+# Here are some issues that I've had people identify in my code during reviews,
+# that I think are possible to flag automatically in a lint tool.  If these were
+# caught by lint, it would save time both for myself and that of my reviewers.
+# Most likely, some of these are beyond the scope of the current lint framework,
+# but I think it is valuable to retain these wish-list items even if they cannot
+# be immediately implemented.
+#
+#  Suggestions
+#  -----------
+#  - Check for no 'explicit' for multi-arg ctor
+#  - Check for boolean assign RHS in parens
+#  - Check for ctor initializer-list colon position and spacing
+#  - Check that if there's a ctor, there should be a dtor
+#  - Check accessors that return non-pointer member variables are
+#    declared const
+#  - Check accessors that return non-const pointer member vars are
+#    *not* declared const
+#  - Check for using public includes for testing
+#  - Check for spaces between brackets in one-line inline method
+#  - Check for no assert()
+#  - Check for spaces surrounding operators
+#  - Check for 0 in pointer context (should be NULL)
+#  - Check for 0 in char context (should be '\0')
+#  - Check for camel-case method name conventions for methods
+#    that are not simple inline getters and setters
+#  - Check that base classes have virtual destructors
+#    put "  // namespace" after } that closes a namespace, with
+#    namespace's name after 'namespace' if it is named.
+#  - Do not indent namespace contents
+#  - Avoid inlining non-trivial constructors in header files
+#    include base/basictypes.h if DISALLOW_EVIL_CONSTRUCTORS is used
+#  - Check for old-school (void) cast for call-sites of functions
+#    ignored return value
+#  - Check gUnit usage of anonymous namespace
+#  - Check for class declaration order (typedefs, consts, enums,
+#    ctor(s?), dtor, friend declarations, methods, member vars)

+The goal of this script is to identify places in the code that *may*
+be in non-compliance with google style.  It does not attempt to fix
+up these problems -- the point is to educate.  It does also not
+attempt to find all problems, or to ensure that everything it does
+find is legitimately a problem.
+
+In particular, we can get very confused by /* and // inside strings!
+We do a small hack, which is to ignore //'s with "'s after them on the
+same line, but it is far from perfect (in either direction).

+Syntax: cpplint.py [--verbose=#] [--output=vs7] [--filter=-x,+y,...]
+                   [--counting=total|toplevel|detailed]
+        <file> [file] ...
+
+  The style guidelines this tries to follow are those in
+    http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml
+
+  Every problem is given a confidence score from 1-5, with 5 meaning we are
+  certain of the problem, and 1 meaning it could be a legitimate construct.
+  This will miss some errors, and is not a substitute for a code review.
+
+  To suppress false-positive errors of a certain category, add a
+  'NOLINT(category)' comment to the line.  NOLINT or NOLINT(*)
+  suppresses errors of all categories on that line.
+
+  The files passed in will be linted; at least one file must be provided.
+  Linted extensions are .cc, .cpp, and .h.  Other file types will be ignored.
+
+  Flags:
+
+    output=vs7
+      By default, the output is formatted to ease emacs parsing.  Visual Studio
+      compatible output (vs7) may also be used.  Other formats are unsupported.
+
+    verbose=#
+      Specify a number 0-5 to restrict errors to certain verbosity levels.
+
+    filter=-x,+y,...
+      Specify a comma-separated list of category-filters to apply: only
+      error messages whose category names pass the filters will be printed.
+      (Category names are printed with the message and look like
+      "[whitespace/indent]".)  Filters are evaluated left to right.
+      "-FOO" and "FOO" means "do not print categories that start with FOO".
+      "+FOO" means "do print categories that start with FOO".
+
+      Examples: --filter=-whitespace,+whitespace/braces
+                --filter=whitespace,runtime/printf,+runtime/printf_format
+                --filter=-,+build/include_what_you_use
+
+      To see a list of all the categories used in cpplint, pass no arg:
+         --filter=
+
+    counting=total|toplevel|detailed
+      The total number of errors found is always printed. If
+      'toplevel' is provided, then the count of errors in each of
+      the top-level categories like 'build' and 'whitespace' will
+      also be printed. If 'detailed' is provided, then a count
+      is provided for each category like 'build/class'.
+"""
+
+# We categorize each error message we print.  Here are the categories.
+# We want an explicit list so we can list them all in cpplint --filter=.
+# If you add a new error message with a new category, add it to the list
+# here!  cpplint_unittest.py should tell you if you forget to do this.
