Package: check-all-the-things
Version: 2017.05.20
Severity: wishlist

As discussed with Pabs, Add support for splint static analysis tool for
C source files check.
The patch (debdiff) is in attachement of this mail.

splint call has been tested on sid.

Pabs: you talked of updated the README file. I didn't see what or where
to upload its content, sorry.

Cheers,

Control: tags -1 + pending

Merged locally, made some slight whitespace adjustments
because of this message in the splint manual page:


For future reference, `git format-patch` output would be better.
working on the patch to add splint support.

BTW: splint is orphaned in Debian and upstream looks very inactive,
you may want to adopt it in Debian and try to improve the situation.

Ok.

Using +quiet. Should make it stop printing version/message.
Ok. I hesitated before the two formats. I thought debdiff was the
required one.
Ok, sorry i misundestood. the consequence is i read it entirely :)

Well, even if i appreciate C quality and associated tools, i have to
check if i'm capable enough to maintain it. Not sure.
I haven't written flex/bison code since a long time ago and i don't
think i'm still able, for example, to update (flex?/)bison file to
support C11 :-/

Added and pushed.

debdiff doesn't include git commit meta-data like author or message.

Great.

Fair enough. Patches welcome for the other C TODO items too:

If you know of more tools, extra TODO items would be welcome.

Hi Paul,

in this bug report you are refering to some commit which can't be
accessed any more since the repository inside the Alioth archive got
somehow lost and I can only find check-all-the-things-old[1].

Since check-all-the-things came up as candidate for the Bug of the Day I
had a look into it.  I even created a repository on Salsa[2] by using a
`gbp dscs` import.  Given that you seem to have some more appropriate
repository I will stop working on it and would like you to force-push
whatever you might be able to restore.

Please let me know if I could be of further help and thank you for
your QA work in Debian

    Andreas.

Thank you for the hint which was also on Matrix and I've migrated the
repository to Salsa.  Meanwhile I informed Paul in a Github issue about
this.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
