The string exclusion would fail to detect `"bla" + wrong()`.
Also, remove /* */ comment exclusion, which would fail to detect stuff
like `/* bla */ wrong()`.
Instead, require the function to be called by adding \\( to the regex.
Finally, also remove the section in the dev notes, because:
* It was outdated and missing some functions such as std::to_string in
the list.
* The maintenance overhead of having to update two places is fragile and
questionable.
* Many other linters are also not mentioned in the dev notes, even
though they are important.
* A dev (and CI) is more likely to run the linters than to read the dev
notes.
* The dev notes are more than 1000 lines of dense information. It would
be easier to digest if they focused on the important stuff that is not
checked by automated tools.
Without this change linter produces errors about:
- Use of std::filesystem the libmultiprocess example program.
- Use of locale-dependent functions in example program, in the build time code
generator, and in the runtime library for debug logging.
- Include guards not beginning with BITCOIN_
that was resolved in PR27036 "test: Remove last uses of snprintf and simplify"
and while here, fix up 2 words in docs to make the spelling linter green again.
One test case uses snprintf to convert an
int to a string. Change it to use ToString
(which uses a locale-independent version of
std::to_string). Also remove unnecessary
parts of StringContentsSerializer.
and also fix spelling in test/lint/lint-locale-dependence.py not caught by the
spelling linter and fix up a paragraph we are touching here in test/README.md.
Mostly changes to remove src/univalue exceptions from the various linters,
and the required code changes to make them happy. As well as minor doc
changes.
Add `strerror` to the locale-dependence linter to catch its use. Add
exemptions for bdb interface code (false positive) and strerror.cpp
(the only allowed use).
Also fix a bug in the regexp so that `_r` and `_s` variants are detected
again.
