I'm not sure to understand the sense of the question. The semantic patch
explains exactly what considerations were used when making the
transformation. That is, any function call, having a call to
ARRAY_AND_SIZE as an argument is rewritten to replace the call to
ARRAY_AND_SIZE with the correspondingtwo arguments. The transformation
was performed entirely automatically, although in a lot of cases it was
necessary to add newlines afterwards.
