Describe the bug As also noted in the original Smatch repo issues, the Smatch score gives wrong and unverifiable results. This is also the case for HanLP.

Code to reproduce the issue

python

s = """(r / result-01

System information

  • Linux Ubuntu 16.04
  • Python version: 3.8
  • HanLP version: current

Other info / logs Not necessary. The problem is simply because using a hill-climber for graph matching is unsafe and intransparent, and lacks any upper-bound on the solution. This gets worse when graphs get more large than before, but can also occur on smaller graphs. A more detailed empirical study of the problem can be found here.
