hiding lint's ravings (was Re: FAQ - malloc array - clarify)

[Larry Wall]

Here's a nifty little gizmo that implements /*NOSTRICT*/ by
postprocessing lint's output for you.

#!/usr/bin/perl
'di';
'ig00';
#
# $Header: nostrict,v 1.1 90/08/11 13:26:31 lwall Locked $
#
# $Log:	nostrict,v $
# Revision 1.1  90/08/11  13:26:31  lwall
# Initial revision
# 

for $arg (@ARGV) {
    next unless $arg =~ /\.[ch]$/;
    open(IN,$arg);
    while (<IN>) {
	vec($ok{$arg}, $., 1) = 1 if m#/\*\s*NOSTRICT\s*\*/# .. m#;\s*($|/\*)#;
    }
    close IN;
}

open(LINT, "-|") || exec @ARGV;

while (<LINT>) {
    next unless ($file,$line) = /(\S+)\((\d+\))/;
    next unless defined $ok{$file};
    $_ = '' if vec($ok{$file}, $line, 1);
    next unless ($file,$line) = /::\s*(\S+)\((\d+\))/;
    next unless defined $ok{$file};
    $_ = '' if vec($ok{$file}, $line, 1);
}
continue {
    print;
}

.AT 3
.SH NAME
nostrict \- postprocesses lint output to implement NOSTRICT directives
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B nostrict lint [lint_args]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Nostrict
runs the command supplied in the rest of the arguments on the command
line, and then weeds out any lint complaints referring to statements
preceded by the /*NOSTRICT*/ directive that the lint documentation
documents but that lint doesn't implement.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
.SH FILES
None.
.SH AUTHOR
Larry Wall
.SH "SEE ALSO"
lint(1)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
None.  Relies on lint to tell you about missing files.
.SH BUGS
Should probably differentiate the errors you want NOSTRICT for from
the errors you don't.
