# This is a prologue that allows to run a perl script as an executable
# on systems that are compliant to a POSIX version before POSIX:2017.
# On such systems, the usual invocation of an executable through execlp()
# or execvp() fails with ENOEXEC if it is a script that does not start
# with a #! line.  The script interpreter mentioned in the #! line has
# to be /bin/sh, because on GuixSD systems that is the only program that
# has a fixed file name.  The second line is essential for perl and is
# also useful for editing this file in Emacs.  The next two lines below
# are valid code in both sh and perl.  When executed by sh, they re-execute
# the script through the perl program found in $PATH.  The '-x' option
# is essential as well; without it, perl would re-execute the script
# through /bin/sh.  When executed by perl, the next two lines are a no-op.

# The definition above must lie within the first 8 lines in order

Usage: $ME [OPTIONS] FILE...

Detect any instance in FILE of a useless "if" test before a free call, e.g.,
"if (p) free (p);".  Any such test may be safely removed without affecting
the semantics of the C code in FILE.  Use --name=FOO --name=BAR to also
detect free-like functions named FOO and BAR.

OPTIONS:

   --list       print only the name of each matching FILE (\\0-terminated)
   --name=N     add name N to the list of \'free\'-like functions to detect;
                  may be repeated

   --help       display this help and exit
   --version    output version information and exit

Exit status:

  0   one or more matches
  1   no match
  2   an error

EXAMPLE:

For example, this command prints all removable "if" tests before "free"
and "kfree" calls in the linux kernel sources:

    git ls-files -z |xargs -0 $ME --name=kfree

Be careful that the result of the above transformation is valid.
If the matched string is followed by "else", then obviously, it won't be.
