CCANLINT(1)
===========
:doctype: manpage
NAME
----
ccanlint - Make CCAN code modules, and the brightness up.
SYNOPSIS
--------
*ccanlint* ['OPTIONS'] ['DIRECTORY'...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
No encoder? No need to *ccanlint*. You programmer? Excited to *ccanlint*!
CCAN module is small code of the song. *ccanlint* full CCAN testing
tool. Each test spray bit of wisdom. Also score. Good score good.
Bad bad score.
*ccanlint* expect the source code in this directory, or command line can be
more than one. Exit 0 happy if all modules all tests happy.
OPTIONS
-------
*-v, --verbose*::
Make *ccanlint* talkative. "-vv" doing very talkative. "-vvvv" make stupid talker.
*-n, --safe-mode*::
Do not compile anything. Could it be safer for the bad code, but *ccanlint*
sad useless.
*-l, --list-tests*::
Tests show *ccanlint* can do. Then die happy.
*--test-dep-graph*::
Chart of all parties *ccanlint* tests 'dot(1)' Graphviz, then die happy.
*-k, --keep*::
*ccanlint* normally make mess temporary directory, but now it later in
forensic.
*-s, --summary*::
*ccanlint* just realized there is no message unless you die horrible.
*-x, --exclude*='TESTNAME'::
No test run. Can the use of time many, many do *ccanlint* very, very quickly.
Often hatred 'tests_run_valgrind' that the test slowed.
*--timeout*='MILLISECONDS'::
Stop the test and forget it if you take too long. Generally, the same works as
'-x tests_run_valgrind'.
*-t, --target*='TESTNAME'::
Do not run all tests. Run this test, and the proof you need. Used many times
for many tests.
*--compiler*='COMPILER'::
*ccanlint* read config.h about finding 'CCAN_COMPILER'. Otherwise use the default
when it was built. The change, to use this compiler.
*--cflags*='CFLAGS'::
Set compiler options to compile. Be sure to protect spaces shell hunger.
TESTS
-----
*ccanlint* many tests. Each test will score soon. Not total score for
each test unless stupid module or no life. Worry if little or low
score score after hacking.
If test break, but not repair, or maybe the dumb test, put the magic
lines '_info' file like this. *ccanlint* to score from 0 of 1 for
test, but happy:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ccanlint:
* // Test module foolish for me great!
* info_documentation_exists FAIL
* // Error for the file may be only
* tests_pass_valgrind_noleaks run-mytest.c:FAIL
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*info_exists*::
CCAN module must have '_info' file describing. No this score is 0.
However, *ccanlint* question may help to write one.
*depends_exist*::
'_info' file CCAN other module without saying, must find. It is not score 0.
*objects_build*::
All build purposes '.c' in the top dir. Not score 0.
*module_builds*::
Link to all objects in an object module. Not score 0.
*depends_accurate*::
Include other CCAN modules, we must say we need to '_info' depends.
Only one thing allows different, you can use 'ccan/tap' for testing anyway.
*depends_build*::
We try to generate the CCAN module you need.
*examples_exist*::
Rather hope that the comments in the header, and '_info'. An
example of the section in each, please! Maybe more, *ccanlint* very
happy morning.
*examples_relevant*::
Example, do not cut and paste away! You say the name of the thing in
the example or *ccanlint* unhappy.
*hash_if*::
Module wants *ccanlint* 'config.h' "#define HAVE_FEATURE" for all
feature. Function test "#if HAVE_FEATURE" no "#ifdef HAVE_FEATURE"
because user might not know about the role at all. Intelligent GCC
flag '-Wundef' say HAVE_FEATURE not 0, not 1! but only if the
use of '#if'.
*info_documentation_exists*::
'_info' file format is pretty comments. Copying someone. It is not difficult
write documentation!
*info_summary_single_line*::
Comments from a top line often describe the function or macro. '_info' comment
top line describes complete module. Characteristics make you scream!
