MSLint

Appearance

id-denylist ​

Forbid the use of the specified identifiers

Rule details ​

This rule ensures that identifiers are not included in a given list. It will catch:

  • setting declarations
  • command declarations
  • constant declarations
  • structure declarations
  • structure member declarations
  • function declarations
  • function arguments declarations
  • variables declarations
  • labels declarations

Only declarations are checked. This prevents errors from being raised by code outside your control, such as using a constant from a library.

Settings ​

  • list a list of values that identifiers cannot use. Default [].

Example of incorrect code for this rule:

maniascript
/*
{
  "list" = [
    "ForbiddenSetting",
    "ForbiddenCommand",
    "ForbiddenConstant",
    "ForbiddenStruct",
    "ForbiddenStructMember",
    "ForbiddenFunction",
    "ForbiddenFunctionArg",
    "ForbiddenVariable",
    "ForbiddenLabel"
  ]
}
*/
#Setting ForbiddenSetting 1
#Command ForbiddenCommand (Boolean)
#Const ForbiddenConstant 2
#Struct ForbiddenStruct {
  Integer ForbiddenStructMember;
}
Void ForbiddenFunction() {}
Void ValidFunction(Integer ForbiddenFunctionArg) {}
main() {
  declare Integer[] ForbiddenVariable;
  +++ForbiddenLabel+++
}

Example of correct code for this rule:

maniascript
/*
{
  "list" = [
    "ForbiddenSetting",
    "ForbiddenCommand",
    "ForbiddenConstant",
    "ForbiddenStruct",
    "ForbiddenStructMember",
    "ForbiddenFunction",
    "ForbiddenFunctionArg",
    "ForbiddenVariable",
    "ForbiddenLabel"
  ]
}
*/
***ForbiddenLabel***
***
ForbiddenVariable = 1;
***

main() {
  declare Integer A = ForbiddenSetting;
  declare Integer B = ForbiddenConstant;
  declare ForbiddenStruct C = ForbiddenStruct {
    ForbiddenStructMember = 1
  };
  ForbiddenFunction();
}
