This is about unwanted reformatting of parameter lists due to the ___

impossible.

We can search for unwanted reformatting of parameter lists.  I think
grepping diffs for '^\+.*Error \*\*' should do the trick.  For the whole

I think what we actually want is to examine instances of this pattern to
figure out whether and how we want to transform them.  Perhaps:

        // The common case is a single definition of local_err with at most one
        // error_propagate_prepend() or error_propagate() on each control-flow
        // path. Instances of this case we convert with this script. Functions

For me, sounds a bit like "other things we don't convert".
Actually we convert other things too.

What other patterns of error propagation do we convert?

Something like in xen_block_device_destroy, why not? Otherwise, it's better to 
avoid
matching things like xen_block_device_destroy, not just warn them.
But I'd prefer to proceed now as is to fit into 5.0.. Too much time already
spent on this. So, I'm OK with your wording too.

Let's scratch "Instances of this case we convert with this script."

OK

Elsewhere, you use just rule.fn instead of fn = rule1.fn.  Any
particular reason for the difference?

I didn't find other way to ref check1.fn in next python rule. It just don't
work if I write here just rule1.fn.


With the ___ chaining hack, I doubt we still need "= rule1.fn" or
"rule1.fn".  If I replace "fn = rule1.fn" and "rule.fn" by just "fn"
everywhere, then apply the script to the complete tree, I get the same
result.

I think, it's more efficient to reuse names from previous rules. I think it 
should
work faster (more information, less extra matching).

Nope.  With my hacked up script (patch appended) Coccinelle is actually
*faster* for the .[ch] touched by this series: with your unmodified
script, it takes a bit over 12s on my box, with mine around 7s.  Output
is identical.

Never guess performance, always measure it :)

Hmm, whole tree results would be better proof


Two notes on my script:

* Unlike yours, it recognizes double-propagation in my test case.
     Discussed below.

* Its "several definitions of" warning includes positions.  That turned
     out to be useless, but I've been too lazy to take that out again.

This flags functions that have more than one declaration along any
control flow path.  It doesn't flag this one:

      void gnat(bool b, Error **errp)
      {
          if (b) {
              Error *local_err = NULL;

              error_propagate(errp, local_err);
          }
      }

The Coccinelle script does the right thing for this one regardless.

I'd prefer to have such functions flagged, too.  But spending time on
convincing Coccinelle to do it for me is not worthwhile; I can simply
search the diff produced by Coccinelle for deletions of declarations
that are not indented exactly four spaces.

But if we keep this rule, we should adjust its comment

      // Warn several Error * definitions.

because it sure suggests it also catches functions like the one I gave
above.

Hmm, yes.. We can write "Warn several Error * definitions in _one_
control flow (it's not so trivial to match _any_ case with several
definitions with coccinelle)" or something like this.

Ha, "trivial" reminds me of a story.  The math professor, after having
spent a good chunk of his lecture developing a proof on the blackboad
turns to the audience to explain why this little part doesn't require
proof with the words familiar to any math student "and this is trivial."
Pause, puzzled look...  "Is it trivial?"  Pause, storms out of the
lecture hall.  A minute or three pass.  Professor comes back beaming,
"it is trivial!", and proceeds with the proof.

My point is: it might be trivial with Coccinelle once you know how to do
it.  We don't.

Suggest "(can't figure out how to match several definitions regardless
of control flow)".

Wrong too, because I can:) for example, chaining two rules, catching the
positions of definition and check that they are different.. Or, some
cheating with python script.. That's why I wrote "not trivial",

So, most correct would be "(can't figure out how to simply match several 
definitions regardless
> of control flow)".

But again, coccinelle is for matching control flows, so its probably impossible 
to match such thing..

Hmm, we don't catch the example I used in review of v8:

        extern foo(int, Error **);
        extern bar(int, Error **);

        void frob(Error **errp)
        {
            Error *local_err = NULL;

            bar(arg + 1, &local_err);
            error_propagate(errp, local_err);
        }

I believe this is because rule1 does not match here.

Yes, rule1 wants at least one code flow with non-doubled propagation.


If I change the rule as follows, it catches the example:

To my mild surprise, it still doesn't find anything in our tree.

Should we decouple the previous rule from rule1, too?  I tested the
following on the whole tree:

I don't think so. Why to check what we are not going to convert? If we want
to check side things, it's better to do it in other coccinelle script..

