Hi Julia,

I noticed that drivers/hwmon/gl518sm.c was not converted. Running your script
on it does not do anything. Any idea what might cause that ?

I noticed that I get a warning if I specify a debug file:

File "devattr-new.cocci", line 36, characters 5-6:
Warning 26: unused variable x.

but that seems to have no impact and is always seen. I think it is caused
by the following.

...

@script:ocaml@
x << d.x; <====
show << o.show;
store << o.store;
@@

if (not(show = "NULL") && Hashtbl.mem taken show) ||
(not(store = "NULL") && Hashtbl.mem taken store)
then Coccilib.include_match false
else (Hashtbl.add taken show (); Hashtbl.add taken store ())

...

How does one specify indentation preferences ? Also, how do I generate
an actual patch (instead of getting the output on screen) ?
Sorry for the maybe dumb questions ;-).

Thanks,
Guenter
