Subject: [cocci] Reconsidering application of selected SmPL isomorphisms
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 14:16:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <434d257c-f0a5-483d-9fcb-3303301ad867@web.de> (raw)

Hello,

I would like to clarify software development consequences also for
a simple script variant for the semantic patch language (like the following).


@show_questionable_checks@
expression e1, e2;
statement s1, s2;
@@
 if
 (
*!(e1 || e2)
 )
    s1
 else
    s2


Questionable test result:
Markus_Elfring@Sonne:/home/altes_Heim2/elfring/Projekte/Coccinelle/janitor> spatch --parse-cocci show_questionable_OR_checks2.cocci
…
(

(

(
if (*!*(*e1 *|| *e2*))
|
if (*!*e1 *|| *e2)
)s1 else s2
|
…


I would interpret such data display in the way that the isomorphism “paren”
was applied here.
https://gitlab.inria.fr/coccinelle/coccinelle/-/blob/04f71e76b0857ca12ec7207b26368df78d2b57d4/standard.iso#L389

I find the shown SmPL code transformation inappropriate at this place.
Would we like to apply De Morgan's laws instead?

Would we like to reconsider the application of the isomorphism for the switching
of if/else branches accordingly?

Regards,
Markus
