<a name="app-C">
<h2>Appendix C Flags</h2>
<p>
<b></b>Flags can be grouped into four major categories: <p>
<ul>
<li> Global flags for controlling initializations and global behavior
<li> Message format flags for controlling how messages are displayed
<li> Mode selectors for coarse control of LCLint checking
<li> Checking flags that control checking and what classes of
messages are reported
</ul>
Global flags can be used in initialization files and at the command line; all
other flags may also be used in control comments.
<p>
<b>Global Flags</a></b><p>
<b></b>Global flags can be set at the command line or in an options file, but
cannot be set locally using stylized comments. These flags control on-line
help, initialization files, pre-processor flags, libraries and output.
<p>
<b><i>Help</a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>On-line help provides documentation on LCLint operation and
flags. When a help flag is used, no checking is done by LCLint. Help flags
may be preceded by <tt>-</tt> or <tt>+</tt>.<p>
<a name="flag-help"><tt>help</tt>

Describe flag <i><flag></i>. (May list several flags.)
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-warnflags"><tt>warnflags</tt>
<blockquote>
Display a warning when a flag is set in a surprising way. An error is reported
if an obsolete (LCLint Version 1.4 or earlier) flag is set, a flag is set to
its current value (i.e., the + or - may be wrong), or a mode selector flag is
set after mode checking flags that will be reset by the mode were set. By
default, warnflags is on. To suppress flag warnings, use <tt>-warnflags</tt>.<a name="_Toc349905932">
</blockquote>
<p>
<b><i>Initialization</a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>These flags control directories and files used by LCLint. They
may be used from the command line or in an options file, but may not be used as
control comments in the source code. Except where noted. they have the same
meaning preceded by - or +. <p>
<a name="flag-tmpdir">
<tt>tmpdir</tt> <i><directory></i><p>
<blockquote>
Set directory for writing temp files. Default is <tt>/tmp/</tt>.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-I">
<tt>I</tt><i><directory></i>
<blockquote>
Add directory to path searched for C include files. Note there is no space
after the I, to be consistent with C preprocessor flags.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-S">
<tt>S</tt><i><directory></i>
<blockquote>
Add directory to path search for .lcl specification files.
</blockquote>
<p>
<p>
<a name="flag-f">
<tt>f </tt><i><file></i><p>
<blockquote>
Load options file <i><file></i>. If this flag is used from the command
line, the default <tt>~/.lclintrc</tt> file is not loaded. This flag may be used in an
options file to load in another options file.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-nof">
<tt>nof</tt>
<blockquote>
Prevents the default options files (<tt>./.lclintrc</tt> and
<tt>~/.lclintrc</tt>) from being loaded. (Setting <tt>-nof</tt>
overrides <tt>+nof</tt>, causing the options files to be loaded normally.)
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-systemdirs"><tt>systemdirs</tt>
<blockquote>
Set directories for system files (default is "<tt>/usr/include</tt>"). Separate
directories with colons (e.g., "<tt>/usr/include:/usr/local/lib</tt>"). Flag settings
propagate to files in a system directory. If <tt>-systemdirerrors</tt> is set, no
errors are reported for files in system directories.
</blockquote>
<a name="_Ref345883190"><a name="_Toc349905933"><p>
<b><i>Pre-processor</a></a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>These flags are used to define or undefine pre-processor
constants. The -I<i><directory></i> flag is also passed to the C
pre-processor.<p>
<a name="flag-D">
<tt>D</tt><<em>initializer</em>>
<blockquote>
Passed to the C pre-processor.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-U">
<tt>U</tt><<em>initializer</em>>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<a name="_Ref344793948"><a name="_Toc349905934"><p>
<b><i>Libraries</a></a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>These flags control the creation and use of libraries.<p>
<tt>dump </tt><i><file></i>
<blockquote>
Save state in <i><file></i> for loading. The default extension .lcd is
added if <i><file></i> has no extension.
</blockquote>
<tt>load </tt><i><file></i>
<blockquote>
Load state from <i><file></i> (created by <tt>-dump</tt>). The default extension
<tt>.lcd</tt> is added if <i><file></i> has no extension. Only one library file
may be loaded.
