Subject: [RFC] Referencing local variables with SmPL?
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 08:38:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0562677e-2811-4ccb-bcd5-b00583724612@web.de> (raw)

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
