[PATCH v2] Coccinelle: noderef: Add a rule and correct the old rule

From: Vaishali Thakkar
Date: Mon May 09 2016 - 08:36:27 EST


Add a new rule to detect the cases where sizeof is used as a
subexpression rather than a top level argument.

Also, for the patch mode third rule should behave same as
second rule with arguments reversed. So, change that as well.

Changes since v1:
- Declare i as an expression instead of identifier to
cover more cases
