I just learned TIOBE has a "quality indicator" and #curl is ranked D out of an A to F scale where A is best.
No further comments on that.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •okay, I'll repeat what I replied to the TIOBE person who told me about it:
"color me highly skeptical after just 30 seconds checking your scores of random curl details. I'm not sure it is worth bothering about."

"looking closer, I think it actually is borderline offensive. But you do what you do."

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •There is a germ of truth there, but they are misunderstanding in what contexts "reserved" identifiers may be used. Really a correct linter for C would report double underscore prefixed identifiers anywhere *except for the place they reported the message*. 😂
(Also there are more reserved identifiers than that.)

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •It's true that a lot of programmers take names without knowing about [lex.name]/3, and a lint for this is appropriate.
It's also true that the whole point of [lex.name]/3 is to create space for implementations to speak about themselves so naming __AMIGA__ is the whole *point*.

That said - what does it mean, and who uses that anyway?

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •I want to clarify that this scoring and site of course mean exactly NOTHING to me or us and it has no relevance at all.
But it shouldn't stop us from making fun of them.

Over the years I've come around to the position of treating metrics/ratings/certifications as basically useless unless I can be convinced otherwise, and this would be a prime example of why

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •I’ve never looked at their tool before. The first file I opened up was dinged for not having a copyright in the header block.
There was, of course, a copyright in the header block. Using exactly some of the words or characters they wanted you to use.
Not a good first impression of a tool.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Ah, the TICS score which in a corporate world is the ultimate middle manager's tool to have another completely useless KPI to determine "code quality."
Haven't had to use it in the past 10 years (phew!) but it obviously hasn't really changed.

in reply to gnarf • • •first, start by enabling as picky compiler warnings as possible and fix all those issues. Then throw clang-tidy / scan-build at it and they will report more. In curl we then use two commercial ones (free to use for open source): CodeSonar and Coverity, which often find additional issues.
Then recently we also use ZeroPath which finds an additional crazy amount of potential problems.
