Wrong Section?! Posted Jan 22, 2009 19:34 UTC (Thu) by egoforth (guest, #2351) [Link] I wonder why is this article published under Kernel section?!I would posit that it's because this is the Kernel development section, and there has already been a measured impact. The original goal of Coccinelle was to automate as much as possible the task of keeping device drivers up to date with the latest kernel interfaces. But the end result can do far more than that, including finding and fixing bugs and coding style irregularities. Over 180 patches created using Coccinelle have been accepted into the Linux kernel to date.
