The following table lists the lint-style comments available with the SGI C compiler, along with a short description. See the lint(1) reference page for more details.
Table B-1. lint-style Comments
Comment | Short Description |
|---|---|
Applies lint-style check to the first (n-1) arguments as usual. The nth argument is interpreted as a printf format string that is used to check the remaining arguments. | |
Applies lint-style check to the first (n-1) arguments as usual. The nth argument is interpreted as a scanf format string that is used to check the remaining arguments. | |
Applies lint-style check to only the first n arguments for usage; a missing n is taken to be 0 (this option acts like the -v option for the next function). | |
Suppresses the usual checking for variable numbers of arguments in the following function declaration. The data types of the first n arguments are checked; a missing n is taken to be 0. The use of the ellipsis terminator (...) in the definition is suggested in new or updated code. | |
Stops comments about unreachable code when placed at appropriate points. (This comment is typically placed just after calls to functions like exit). | |
Tells the compiler that the variable defined after comment is referenced. |
