[PATCH 0/4] delete useless variable

These patches delete declarations and initializations of variables that are
only assigned to constants but never used otherwise.

The complete semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
type T;
identifier i,i2;
position p;
@@

T i@p;
... 
i = i2

@@
type r.T;
identifier r.i;
constant c;
position p != r.p;
@@

-T i@p;
<... when != i
-i = c;
...>
// </smpl>

From: Julia Lawall <redacted>

Delete a variable that is at most only assigned to a constant, but never
used otherwise.  In this code, it is the variable result that is used for
the return code, not rc.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
type T;
identifier i;
constant c;
@@

-T i;
<... when != i
-i = c;
...>
// </smpl>

I don't know whether the comment before the removed assignment should also
be adjusted.
