lowRISC's Miscellaneous Linters

About the project

These are linters and checkers, usually for source code, which we have written for various lowRISC projects.

They include

• licence-checker/licence-checker.py which will ensure source code in your repository contains correctly formatted licence headers. This is designed to be reused: it is configured with licence-checker.hjson.

Using the linters

This repository provides Bazel rules for generating linting jobs. First, add this repository to your WORKSPACE (with a name like lowrisc_lint). Then, in WORKSPACE add

load("@lowrisc_lint//rules:deps.bzl", "lowrisc_misc_linters_dependencies")
lowrisc_misc_linters_dependencies()
load("@lowrisc_lint//rules:pip.bzl", "lowrisc_misc_linters_pip_dependencies")
lowrisc_misc_linters_pip_dependencies()

and then in a BUILD file, like the root:

load("@lowrisc_lint//rules:rules.bzl", "licence_check")

licence_check(
    name = "licence-check",
    licence = '''
    Copyright lowRISC contributors.
    Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, see LICENSE for details.
    SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
    ''',
    exclude_patterns = [".style.yapf"],
)

This will generate a rule that will check licence headers, callable as bazel run //:licence-check.
