccinelle is a static code analysis program. It uses a semantic patch language which resembles unified diff output. The semantic patches may inline python or ocaml code for more advanced use cases.
A coccinelle patch file consists of multiple blocks. Example block header:
@ name @
Expression var1;
Expression var2;
@@
The block header may contain variable definitions. It may also contain required matches or non-matches in previous blocks. Examples for blocks with required previous matches:
@ b2 depends on name @
@@
@ b3 depends on name && !b2 @
@@
Variables inside a block can also reference matches from previous blocks.
@ b2 depends on name @
Expression name.var1;
@@
var1 inside this block will be the match from the name
block.
