[cfe-dev] overwrite rewritten text

[Kihong Heo via cfe-dev]

My intention is to transform the input source code. But this transformation is not pre-defined but dynamic. I first apply some transformation (here, adding some statement); check its correctness with an off-the-shelf checker; it is wrong then I want to roll back. Is there any systematic way to do that?

Thanks,
Kihong