Misunderstanding?  The rules are still chained together via the ___
hack, just not via function name, because that's unreliable and
redundant.

Strange.. Then, how can it match something not matched by rule1?

I think I got confused when I wrote the "Misunderstanding?" paragraph.

Let me try again.

First rule check2.

The common case is a at most one propagation to @errp along any control
flow path.  We trust your Coccinelle script to convert that alright.

Any other propagation to @errp I want to review.  Whether the script
attempts a conversion or not is unimportant, as long as it points me to
the function to review.

Rule rule1 matches functions that propagate to @errp once along at least
one control flow path.

Unchained from rule rule1, rule check2 flags any function that
propagates to @errp multiple times along any control flow path.

Chained to rule1, it flags only functions that also have a path with
single propagation.

In other words, the unchained rule flags *all* multi-propagations to
@errp, while the chained rule flags only the ones the script attempts to
convert.  The former is much more useful to me.

Now rule check1.  It flags functions with multiple declarations along
any control flow path.  Again, chaining it to rule1 restricts it to the
functions we attempt to convert.  Makes it less useful to me.  However,
because my desire to review multiple declarations in function we don't
attempt to convert is lower than my desire to review multiple
propagations to @errp in such functions, chaining check1 is tolerable
for me.  But why chain check1 if we don't chain check2?


OK, let's unchain them.

Logically, I want to inherit from rule1. So why not to stress it by inheriting
fn variable? It's just a correct thing to do.
And I hope it helps coccinelle to work more efficiently.

Hmm, seems like I forget to define ____ as symbol in my patch

Coccinelle defaults to symbol.

But for errp we saw warnings simetimes.

I believe it warns when you use rely on the symbol default while also
using it as something else in other rules.

Feel free to explicitly define it as symbol.

Ahmm.. it will break compilation?

Or, how will it work when _errp defined as meta variable is only in "+..." 
line? Should it be symbol instead, or just not defined?

Misunderstanding?  It's a diff between your .cocci and mine.

OK, I almost OK with it, the only thing I doubt a bit is the following:

We want to keep rule1.local_err inheritance to keep connection with
local_err definition.

Yes.

Interesting, when we have both rule1.fn and rule1.local_err inherited,
do we inherit them in separate (i.e. all possible combinations of fn
and local_err symbols from rule1) or do we inherit a pair, i.e. only
fn/local_err pairs, found by rule1? If the latter is correct, that
with your script we loss this pair inheritance, and go to all possible
combinations of fn and local_err from rule1, possibly adding some wrong
conversion (OK, you've checked that no such cases in current code tree).

The chaining "identifier rule1.FOO" is by name.  It's reliable only as
long as there is exactly one instance of the name.

We already discussed the case of the function name: if there are two
instances of foo(), and rule1 matches only one of them, then we
nevertheless apply the rules chained to rule1 to both.  Because that can
be wrong, you came up with the ___ trick, which chains reliably.

The same issue exists with the variable name: if there are two instances
of @local_err, and rule1 matches only one of them, then we nevertheless
apply the rules chained to rule1 to both.  Can also be wrong.

What are the conditions for "wrong"?

Because the ___ chaining is reliable, we know rule1 matched the
function, i.e. it has a parameter Error **errp, and it has a automatic
variable Error *local_err = NULL.

We're good as long as *all* identifiers @local_err in this function are
declared that way.  This seems quite likely.  It's not certain, though.

Since nested declarations of Error ** variables are rare, we can rely on
review to ensure we transform these functions correctly.

So, dropping inheritance in check-rules makes sence, as it may match
(and warn) more interesting cases.

But for other rules, I'd prefere to be safer, and explictly inherit all
actually inherited identifiers..

I still can't see what chaining by function name in addition to the ___
chaining buys us.

I'll check this thing soon. And resend today.


                                  Still, I feel, we'll never be
absolutely safe with coccinelle :)

Right, although this particular problem is not really Coccinelle's
fault.  Blindly treating all instances of a certain identifier in a
certain area the same regardless of how they are bound to declarations
is fundamentally unreliable, regardless of your actual tooling.


Yes, still interesting, can coccinelle do more smart inheritance to match
exactly same object... I think, I need to CC coccinelle mailing list
to the next version
