=head1 NAME
B::Lint - Perl lint
=head1 SYNOPSIS
perl -MO=Lint[,OPTIONS] foo.pl
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B::Lint module is equivalent to an extended version of the B<-w>
option of B<perl>. It is named after the program F<lint> which carries
out a similar process for C programs.
=head1 OPTIONS AND LINT CHECKS
Option words are separated by commas (not whitespace) and follow the
usual conventions of compiler backend options. Following any options
(indicated by a leading B<->) come lint check arguments. Each such
argument (apart from the special B<all> and B<none> options) is a
word representing one possible lint check (turning on that check) or
is B<no-foo> (turning off that check). Before processing the check
arguments, a standard list of checks is turned on. Later options
override earlier ones. Available options are:
=over 8
=item B<magic-diamond>
Produces a warning whenever the magic C<E<lt>E<gt>> readline is
used. Internally it uses perl's two-argument open which itself treats
filenames with special characters specially. This could allow
interestingly named files to have unexpected effects when reading.
% touch 'rm *|'
% perl -pe 1
The above creates a file named C<rm *|>. When perl opens it with
C<E<lt>E<gt>> it actually executes the shell program C<rm *>. This
makes C<E<lt>E<gt>> dangerous to use carelessly.
=item B<context>
Produces a warning whenever an array is used in an implicit scalar
context. For example, both of the lines
$foo = length(@bar);
$foo = @bar;
will elicit a warning. Using an explicit B<scalar()> silences the
warning. For example,
$foo = scalar(@bar);
=item B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write>
These options produce a warning whenever an operation implicitly
reads or (respectively) writes to one of Perl's special variables.
For example, B<implicit-read> will warn about these:
/foo/;
and B<implicit-write> will warn about these:
s/foo/bar/;
Both B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write> warn about this:
for (@a) { ... }
=item B<bare-subs>
This option warns whenever a bareword is implicitly quoted, but is also
the name of a subroutine in the current package. Typical mistakes that it will
trap are:
use constant foo => 'bar';
@a = ( foo => 1 );
$b{foo} = 2;
Neither of these will do what a naive user would expect.
=item B<dollar-underscore>
This option warns whenever C<$_> is used either explicitly anywhere or
as the implicit argument of a B<print> statement.
=item B<private-names>
This option warns on each use of any variable, subroutine or
method name that lives in a non-current package but begins with
an underscore ("_"). Warnings aren't issued for the special case
of the single character name "_" by itself (e.g. C<$_> and C<@_>).
=item B<undefined-subs>
This option warns whenever an undefined subroutine is invoked.
This option will only catch explicitly invoked subroutines such
as C<foo()> and not indirect invocations such as C<&$subref()>
or C<$obj-E<gt>meth()>. Note that some programs or modules delay
definition of subs until runtime by means of the AUTOLOAD
mechanism.
=item B<regexp-variables>
This option warns whenever one of the regexp variables C<$`>, C<$&> or C<$'>
is used. Any occurrence of any of these variables in your
program can slow your whole program down. See L<perlre> for
details.
=item B<all>
Turn all warnings on.
=item B<none>
Turn all warnings off.
=back
=head1 NON LINT-CHECK OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<-u Package>
Normally, Lint only checks the main code of the program together
with all subs defined in package main. The B<-u> option lets you
include other package names whose subs are then checked by Lint.
=back
=head1 EXTENDING LINT
Lint can be extended by with plugins. Lint uses L<Module::Pluggable>
to find available plugins. Plugins are expected but not required to
inform Lint of which checks they are adding.
The C<< B::Lint->register_plugin( MyPlugin => \@new_checks ) >> method
adds the list of C<@new_checks> to the list of valid checks. If your
module wasn't loaded by L<Module::Pluggable> then your class name is
added to the list of plugins.
You must create a C<match( \%checks )> method in your plugin class or one
of its parents. It will be called on every op as a regular method call
with a hash ref of checks as its parameter.
The class methods C<< B::Lint->file >> and C<< B::Lint->line >> contain
the current filename and line number.
package Sample;
use B::Lint;
B::Lint->register_plugin( Sample => [ 'good_taste' ] );
sub match {
my ( $op, $checks_href ) = shift @_;
if ( $checks_href->{good_taste} ) {
...
}
}
