27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;;{{{ Documentation
31 ;; Description:
33 ;; CWarn is a package that highlights suspicious C and C++ constructions.
35 ;; For example, take a look at the following piece of C code:
37 ;; if (x = 0);
38 ;; foo();
40 ;; The code contains two, possibly fatal, bugs. The first is that the
41 ;; assignment operator "=" is used as part of the test; the user
42 ;; probably meant to use the comparison operator "==".
44 ;; The second problem is that an extra semicolon is placed after
45 ;; closing parenthesis of the test expression. This makes the body of
46 ;; the if statement to be an empty statement, not the call to the
47 ;; function "foo", as the user probably intended.
49 ;; This package is capable of highlighting the following C and C++
50 ;; constructions:
52 ;; * Assignments inside expressions, including variations like "+=".
53 ;; * Semicolon following immediately after `if', `for', and `while'
54 ;; (except, of course, after a `do .. while' statement).
55 ;; * C++ functions with reference parameters.
57 ;; Note that none of the constructions highlighted (especially not C++
58 ;; reference parameters) are considered errors by the language
59 ;; definitions.
61 ;; Usage:
63 ;; CWarn is implemented as two minor modes: `cwarn-mode' and
64 ;; `global-cwarn-mode'. The former can be applied to individual buffers
65 ;; and the latter to all buffers.
67 ;; Activate this package by Customize, or by placing the following line
68 ;; into the appropriate init file:
70 ;; (global-cwarn-mode 1)
72 ;; Also, `font-lock-mode' or `global-font-lock-mode' must be enabled.
74 ;; Afterthought:
76 ;; After using this package for several weeks it feels as though I
77 ;; find stupid typo-style bugs while editing rather than at compile-
78 ;; or run-time, if I ever find them.
80 ;; On the other hand, I find myself using assignments inside
81 ;; expressions much more often than I used to do. The reason is that
82 ;; there is no risk of interpreting an assignment operator as a
83 ;; comparison ("hey, the assignment operator is red, duh!").
85 ;; Reporting bugs:
87 ;; Out of the last ten bugs you found, how many did you report?
89 ;; When reporting a bug, please:
91 ;; * Send a mail the maintainer of the package, or to the author
92 ;; if no maintainer exists.
93 ;; * Include the name of the package in the title of the mail, to
94 ;; simplify for the recipient.
95 ;; * State exactly what you did, what happened, and what you expected
96 ;; to see when you found the bug.
97 ;; * If the bug cause an error, set the variable `debug-on-error' to t,
98 ;; repeat the operations that triggered the error and include
99 ;; the backtrace in the letter.
100 ;; * If possible, include an example that activates the bug.
101 ;; * Should you speculate about the cause of the problem, please
102 ;; state explicitly that you are guessing.
