This commit closes the structural-tests work on PR #18. Every gate in `run-all.sh --fast` now passes end-to-end on the canonical dev machine. New gates ───────── 1. shellcheck (scripts/quality/shellcheck.sh) * Scans every `scripts/**/*.sh` at severity=warning+ * 16 scripts inspected; cleanup pass took the tree from 7 findings (SC2164 + SC2034) to 0 findings. 2. cppcheck (scripts/quality/cppcheck.sh) * Complementary static analyser to clang-tidy; different heuristics, fewer false-positives on heavy CGAL/Eigen templates. * Default severity warning+, --strict adds style, --all = everything. * Suppresses 4 noise classes (missingIncludeSystem, etc.) explicitly. 3. .editorconfig * Cross-IDE fallback for editors that don't honour clang-format. * Covers Markdown (preserve trailing whitespace), Python, YAML, JSON, shell, Makefile (tabs) — the file types clang-format doesn't cover. 4. CONFORMALLAB_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS CMake option * Off by default → regular builds don't break on new GCC warnings. * `-DCONFORMALLAB_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=ON` adds `-Werror`, intended for CI promotion-track and sanitizer runs. Dependency audit (doc/architecture/dependencies.md) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── New single-source-of-truth document listing: * what the library requires (Eigen + CGAL + Boost — all header-only) * what tests require (auto-fetched GTest, no system install) * what each quality tool is for, install command per OS, and behaviour when missing (each gate exits 2 = SKIP, run-all recognises this and continues) * a verification recipe that strips PATH down and shows the library still configures + builds + tests cleanly with zero quality tools installed. run-all.sh enhanced ─────────────────── * Recognises "tool not in PATH" → SKIP (not FAIL). * Summary now reports `passed / skipped / failed` separately. Bug fixes uncovered by the sweep ──────────────────────────────── * sanitizers.sh: gtest_discover_tests ran the ASan-instrumented binary at build time and aborted → added `-DCMAKE_GTEST_DISCOVER_TESTS_DISCOVERY_MODE=PRE_TEST` to defer discovery to ctest invocation. Now 23/23 sanitizer-instrumented tests pass. * clang-tidy.sh on macOS: brew-installed clang-tidy couldn't find Apple SDK system headers (<cmath>, <complex>, …) → added `--extra-arg=-isysroot $(xcrun --show-sdk-path)` on Darwin. * clang-tidy.sh: needed `-DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON` in compile_commands generation so CGAL include paths are part of at least one compile entry. Now resolves CGAL/Surface_mesh.h etc. * clang-tidy.sh: viewer-only headers (`viewer_utils.h`, `mesh_utils.hpp`) excluded — they need `WITH_VIEWER=ON` + system GLFW/libigl that the lint build doesn't drag in. * `.codespellrc`: extended ignore list (recognise, signalled, modelled, travelled, …) for British-English consistency across own writing. Final state — local quality block on this commit, this branch: ✅ License headers (66/66 carry MIT SPDX) ✅ CGAL conventions (0/6 violations on 6 CGAL headers) ✅ clang-format drift (0 drift) ✅ cmake-format/-lint (0 drift, 0 lint findings) ✅ codespell (0 typos in scope) ✅ shellcheck (0 findings across 16 .sh files) ✅ cppcheck (warning+ severity clean) ✅ Markdown links (122/122 resolve) ✅ Sanitizers (ASan+UBSan) (23/23 fast tests pass) ✅ clang-tidy (35 headers inspected, 0 findings) Library standalone-ness verified: env -i PATH=... cmake -S code -B /tmp/build-standalone cmake --build /tmp/build-standalone --target conformallab_tests ctest -E '^cgal\.' → all green Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Local structural quality gates
This directory contains the structural quality checks that run locally
rather than in CI. They are intentionally not wired into
.gitea/workflows/ (yet) because each is either too slow, too brittle
against the runner environment, or both — running them before a release
or before showing the repo to an external reviewer is the intended
workflow.
