Working directories are now set seperately from the commands so they
can later be swapped out when running linters over projects is
supported, and also better support filename mapping for running linters
on other machines in future.
Users can easily be confused when they set some options for a C or C++
compiler, and another compiler is run with different options, which
still reports errors. To remedy this, the existing `gcc` and `clang`
linters have been replaced with a `cc` linter that will run either
compiler.
This is a breaking change for ALE v3.0.0.
* fix cppcheck for 1.89+, and add column support
In cppcheck 1.89 the output changed to be more like GCC. This commit
forces any version of cppcheck to output in that same format. This also
allows for ALE to pick up the linter's column information
* Add parameters to tests. Vader passes.
* Fix c cppcheck for v1.89
ALE appends flags from {c,cpp}_{clang,gcc}_options after those found by
parsing compile_commands.json or Makefile output. If -std=* flags are
present in both the ALE flags and parsed flags, the last one present
(i.e., ALE's -std=* flag) will determine the mode the compiler works in.
This can result in errors showing up in vim but not in the actual build
or vice-versa.
For example, say you have foo.cpp:
#include <type_traits>
int main() {
return std::is_same_v<float, int>;
}
If cpp_clang_options contains -std=c++17 and -std=c++14 is parsed from
compile_commands.json, then ALE would end up running something like:
clang++ -S -x c++ -fsyntax-only -std=c++14 -std=c++17 - < foo.cpp
This would result in no errors showing up in Vim, but the actual build
would fail with:
<stdin>:3:14: error: no template named 'is_same_v' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'is_same'?
return std::is_same_v<float, int>;
~~~~~^~~~~~~~~
is_same
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/type_traits:872:61: note: 'is_same' declared here
template <class _Tp, class _Up> struct _LIBCPP_TEMPLATE_VIS is_same : public false_type {};
^
<stdin>:3:35: error: expected '(' for function-style cast or type construction
return std::is_same_v<float, int>;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
2 errors generated.
as the actual build would not have the -std=c++17 flag added by ALE.
If cpp_clang_options contains -std=c++14 and -std=c++17 is parsed from
compile_commands.json, then the opposite problem would occur. ALE would
end up running something like:
clang++ -S -x c++ -fsyntax-only -std=c++17 -std=c++14 - < foo.cpp
and would show an error on line 3 of foo.cpp:
[clang] No template named 'is_same_v' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'is_same'? (fix available)
The actual build, on the other hand, would succeed without any
complaints.
Removing -std=* from ALE's flags if it is already present in the parsed
flags ensures that the wrong -std=* flag is not used.
An alternative would have been to switch the order in which parsed flags
and ALE flags were concatenated when producing the command to execute,
but that could prevent a user from intentionally using ALE's flags to
override some other flags, e.g. -W* flags to enable/disable warnings in
a project whose flags are not under the developer's control.
-std=* flags are also present in cuda/nvcc.vim, objc/clang.vim,
objcpp/clang.vim, and vhdl/ghdl.vim, but none of those linters appear to
parse compile_commands.json or `make` output.
The existing option setting handles setting additional compile flags to
pass to clang-tidy. The new option setting added here allows setting
additional clang-tidy specific flags to be passed as well.
Fixes#2324
cppcheck is now run without the --project option and from the buffer's
directory instead when the buffer has been modified. Saving the buffer
will get results by linting the project instead.
* The project style linter now runs while you type.
* Now the scripts for checking the project require blank lines.
* Many style issues have been found and fixed.
* Handle flawfinder severity level
* Reverted code allowing Flawfinder to piggyback off of gcc's format handler
* Gave Flawfinder its own format handler and made requested changes.
* Flawfinder support added for C and C++
A minor modification to gcc handler was made to support flawfinder's
single-line output format that does not have a space following the
colon denoting the warning level. gcc handler still passes its
Vader tests after this modification.
* Documentation fixes
* Revert documentation regression
* Added Flawfinder to table of contents
* Removed trailing whitespace
* Follow ALE conventions better
Added additional documentation and Vader tests
