Cpplint Processor

Purpose

Lints C/C++ files using cpplint (Google C++ style checker).

The Rust alternative is icpplint: cpplint 2.0.2’s checks, CPPLINT.cfg chain and NOLINT handling, in-process, with cpplint’s messages and exit rule. Switching is cpplint → icpplint in the stanza header, with args = ["--config=NAME"] becoming config_file = "NAME".

How It Works

Discovers .c, .cc, .h, and .hh files under src/ (excluding common C/C++ build directories), runs cpplint on each file, and records success in the cache. A non-zero exit code from cpplint fails the product.

This processor supports batch mode.

Source Files

• Input: src/**/*.c, src/**/*.cc, src/**/*.h, src/**/*.hh
• Output: none (checker)

Configuration

[processor.checker.cpplint]
args = []
dep_inputs = []

Batch support

The tool processes one file at a time. Each file is checked in a separate invocation.

Clean behavior

This processor is a Checker — rsconstruct clean outputs is a no-op for it (checkers produce no outputs). See Clean behavior and rsconstruct clean.
