[PATCH 1/2] coccinelle: remove parentheses that become unnecessary

[PATCH 1/2] coccinelle: remove parentheses that become unnecessary

[René Scharfe]

Transformations that hide multiplications can end up with an pair of
parentheses that is no longer needed.  E.g. with a rule like this:

  @@
  expression E;
  @@
  - E * 2
  + double(E)

... we might get a patch like this:

  -	x = (a + b) * 2;
  +	x = double((a + b));

Add a pair of parentheses to the preimage side of such rules.
Coccinelle will generate patches that remove them if they are present,
and it will still match expressions that lack them.

[PATCH 2/2] run-command: use ALLOC_ARRAY

[René Scharfe]

Use the macro ALLOC_ARRAY to allocate an array.  This is shorter and
eaasier, as it automatically infers the size of elements.

Patch generated with Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.
