    Might want to link to some examples, e. g. https://gitlab.inria.fr/coccinelle/coccinelleforrust/-/blob/main/docs/Getting Started.md?ref_type=heads

    I didn’t really understand the usecase till I saw that^

      Thanks for the link.

      It would be interesting, whether this handles macro-expansion as well (I doubt that, haven’t looked into detail yet though).

      The page is written as if there’s more to come (“This is not the correct patch, but we will come to that”), but I don’t see any further pages. Is this explaination unfinished or did I just miss where it continues? (I’m not used to Gitlab.)

        The original © Cocinelle page may have better use cases. Cocinelle for Rust is in the early stages, Cocinelle for C has been around for a long time.

        • Semantic patches (a simple example)

        • Impact on the Linux kernel (case study)

        Hello! I do not think the docs are ready for viewing yet. You should instead check out talks/lpc23.pdf and https://rust-for-linux.com/coccinelle-for-rust

Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn’t the right place to ask questions such as “What language should I use for X”, “what language should I learn”, and “what’s your favorite language”. Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

  • “Check out this new language I’ve been working on!”
  • “Here’s a blog post on how I implemented static type checking into this compiler”
  • “I want to write a compiler, where do I start?”
  • “How does the Java compiler work? How does it handle forward declarations/imports/targeting multiple platforms/<other tricky feature>?”
  • “How should I test my compiler? How are other compilers and interpreters like gcc, Java, and python tested?”
  • “What are the pros/cons of <language feature>?”
  • “Compare and contrast <language feature> vs. <other feature>”
  • “Confused about the semantics of this language”
  • “Proceedings from PLDI / OOPSLA / ICFP / <other large programming conference>”

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples
