I have seen that [no loop is used around a call](https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian/blob/126e3e4bacf0677f774ed3ace5aea75799881c17/src/system/posix.cpp#L358) of the function "[pthread_cond_wait](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_cond_wait.html)". Would you like to reuse anything from my message on the topic "[spurious wakeup](http://groups.google.de/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/bb8299804652fdd7)"?

Would you like to add more error handling for return values from functions like the following? - [fseek](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fseek.html) ⇒ [readFile](https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian/blob/126e3e4bacf0677f774ed3ace5aea75799881c17/src/embed.cpp#L53) - [pthread_mutex_init](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_mutex_init.html) ⇒ [Thread constructor](https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian/blob/126e3e4bacf0677f774ed3ace5aea75799881c17/src/system/posix.cpp#L136)

Some character combinations have got a special meaning for the Comby software components. :thought_balloon: Thus I propose to [describe and support possibilities for escaping them](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character "Description for the usage of...

Checking the matching of white-space characters after a line break

I tried another search pattern out. ``` [Markus_Elfring@fedora lokal]$ printf 'else:\n X\n' | ./comby -stdin -diff -matcher .py 'else::[_\n]:[ ]X' Z ``` :thought_balloon: May I expect that such a command...

Some parameters can be passed to the program “comby”. :thought_balloon: I propose another software extension so that these data will become reusable as arguments for function calls by the Comby...

Fixing the reuse of named matches

I would like to increase [the usage of augmented assignment statements](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements "Augmented assignment statements") with the help of the program version 1.7.0. I hoped that a transformation approach (like the...

I would like to try a simple transformation out according to the program version 1.7.0 for [a bit of Python source code](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#printf-style-string-formatting "printf-style string formatting"). ``` [Markus_Elfring@fedora lokal]$ echo '"%s-text"...

Support hierarchical named matches

1

Some named matches are occasionally combined besides other characters for the handling of bigger data structures. The overall data selection would be matched then. I propose to connect another identifier...

Code rewriting should occasionally be performed at some places with several changes. Thus different software adjustments would belong together. Each adjustment depends on context information. Only when a selected context...

Selecting identifiers for change specifications

2

Changes are directly specified together with match operators for [rewrite expressions](https://github.com/comby-tools/comby.dev/blob/49b5e2f548bc758f4250e056ab435083da5bb753/website/docs/advanced-usage.md#rewrite-expressions "Rewrite expressions") so far. I suggest to connect such change specifications to identifiers. The identifiers can be reused then...
