[Cocci] please help me with a "repetition"

[Robert Larice]

Hello,

probably a stupid question,
I'm failing to match something like this

+ int newvar;
i++; i++; ... any sequence of only "i++";
+ buckbear(42);

I don't succeed to express this "maximum length repetition"
in the mids of those two insertions.

Best Regards,
Robert

It's not completely straightforward. You could try:

@r1@
position p;
@@

i++;
i++;@p

@@
position p != r1.p;
@@

+ int newvar;
i++;@p

@r2@
position p;
@@

i++;@p
i++;

@@
position p != r2.p;
@@

i++;@p
+ buckbear(42);

Thank You very much,

your suggestion works perfectly well in my actual task.

I was trying something different,
very aproximately something like:
... when != i++;
+ int newvar;
i++;
and didn't get anywhere.

Thanks !

This should work for the first bunch of i++;'s, but not if there are
several of them.
