Avinash Sridharan updated MESOS-4231:
-------------------------------------
Target Version/s: 0.27.0
> Add a new category to cpplint to detect missing white-space in comments
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-4231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4231
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Reporter: Avinash Sridharan
> Assignee: Avinash Sridharan
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> Currently we haven't turned on any rule in cpplint.py to detect a missing
> leading whitespace in comments. Newbies tend to make this mistake even while
> trying to follow the style guide.
> There is already a category in cpplint.py (whitespace/comments) to detect
> this, but it has the unfortunate side-affect of also tagging any trailing
> comments with less than 2 whitespaces between the code and the trailing
> comment as errors. This side-affect generates a lot of false-positives since
> trailing comments in mesos codebase usually has only a single white-space.
> Hence proposing adding a new category called whitespace/mesos-comments that
> takes care of the more common case of tagging comments with leading
> whitespace as errors.
