lint

Check code quality and formatting before committing changes.

Usage

Run this skill to check for lint errors and formatting issues.

Instructions

C Code

1. Check C/C++ formatting against .clang-format:

   clang-format --dry-run -Werror <modified .c and .h files>
   

2. If formatting check fails, apply formatting:

   clang-format -i <modified .c and .h files>
   

3. Verify the project compiles without warnings-as-errors:

   ./build.sh
   

   The CMake build promotes key warnings to errors (-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types, -Werror=implicit-function-declaration). A successful build confirms these pass.

Rust Code

1. Run the lint check:

   make lint
   

2. If clippy reports warnings or errors, fix them before proceeding

3. Check formatting:

   make fmt CHECK=1
   

4. If formatting check fails, apply formatting:

   make fmt
   

5. If license headers are missing, add them:

   (cd src/redisearch_rs && cargo license-fix)   # subshell: custom subcommand, no --manifest-path
   

Common Clippy Fixes

• Document unsafe blocks: Add // SAFETY: comment explaining why the unsafe code is sound
• Use #[expect(...)]: Prefer over #[allow(...)] for lint suppressions