*license_exists*::
The lawyers eat me. '_info' have 'License:' in the observation and LICENSE
file there. In general, is the link: *ccanlint* offer create a link, if they
know 'License:'.
*license_comment*::
Attorney everywhere. Please put a comment saying something like "GPL
Version 4. Read LICENSE." in all source files in the directory.
*license_file_compat*::
Do not lie about the license! *ccanlint* search files, see the license
of another, angry here.
*license_depends_compat*::
Hostile to BSD license module, but requires another module of the GPL.
Perhaps poor encoder think all BSD code, unloading and damage
attorney stick! Ay ay!
*main_header_exists*::
*ccanlint* know the module name directory name. Expect the same name for
header.
*headers_idempotent*::
Good header '#include' many time happy. Rap header around easy.
*ccanlint* say it can fix too. Always work.
*main_header_compiles*::
Simple program '#include' main header compile.
*avoids_cpp_reserved*::
C\++ programmer to include code. Not like them anyway, maybe, but wrong
end your program, do mourn. Only main header compile C\++ and if
trying to compile C\++ module stupid to pieces.
*no_trailing_whitespace*::
Linux kernel programmers more, solve the problem for the space of
the final ban the line. Now all lots of hackers working to fix
it. Want to famous and Linux? Leave extra space too!
*examples_compile*::
*ccanlint* very smart! Take 'Example:' from a comment in the header and
'_info'. First try to compile anything. If not, add many
headers and maybe put inside the function. It does not work, adds
the latest example. If the last example has '...' try that maybe. Sometimes
too complicated! '-vv' or '--keep' to see why it broke. Or maybe
bad example *ccanlint* says wow!
*examples_run*::
If the example program that comments like '// given foo outputs bar'
*ccanlint* will run the food program 'foo' in the command line and
standard input. Happy if 'bar' are out. You can do ' or " about
the production or determined. You can also 'output contains' more
relaxed controls.
*module_links*::
CCAN link to the program module simply no error.
*objects_build_with_stringchecks*::
Module 'ccan/str' is super difficult to detect errors debugging chain.
*ccanlint* use with the module and see break!
*tests_exist*::
You have CCAN module directory called 'test'. You have proof
here. If there is no proof, *ccanlint* still offer make proof for
you.
*tests_compile*::
In 'test' which has four such tests, start with different
name. 'run' compile the test files, but no link to the module, you
'#include' to get the bits of the module. 'api' test compile and
link with the module. 'compile-ok' as 'run' but only build.
'compile-fail' compile, but when 'FAIL' set has to break or
alert. This good for module supposed to warn.
*test_helpers_compile*::
Other files 'test'? Compilation of links to all tests. Ask for help.
*tests_pass*::
'run' and 'api' test happy departure. If not happy, offer debugger.
*tests_pass_valgrind*::
*valgrind* the tool of all 'run' and 'api' slow test. However, we
found many errors! If *valgrind* test rest, '_info' have *ccanlint* section,
make "tests_pass_valgrind TESTNAME:FAIL". If required
valgrind additional option, "tests_pass_valgrind TESTNAME:--option".
*tests_pass_valgrind_noleaks*::
*valgrind* complain if the memory leak test. '_info' can also be disabled.
*tests_compile_coverage*::
Compile 'run', 'api' test coverage. Fun if not here!
*tests_coverage*::
Run tests again, find lines that never try! Half of the lines 1
point 3/4 getting 2 points. Limit of 5 points, but the extra point
for all lines of evidence. Not win unless the module silly or use
gimmick 'ccan/failtest'.
*reduce_features*::
Code use 'HAVE_FEATURE' make special config.h turned off. Not
stupid like HAVE_BIG_ENDIAN though!
*depends_build_without_features*::
Make modules CCAN need. config.h but not more features.
*objects_build_without_features*::
Make the module again, but not more features.
*tests_helpers_compile_without_features*::
Helpers do try again, but not more features.
*tests_compile_without_features*::
Collect the tests again, but not more features.
*tests_pass_without_features*:
Run tests again, but not more features.
