.SH NAME
|
|
.I cstyle
|
|
\- check for some common stylistic errors in C source files
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBcstyle [-chpvCP] [-o constructs] [file...]\fP
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "OS-Net build tools" "cstyle" "" "\fBcstyle\fP"
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I cstyle
|
|
inspects C source files (*.c and *.h) for common sylistic errors. It
|
|
attempts to check for the cstyle documented in
|
|
\fIhttp://www.cis.upenn.edu/~lee/06cse480/data/cstyle.ms.pdf\fP.
|
|
Note that there is much in that document that
|
|
.I cannot
|
|
be checked for; just because your code is \fBcstyle(1)\fP clean does not
|
|
mean that you've followed Sun's C style. \fICaveat emptor\fP.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-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 \fIexactly\fP 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 CONTINUATION CHECKING, below.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-h
|
|
Performs heuristic checks that are sometimes wrong. Not generally used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
Performs some of the more picky checks. Includes ANSI #else and #endif
|
|
rules, and tries to detect spaces after casts. Used as part of the
|
|
putback checks.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Verbose output; includes the text of the line of error, and, for
|
|
\fB-c\fP, the first statement in the current continuation block.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
Ignore errors in header comments (i.e. block comments starting in the
|
|
first column). Not generally used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-P
|
|
Check for use of non-POSIX types. Historically, types like "u_int" and
|
|
"u_long" were used, but they are now deprecated in favor of the POSIX
|
|
types uint_t, ulong_t, etc. This detects any use of the deprecated
|
|
types. Used as part of the putback checks.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B \-o \fIconstructs\fP
|
|
Allow a comma-separated list of additional constructs. Available
|
|
constructs include:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B doxygen
|
|
Allow doxygen-style block comments (\fB/**\fP and \fB/*!\fP)
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B splint
|
|
Allow splint-style lint comments (\fB/*@...@*/\fP)
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
.LP
|
|
The cstyle rule for the OS/Net consolidation is that all new files must
|
|
be \fB-pP\fP clean. For existing files, the following invocations are
|
|
run against both the old and new files:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
\fBcstyle file\fB
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
\fBcstyle -p file\fB
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
\fBcstyle -pP file\fB
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the old file gave no errors for one of the invocations, the new file
|
|
must also give no errors. This way, files can only become more clean.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH CONTINUATION CHECKING
|
|
.LP
|
|
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:
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B 1.
|
|
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 #if statement has balanced parenthesis.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B 2.
|
|
Some \fBcpp\fP macros do not require ;s after them. Any such macros
|
|
*must* be ALL_CAPS; any lower case letters will cause bad output.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The bad output will generally be corrected after the next \fB;\fP,
|
|
\fB{\fP, or \fB}\fP.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Some continuation error messages deserve some additional explanation
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B
|
|
multiple statements continued over multiple lines
|
|
A multi-line statement which is not broken at statement
|
|
boundaries. For example:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.HP 4
|
|
if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable) a =
|
|
.br
|
|
b + c;
|
|
.LP
|
|
Will trigger this error. Instead, do:
|
|
.HP 8
|
|
if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable)
|
|
.br
|
|
a = b + c;
|
|
.RE
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.B
|
|
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:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.HP 4
|
|
while (do_something(&x) == 0);
|
|
.LP
|
|
Will trigger this error. Instead, do:
|
|
.HP 8
|
|
while (do_something(&x) == 0)
|
|
.br
|
|
;
