pre-commit tools is no perfect... it is for help when commit code and

there is some false postive...


Certainly the SubmittingPatches wiki page describes it that way--it's part
of why I never bothered installing it.

 Please verify on your system and let me know the results. Here's the
result on mine:
jmayer@egg nghttp2(master)$ ../../tools/checkAPIs.pl *
Error: Found prohibited APIs in nghttp2_helper.c:
ntohl,ntohs,htonl,htons
Error: Found prohibited APIs in nghttp2_mem.c:
malloc,calloc,realloc,free
Error: Found prohibited APIs in nghttp2_net.h: ntohl,ntohs,htonl,htons

 For me checkAPIs is only for dissectors file
You have the same type of warning on wiretap folder :

wireshark/wiretap$ ../tools/checkAPIs.pl *
Error: Found prohibited APIs in ascend.c: malloc,free
Error: Found prohibited APIs in ascend_scanner.c: malloc,realloc,free
Error: Found prohibited APIs in k12text.c: malloc,realloc,free


No, I don't, because I do out of tree builds and all of these are
generated
file ;-)

What I don't understand is, that if you have the pre-commit hook
installed,
you should never have been able to commit these files.


I suppose if people do install the hook and do get the errors (and they
are thought to be false positives) they just override them (as is
recommended in the wiki).

 I hit the problem when I did a "git commit -a" during merge conflict
resolution.

We currently have one file that I know of that "validly" fails the
pre-commit
script, and that is doc/packet-PROTOABBREV.c. I'm not aware of any other
file
(that gets checked into the repo) that should be allowed to fail the
pre-commit
hook.


The fundamental problem (at least with the checkAPIs portion of the hook)
is that some files/directories have different rules than others. Currently
that intelligence is built into the Makefiles which isn't really available
to the hook.

A Better Way would be to build that intelligence into checkAPIs, maybe
with a configuration file in each directory.

Patches are welcome :-)
