Tool</h1> | |
<p>It is not uncommon for various common errors or | |
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm">guideline violations</a> to creep into the | |
Boost libraries. The <i>inspect</i> program detects and reports several common | |
problems. It can be used to scan a proposed Boost submission to identify various | |
failures.</p> | |
<p>The <i>inspect</i> program is written in C++ to limit tool chain | |
dependencies, and should be portable to any system.</p> | |
<p>The program is run in the directory to be scanned for errors. Sub-directories | |
are also included in the scan.</p> | |
<p>If the first program argument is <code>-cvs</code>, only files and | |
directories in the CVS tree of the current directory are scanned. Otherwise all | |
files and sub-directories are included in the scan.</p> | |
<p>If the first program argument is <code>-help</code>, a usage message is | |
displayed, showing all available program options.</p> | |
<p>The program sources include:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li><a href="inspector.hpp">inspect.hpp</a> and <a href="inspect.cpp"> | |
inspect.cpp</a></li> | |
<li><a href="link_check.hpp">link_check.hpp</a> and <a href="link_check.cpp"> | |
link_check.cpp</a></li> | |
<li><a href="path_name_check.hpp">path_name_check.hpp</a> and | |
<a href="path_name_check.cpp">path_name_check.cpp</a></li> | |
<li><a href="tab_check.hpp">tab_check.hpp</a> and <a href="tab_check.cpp"> | |
tab_check.cpp</a></li> | |
</ul> | |
<p>A <a href="build/Jamfile.v2">Jamfile</a> is provided to build the program | |
using Boost.Build.</p> | |
<p>A Microsoft Visual Studio <a href="build/msvc/boost_inspect.suo">solution | |
file</a> is provided to aid maintenance. See | |
<a href="build/msvc/readme.txt">readme.txt</a> | |
before using it.</p> | |
