I am used to this possibility for years. > Each changelog needs to explain the rationale behind the change. I hope to achieve higher confidence also around specific checks for return values of Linux functions so that unwanted misunderstandings can be avoided for mentioned implementation details. > As for coccinelle - I cannot help you.
