Accessors

  • get id(): string
  • Gets the short identifier of the detector, used in analyzer warnings.

    Returns string

    The unique identifier of the detector.

  • get shareImportedWarnings(): WarningsBehavior
  • Defines the behavior of warnings generated by this detector when working with multiple projects within a single Tact configuration.

    Here are the available options:

    1. "union" Leave this value if you don't care about warnings generated in other projects.
    2. "intersect" If the warning is generated for some source location of the imported file, it should be generated by each of the projects. Example: Constants from an imported file should not be reported iff they are unused in all the projects, so you need "intersect".

    Returns WarningsBehavior

  • get usesSouffle(): boolean
  • Checks whether this detector needs the Soufflé binary to be executed.

    Returns boolean

Methods

  • Executes the detector's logic to check for issues within the provided compilation unit.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<Warning[]>

    List of warnings has highlighted by this detector.

  • A wrapper method that creates Misti warnings with additional context about the detector generated it.

    Parameters

    • description: string
    • loc: SrcInfo
    • data: Partial<{
          category: Category;
          extraDescription: string;
          quickfixes: QuickFix[];
          severity: Severity;
          suggestion: string;
      }> = {}

    Returns Warning

  • Returns true if the identifier with the given name should not be reported by unused variables detectors.

    Parameters

    • name: string

    Returns boolean
