|
|
.Nd check for some common stylistic errors in C source files
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl chpvCP
|
|
.Op Fl o Ar construct Ns Op , Ns Ar construct Ns …
|
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
inspects C source files (*.c and *.h) for common stylistic errors.
|
|
It attempts to check for the cstyle documented in
|
|
.Lk http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~lee/06cse480/data/cstyle.ms.pdf .
|
|
Note that there is much in that document that
|
|
.Em cannot
|
|
be checked for; just because your code is
|
|
.Nm Ns -clean
|
|
does not mean that you've followed Sun's C style.
|
|
.Em Caveat emptor .
|
|
.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-c"
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Check continuation line indentation inside of functions.
|
|
Sun's C style
|
|
states that all statements must be indented to an appropriate tab stop,
|
|
and any continuation lines after them must be indented
|
|
.Em exactly
|
|
four spaces from the start line.
|
|
This option enables a series of checks designed to find
|
|
continuation line problems within functions only.
|
|
The checks have some limitations; see
|
|
.Sy CONTINUATION CHECKING ,
|
|
below.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Performs heuristic checks that are sometimes wrong.
|
|
Not generally used.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Performs some of the more picky checks.
|
|
Includes ANSI
|
|
.Sy #else
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy #endif
|
|
rules, and tries to detect spaces after casts.
|
|
Used as part of the putback checks.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Verbose output; includes the text of the line of error, and, for
|
|
.Fl c ,
|
|
the first statement in the current continuation block.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Ignore errors in header comments (i.e. block comments starting in the
|
|
first column).
|
|
Not generally used.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Check for use of non-POSIX types.
|
|
Historically, types like
|
|
.Sy u_int
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy u_long
|
|
were used, but they are now deprecated in favor of the POSIX
|
|
types
|
|
.Sy uint_t ,
|
|
.Sy ulong_t ,
|
|
etc.
|
|
This detects any use of the deprecated types.
|
|
Used as part of the putback checks.

|
.It Fl o Ar construct Ns Op , Ns Ar construct Ns …
|

Available constructs include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -width "doxygen"
|
|
.It Sy doxygen
|
|
Allow doxygen-style block comments
|
|
.Pq Sy /** No and Sy /*!\& .
|
|
.It Sy splint
|
|
Allow splint-style lint comments
|
|
.Pq Sy /*@...@*/ .

.Sh CONTINUATION CHECKING
|
|
The continuation checker is a reasonably simple state machine that knows
|
|
something about how C is laid out, and can match parenthesis, etc. over
|
|
multiple lines.
|
|
It does have some limitations:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Preprocessor macros which cause unmatched parenthesis will confuse the
|
|
checker for that line.
|
|
To fix this, you'll need to make sure that each branch of the
|
|
.Sy #if
|
|
statement has balanced parenthesis.
|
|
.It
|
|
Some
|
|
.Xr cpp 1
|
|
macros do not require \fB;\fPs after them.
|
|
Any such macros
|
|
.Em must
|
|
be ALL_CAPS; any lower case letters will cause bad output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The bad output will generally be corrected after the next \fB;\fP,
|
|
.Sy { ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Sy } .
|
|
.El
|
|
Some continuation error messages deserve some additional explanation:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Sy multiple statements continued over multiple lines
|
|
A multi-line statement which is not broken at statement boundaries.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable) a =
|
|
b + c;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will trigger this error.
|
|
Instead, do:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable)
|
|
a = b + c;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Sy empty if/for/while body not on its own line
|
|
For visibility, empty bodies for if, for, and while statements should be
|
|
on their own line.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
while (do_something(&x) == 0);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will trigger this error.
|
|
Instead, do:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
while (do_something(&x) == 0)
|
|
;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.El
