/* This file contains parsing hacks for Coccinelle (spatch), to make it happy with some of our more complex
 * macros - it is intended to be used with the --macro-file-builtins option for spatch.
 *
 * Coccinelle's macro support is somewhat limited and the parser trips over some of our more complex macros.
 * In most cases this doesn't really matter, as the parsing errors are silently ignored, but there are
 * special cases in which the parser incorrectly infers information that then causes issues in valid code
 * later down the line.
 *
 * Inspired by a similarly named file [0] from the Coccinelle sources, and the original builtin macros [1].

/* Coccinelle really doesn't like our way of registering unit test cases, and incorrectly assumes that "id"
 * from TEST(id) is the actual function identifier. This then causes name conflicts, since the unit tests
 * are usually named after the functions they test.
 *
 * For example, a unit test for xsetxattr() is defined using TEST(xsetxattr), which eventually yields a
 * procedure with following declaration:
 *
 *      static const void test_xsetxattr(void);
 *
 * However, Coccinelle fails to parse the chain of macros behind TEST(x) and assumes the test function is
 * named "xsetxattr", which then causes a name conflict when the actual "xsetxattr" function is called:
 *
 * (ONCE) SEMANTIC:parameter name omitted, but I continue
 * Warning: PARSING: src/test/test-xattr-util.c:57: type defaults to 'int'; ...
 * ERROR-RECOV: found sync '}' at line 127
 * Parsing pass2: try again

 * Badcount: 40
 *
 * The easy way out here is to just provide a simplified version of the TEST(x) macro that pinpoints the most
 * important detail - that the actual function name is prefixed with test_.
 *
 * FIXME: even with this Coccinelle still fails to process TEST(x) instances where x is a keyword, e.g.
 *        TEST(float), TEST(default), ...
