[PATCH 1/6] Coccinelle: atomic_as_refcounter: Omit placeholder specifications from two SmPL constraints

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Tue Jul 03 2018 - 03:36:03 EST


From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 16:33:46 +0200

A string was enclosed by placeholder specifications for
regular expressions as constraints for metavariables in a script
for the semantic patch language.
The desired search functionality can be achieved also without
the notation â.*â. Thus delete it.
