On the Origins of Coccinelle
Abstract
Coccinelle is a program-transformation system for C code. It has been under development since 2005 and has been extensively used on the Linux kernel. The design of Coccinelle was inspired in part by the author’s previous experience in using Stratego/XT, developed by Eelco Visser. This paper reflects on some of Coccinelle’s design choices and their relation to Eelco Visser’s work.