</blockquote>
<p>
By default, the standard library is loaded if the -load flag is not used to
load a user library. If no user library is loaded, one of the following flags
may be used to select a different standard library. Precede the flag by + to
load the described library (or prevent a library from being loaded using
nolib). See <a href="appF.html">Apppendix F</a> for information on the
provided libraries.
<p>
<a name="flag-nolib"><tt>nolib</tt>
<blockquote>
Do not load any library. This prevents the standard library from being loaded.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-ansilib"><tt>ansi-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use the ANSI standard library (selected by default).
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-strictlib"><tt>strict-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use strict version of the ANSI standard library.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-posixlib"><tt>posix-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use the POSIX standard library.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-posixstrictlib"><tt>posix-strict-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use the strict version of the POSIX standard library.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-unixlib"><tt>unix-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use UNIX version of standard library.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-unixstrictlib"><tt>unix-strict-lib</tt>
<blockquote>
Use the strict version of the UNIX standard library.
</blockquote>
<p>
<b><i>Output</a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>These flags control what additional information is printed by
LCLint. Setting +<i><flag></i> causes the described information to be
printed; setting -<i><flag></i> prevents it. By default, all these
flags are off.<p>
<a name="flag-usestderr"><tt>usestderr</tt>
<blockquote>
Send error messages to standard error (instead of standard out).
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-showsummary"><tt>showsummary</tt>
<blockquote>
Show a summary of all errors reported and suppressed. Counts of suppressed
errors are not necessarily correct since turning a flag off may prevent some
checking from being done to save computation, and errors that are not
reported may propagate differently from when they are reported.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-showscan"><tt>showscan</tt>
<blockquote>
Show file names are they are processed.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-showalluses"><tt>showalluses</tt>
<blockquote>
Show list of uses of all external identifiers sorted by number of uses.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-stats"><tt>stats</tt>
<blockquote>
Display number of lines processed and checking time.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-timedist"><tt>timedist</tt>
<blockquote>
Display distribution of where checking time is spent.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-quiet"><tt>quiet</tt>
<blockquote>
Suppress herald and error count. (If quiet is not set, LCLint prints out a
herald with version information before checking begins, and a line summarizing
the total number of errors reported.)
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-whichlib"><tt>whichlib</tt>
<blockquote>
Print out the standard library filename and creation information.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-limit">
<tt>limit </tt><i><number></i>
<blockquote>
At most <i><number></i> similar errors are reported consecutively.
Further errors are suppressed, and a message showing the number of suppressed
messages is printed.
</blockquote>
<a name="_Toc349905936"><p>
<b><i>Expected Errors</a></i></b><p>
<b><i></i></b>Normally, LCLint will expect to report no errors. The exit
status will be success (0) if no errors are reported, and failure if any errors
are reported. Flags can be used to set the expected number of reported errors.
Because of the provided error suppression mechanisms, these options should
probably not be used for final checking real programs but may be useful in
developing programs using make.<p>
<tt>expect </tt><i><number></i>
<blockquote>
Exactly <i><number></i> code errors are expected. LCLint will exit with
failure exit status unless <i><number></i> code errors are
detected.
</blockquote>
<a name="_Toc349905937"><p>
<b>Message Format</a></b><p>
<b></b>These flags control how messages are printed. They may be set at the
command line, in options files, or locally in syntactic comments. The linelen
and limit flags may be preceded by + or - with the same meaning; for the other
flags, + turns on the describe printing and - turns it off. The box to the
left of each flag gives its default value.<p>
<a name="flag-showcolumn"><tt>showcolumn</tt>
<blockquote>
Show column number where error is found. Default: <tt>+</tt>
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-showfunc"><tt>showfunc</tt>
<blockquote>
Show name of function (or macro) definition containing error. The function
name is printed once before the first message detected in that function.
