[Cocci] a small nuisance report

[Robert Larice]

Hello,

attached is a small example which
injects a statement and a comment.

It works well, but does'nt do exactly as wanted.

I get :

+ j /* comments are overrated */
+ -= 3;

The comment popped up within the expression instead
of in front of it.
no bug, but uggly.

Regards,
Robert

This problem is solve in the github version of Coccinelle. The problem
was because j was declared as a symbol.

Thank You,

so I could work around by simply using an "identifier"
perhaps augmented with a regexp match.

Best Regards,

No, just pull from github and recompile.
