Add a coccinelle script to look for {inc,dec}rements in log_debug
We want to forbid this pattern since, unlike the other log_*()
macros, log_debug() conditionally evaluates its arguments only if
debug-level logging is enabled. Thus, a call to
log_debug("%d", x++);
will only increment x if debugging logs are enabled, which is
probably not what the programmer intended.
One bug caused by this pattern was #30628.
This script detects log_debug( ) calls with any of E++, E--, ++E,
or --E in their arguments, where E is an arbitrary expression.
Closes ticket 30743.

o Minor features (maintenance scripts):
|

- Add a coccinelle script to detect bugs caused by incrementing or
|
||||
decrementing a variable inside a call to log_debug(). Since
|
||||
log_debug() is a macro whose arguments are conditionally evaluated, it
|
||||
is usually an error to do this. One such bug was 30628, in which SENDME
|
||||
cells were miscounted by a decrement operator inside a log_debug()
|
||||
call. Closes ticket 30743.