Default: <tt>+</tt><p>
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-showallconjs"><tt>showallconjs</tt>
<blockquote>
Show all possible alternate types (see <a
href="sec8.html#sec-8.2.2">Section 8.2.2</a>). Default: <tt>-</tt>
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-hints"><tt>hints</tt>
<blockquote>
Provide hints describing an error and how a message may be suppressed for the
first error reported in each error class. Default: <tt>+</tt>
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-forcehints"><tt>forcehints</tt>
<blockquote>
Provide hints for all errors reported, even if the hint has already been
displayed for the same error class. Default: <tt>-</tt>
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-linelen">
<tt>linelen</tt> <i><number></i>
<blockquote>
Set length of maximum message line to <i><number></i> characters. LCLint
will split messages longer than <i><number></i> characters long into
multiple lines. Default: <tt>80</tt>
</blockquote>
<a name="_Toc349905938"><p>
<b>Mode Selector Flags</a></a></b><p>
<b></b>Mode selects flags set the mode checking flags to predefined values.
They provide a quick coarse-grain way of controlling what classes of errors are
reported. Specific checking flags may be set after a mode flag to override the
mode settings. Mode flags may be used locally, however the mode settings will
override specific command line flag settings. A warning is produced if a mode
flag is used after a mode checking flag has been set. <p>
<p>
These are brief descriptions to give a general idea of what each mode does. To
see the complete flag settings in each mode, use lclint -help modes. A mode
flag has the same effect when used with either + or -.<p>
<a name="flag-weak"><tt>weak</tt>
<blockquote>
Weak checking, intended for typical unannotated C code. No modifies checking,
macro checking, rep exposure, or clean interface checking is done. Return
values of type int may be ignored. The types bool, int, char and user-defined
enum types are all equivalent. Old style declarations are unreported.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-standard"><tt>standard</tt>
<blockquote>
The default mode. All checking done by weak, plus modifies checking, global
alias checking, use all parameters, using released storage, ignored return
values or any type, macro checking, unreachable code, infinite loops, and
fall-through cases. The types bool, int and char are distinct. Old style
declarations are reported.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-checks"><tt>checks</tt>
<blockquote>
Moderately strict checking. All checking done by standard, plus must
modification checking, rep exposure, return alias, memory management and
complete interfaces.
</blockquote>
<a name="flag-strict"><tt>strict</tt>
<blockquote>
Absurdly strict checking. All checking done by checks, plus modifications and
global variables used in unspecified functions, strict standard library, and
strict typing of C operators. A special reward will be presented to the first
person to produce a real program that produces no errors with strict checking.
</blockquote>
<a name="_Ref344798116"><a name="_Toc349905939">
<b>Checking Flags</a></b><p>
<b></b>These flags control checking done by LCLint. They may be set locally
using syntactic comments, from the command line, or in an options file. Some
flags directly control whether a certain class of message is reported.
Preceding the flag by + turns reporting on, and preceding the flag by - turns
reporting off. Other flags control checking less directly by determining
default values (what annotations are implicit), making types equivalent (to
prevent certain type errors), controlling representation access, etc. For
these flags, the effect of + is described, and the effect of - is the opposite
(or explicitly explained if there is no clear opposite). The organization of
this section mirrors Sections 3-10.

<b><i></i></b>Under each flag name is a flag descriptor encoding the
what kind of flag it is and its default value. The descriptions are:
<p>
<a name="plain-key">
plain: <tt>-</tt>
<blockquote>
A plain flag. The value after the colon gives the default setting
(e.g., this flag is off.)
</blockquote>
<a name="mode-key">
m: <tt>--++</tt>
<blockquote>
A mode checking flag. The value of the flag is set by the mode selector. The
four signs give the setting in the weak, standard, checks and strict modes.
(e.g., this flag is off in the weak and standard modes, and on in the checks
and strict modes.)
</blockquote>
<a name="shortcut-key">
shortcut
<blockquote>
A shortcut flag. This flag sets other flags, so it has no default value.

