I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
I'm starting to wonder if IWYU is worth the effort. Nonetheless, this
makes it lint clean on macOS and reduces the number of warnings on
FreeBSD and Linux.
This was an old experiment to compile scripts directly into the
shell itself, reducing the amount of I/O performed at startup.
It has not been used for a long time. Time to remove it.
We should never use stdio functions that use stdout implicitly. Saving a
few characters isn't worth the inconsistency. Too, using the forms such
as `fwprintf()` which take an explicit stream makes it easier to find
the places we write to stdout versus stderr.
Fixes#3728
This fixes some of the IWYU and cppcheck lint warnings. And only on
macOS (formerly OS X). Fixing these types of warnings on a broader set
of platforms should be done but this is a baby step to making `make
lint-all` have few, if any, warnings. This reduces the number of lines
in the `make lint-all` output on macOS by over 500 lines.
This only eliminates errors reported by `make lint`. It shouldn't cause any
functional changes.
This change does remove several functions that are unused. It also removes the
`desc_arr` variable which is both unused and out of date with reality.
The autoconf-generated config.h contains a number of directives which
may alter the behaviour of system headers on certain platforms. Always
include it in every C++ file as the first include.
Closes#2993.
I missed restyling a few "switch" blocks to make them consistent with the rest
of the code base. This fixes that oversight. This should be the final step in
restyling the C++ code to have a consistent style. This also includes a few
trivial cleanups elsewhere.
I also missed restyling the "complete" module when working my way from a to z
so this final change includes restyling that module.
Total lint errors decreased 36%. Cppcheck errors went from 47 to 24. Oclint P2
errors went from 819 to 778. Oclint P3 errors went from 3252 to 1842.
Resolves#2902.
Remove the "make iwyu" build target. Move the functionality into the
recently introduced lint.fish script. Fix a lot, but not all, of the
include-what-you-use errors. Specifically, it fixes all of the IWYU errors
on my OS X server but only removes some of them on my Ubuntu 14.04 server.
Fixes#2957
The OS X Xcode IDE has a weird requirement that block comments preceding a
function or class definition must begin with three slashes rather than two if
you want the comment displayed in the "Quick Help" window.
This change moves source files into a src/ directory,
and puts object files into an obj/ directory. The Makefile
and xcode project are updated accordingly.
Fixes#1866
