Hi Julia.
Would it be possible for a semantic patch to scan for function definitions where the types do not have identifiers and update the definitions to match the declarations?
For instance, given:
<some.h> int foo(int);
<some.c> int foo(int bar) { return baz; }
Could coccinelle output:
diff a/some.h b/some.h [] -int foo(int); +int foo(int bar);
