Implements suggestions and recommendations suggested by the first review of the "Advance C# linter based on mcs -t:module (#952)" pull request. - Clarifies and simplifies description of linters and options - Added links to help file and marked the mcsc linter as to be run only when file in buffer is saved or loaded. - Added comments to the mcsc.vim file to clarify code - removed type checks considered not necessary be reviewer. - addresses findings by vader - removed call to getcwd and cd in vim script - handler expands file names relative to route of source tree into absolute pathes. Fixes errors not being marked when vim is started from subdirectory of source tree. - implements tests for mcs.vim and mcsc.vim linter

ALE C# Integration *ale-cs-options*
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
mcs *ale-cs-mcs*
|
|
|
|
The mcs linter checks the syntax of the '*.cs' file loaded in the current
|
|
buffer only. It uses the --parse option of the mcs compiler and implicitly
|
|
sets the -unsafe flag.
|
|
|
|
g:ale_cs_mcs_options *g:ale_cs_mcs_options*
|
|
*b:ale_cs_mcs_options*
|
|
|
|
Type: String
|
|
Default: `''`
|
|
|
|
This variable can be changed to pass additional flags given to mcs.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The -unsafe flag is selected implicitly and thus does not need to be
|
|
explicitly included in the |g:ale_cs_mcs_options| or |b:ale_cs_mcs_options|
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
mcsc *ale-cs-mcsc*
|
|
|
|
The mcsc linter uses the mono mcs compiler to generate a temporary module
|
|
target file (-t:module). The module includes including all '*.cs' files
|
|
contained in the directory tree rooted at the path defined by the
|
|
|g:ale_cs_mcsc_source| or |b:ale_cs_mcsc_source| variable.
|
|
variable and all sub directories.
|
|
|
|
The paths to search for additional assembly ('*.dll') files can be
|
|
specified using the |g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path| or
|
|
|b:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path| variable. The additional assembly files ('*.dll')
|
|
can be included through the |g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies| or
|
|
|b:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies| parameter.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: mcs compiles sources in multiple phases. It stops compilation after
|
|
finding errors during the current phase.
|
|
For example assume a file named 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is edited and saved
|
|
which contains a Type error. In the same directory tree a file named
|
|
'FileWithSyntaxError.cs' exists which contains a syntax error
|
|
(eg.: a missing '{').
|
|
In that case mcs and thus mcsc linter will stop after the syntax check phase is
|
|
finished and report the syntax error in the file 'FileWithSyntaxError.cs'. The
|
|
Type error in the file 'FileWithTypeError.cs is not seen jet.
|
|
The only possibility to find the error in in 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is to fix
|
|
the syntax error in 'FileWithSyntaxError.cs' first. After saving mcs will
|
|
successfully pass the syntax check phase and advance to the next compilation
|
|
phase at which the Type error hidden in 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is found and
|
|
now can be indicated by ale.
|
|
|
|
g:ale_cs_mcsc_options *g:ale_cs_mcsc_options*
|
|
*b:ale_cs_mcsc_options*
|
|
Type: |String|
|
|
Default: `''`
|
|
|
|
This parameter can be used to define additional flags and parameters independent
|
|
of the source tree to be linted. The specified string is directly passed to
|
|
mcs compiler without any further change.
|
|
|
|
For example, to add the dotnet package which is not added per default
|
|
|
|
let g:ale_cs_mcs_options = '-pkg:dotnet'
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The mcs -unsafe option is included implicitly per default. Therefore it
|
|
is not necessary to specify it explicitly through the |g:ale_cs_mcsc_options|
|
|
or |b:ale_cs_mcsc_options| parameter.
|
|
|
|
g:ale_cs_mcsc_source *g:ale_cs_mcsc_source*
|
|
*b:ale_cs_mcsc_source*
|
|
Type: |String|
|
|
Default: `''`
|
|
|
|
This variable defines the root path of the directory tree searched for the
|
|
'*.cs' files to be linted. If empty the current working directory is used.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Currently it is not possible to specify sub directories and
|
|
directory sub trees which shall not be searched for *.cs files.
|
|
|
|
g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path *g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path*
|
|
*b:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path*
|
|
Type: |List|
|
|
Default: `[]`
|
|
|
|
This variable defines a list of path strings to be searched for external
|
|
assembly ('*.dll') files. The list is passed to the mcs compiler using the
|
|
'-lib:' flag.
|
|
|
|
g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies *g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies*
|
|
*b:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies*
|
|
Type: |List|
|
|
Default: `[]`
|
|
|
|
This variable defines a list of external assembly (*.dll) files required
|
|
by the mono mcs compiler to generate a valid module target. The list is
|
|
passed the mcs compiler using the '-r:' flag.
