When running cocci in report mode, eg:
$make coccicheck M="$dir" MODE=report

It returns this error:
virtual rule report not supported
coccicheck failed
make: *** [Makefile:251: __sub-make] Error 2

Create a dummy rule to avoid this error and run the other cocci scripts.

I just checked on 6.16rc1 and it is still failing.

Could we land this while Mark's series is under review?

Thanks!

Can you provide a pointer to Mark's series? I actually just implemented a proper report and context mode
which I'm glad to send out.

My bad, it was your series:

I hope that more collateral evolution will happen because of such information.

Please add proper support for operation modes around discussed source code analysis approaches.
Will it be more helpful to work with function calls like the following?

‣ coccilib.org.print_todo(p[0], "WARNING: opportunity for …")
‣ coccilib.report.print_report(p[0], "WARNING: opportunity for …")

My main concern is to fix the CI that was broken when this semantic
patch was introduced.

I am sure that a person more capable on cocci patches can implement
the report mode in a follow-up patch.

I prefer to avoid a temporary workaround when a more useful solution
is actually simple.

Thanks for the patch :)

Markus, this is not helpful. Either provide a fully working example or 
stop nitpicking useful patches for projects you don't maintain.

I got an other impression


> Either provide a fully working example

I contributed some demonstrations for selected data processing approaches.


> or stop nitpicking useful patches for projects you don't maintain.
I hope that some information can be picked up in constructive ways also from my patch reviews.