The CI gates that are enforced live in .gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml
and .gitea/workflows/doxygen-pages.yml; they cover the day-to-day
correctness loop (build + test + doxygen-coverage + test-count
consistency + markdown links + end-to-end smoke via try_it.sh).
What runs locally
Style / convention gates (run on every commit; cheap)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
license-headers.sh |
every C++ source carries SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT |
~1 s | bash |
cgal-conventions.py |
CGAL-1…6: include-guard format, \file brief, namespace nesting, tag-naming, no using namespace, no stray #define |
~1 s | python3 |
clang-format.sh |
every C++ source matches .clang-format (dry-run by default; --fix to apply) |
~2 s | clang-format ≥ 15 |
cmake-format.sh |
every CMakeLists.txt matches .cmake-format.yaml + passes cmake-lint |
~2 s | cmake-format (pip: cmakelang) |
codespell.sh |
typo check across docs + source comments + script messages | ~1 s | codespell |
shellcheck.sh |
static analysis of every scripts/**/*.sh |
~1 s | shellcheck |
cppcheck.sh |
second-opinion static analyser over code/include/ |
~5 s | cppcheck |
../check-markdown-links.py |
every internal markdown link resolves | ~2 s | python3 |
Correctness / quality gates (run before tagging or reviewer demos)
| Script | What it checks | Wall time | Prereqs |
|---|---|---|---|
sanitizers.sh |
fast test suite under ASan + UBSan | ~3 min | clang++ ≥ 14 or g++ ≥ 11 |
coverage.sh |
gcov/lcov line + branch coverage of code/include/ |
~2 min | lcov |
clang-tidy.sh |
curated clang-tidy checks over public headers | ~2 min | clang-tidy ≥ 14, .clang-tidy |
multi-compiler.sh |
build + test under every detected gcc/clang | ~5 min × N compilers | any 2 of g++, clang++ |
reproducible-build.sh |
two builds → byte-identical test executables | ~6 min | none beyond compiler |
cgal-version-matrix.sh |
build + CGAL test suite against multiple CGAL versions | ~5 min × N versions | CGAL trees under ~/cgal/<ver>/ (or CGAL_ROOTS=...) |
How to use
# Fast subset (license + links + sanitizers + clang-tidy) — ~5 min total
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh --fast
# Full sweep — ~25–40 min, intended for pre-release tagging
bash scripts/quality/run-all.sh
# One specific gate
bash scripts/quality/sanitizers.sh
Every gate writes its full output to build-quality-logs/<gate>.log
when invoked via run-all.sh, and to its own per-gate build directory
(build-sanitizers/, build-coverage/, build-multi-<cc>/, …) when
invoked directly.
Promotion path to CI
Each gate can be wired into .gitea/workflows/cpp-tests.yml once two
conditions are met:
- The gate is green on the canonical dev machine. If the script exits 1 today, the CI gate would block every PR.
- There is a published policy line in
doc/release-policy.mdthat explains what regression the gate catches and what the recovery is. Future contributors should be able to read the error and know what to fix.
Promoting a gate is a one-line change to cpp-tests.yml; the test
recipe is the script invocation itself.
Known limitations
cgal-version-matrix.shdoes not download CGAL. Each version must already be on the dev machine under~/cgal/<ver>/(override withCGAL_ROOTS=...:...). The Dockerfile under.gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cppcould be extended to ship multiple CGAL trees in a single image; not done yet.sanitizers.shonly instruments the fast (non-CGAL) test suite — the CGAL templates are too expensive to compile under instrumentation on most laptops.clang-tidy.shrequires a.clang-tidyconfig in the repo root; the default Anthropic-quality lint set is intentionally minimal until the reviewer signs off on the warning policy.reproducible-build.shchecks the test executables only. The library is header-only, so there is nothing else to compare.
