I see further software development possibilities of varying relevance
also for this script of the semantic patch language.
* The SmPL variables “lock_p”, “unlock_p” and “stop_p” could be declared
in a more succinct way just by listing them in the same statement.
* The source code search pattern can be too generic.
How do you think about to consider additional constraints
for safer data control flow analysis?
* Other operation modes might become helpful.
Regards,
Markus