<p>
Prevent inclusion of header files in a system directory with names that
match standard ANSI headers. The symbolic information in the standard

<b>Comments</b><p>
<b></b>These flags control how syntactic comments are interpreted (see
<a href="appE.html">Apppendix E</a>).<p>
<a name="commentchar">
<tt>commentchar </tt><i><char></i><p>
Set the marker character for syntactic comments. Comments beginning with
/*<i><char></i> are interpreted by LCLint. Default: <tt>@</tt>
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-noaccess"><tt>noaccess</tt><p>
Ignore access comments.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-nocomments"><tt>nocomments</tt><p>
Ignore all stylized comments.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-supcounts"><tt>supcounts</tt><p>
Actual number of errors does not match number in <tt>/*@i</tt><i><n></i><tt>@*/</tt>
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-lintcomments"><tt>lintcomments</tt><p>
Interpret traditional lint comments (<tt>/*FALLTHROUGH*/</tt>, <tt>/*NOTREACHED*/</tt>,
<tt>/*PRINTLIKE*/</tt>).<p>
<a href="appC.html#mode-key">m: </a><tt>-+++</tt><br>

<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-unrecogcomments">
<tt>unrecogcomments</tt>
<p>
Stylized comment is unrecognized.
<p>
<b>Parsing</b><p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-continuecomment">
<tt>continue-comment</tt>
<p>
A line continuation marker (<tt>\</tt>) appears inside a comment on the
same line as the comment close. Preprocessors should handle this correctly, but it causes problems for some preprocessors.
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-nestcomment">
<tt>nest-comment</tt>
<p>
A comment open sequence (<tt>/*</tt>) appears inside a comment. This usually
indicates that an earlier comment was not closed.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-duplicatequals">
<tt>duplicate-quals</tt>
<p>
Report duplicate type qualifiers (e.g., <tt>long long</tt>). Duplicate type
qualifiers not supported by ANSI, but some compilers (e.g., <tt>gcc</tt>) do
support duplicate qualifiers.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-gnuextensions">
<tt>gnu-extensions</tt>
<p>
Support some GNU (gcc) language extensions.
<p>
<b>Array Formal Parameters</b><p>
These flags control reporting of common errors caused by confusion about
the semantics of array formal parameters.
<p>
<b>General Checks</b><p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-sizeofformalarray"><tt>sizeof-formal-array</tt>
<p>
The sizeof operator is used on a parameter declared as an array. (In
many instances this has unexpected behavior, since the result is the
size of a pointer to the element type, not the number of elements in the
array.)
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-fixedformalarray"><tt>fixed-formal-array</tt>
<p>
An array formal parameter is declared with a fixed size (e.g., <tt>int
x[20]</tt>). This is likely to be confusing, since the size is ignored.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-formalarray"><tt>formal-array</tt>
<p>
A formal parameter is declared as an array. This is probably not a
problem, but can be confusing since it is treated as a pointer.
<p>
<b></b>These flags should probably not be set globally since the turn off
general checks that should always be done. They may be used locally to
suppress spurious errors.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-abstract"><tt>abstract</tt><p>
A data abstraction barrier is violated.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-control"><tt>control</tt><p>
A control flow error is detected.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-syntax"><tt>syntax</tt><p>
Parse error.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>-</tt><br>
<a name="flag-trytorecover"><tt>trytorecover</tt><p>
Try to recover from a parse error. If trytorecover is not set, LCLint will
abort checking after a parse error is detected. If it is set, LCLint will
attempt to recover, but LCLint does performs only minimal error recovery.
<p>
<a href="appC.html#plain-key">plain</a>: <tt>+</tt><br>
<a name="flag-type"><tt>type</tt><p>
Type mismatch.

<b>Flag Name Abbreviations</a></b><p>
<b></b>Within a flag name, abbreviations may be used. Table 2 shows the flag
name abbreviations. The expanded and short forms are interchangeable in flag
names. <p>
For example, globsimpmodsnothing and globalsimpliesmodifiesnothing denote the
same flag. Abbreviations in flag names allow pronounceable, descriptive names
to be used without making flag names excessively long (although one must admit
even globsimpmodsnothing is a bit of a mouthful.)<p>
