"""
Best-practices tracker for Tor source code.

Go through the various .c files and collect metrics about them. If the metrics
violate some of our best practices and they are not found in the optional
exceptions file, then log a problem about them.

We currently do metrics about file size, function size and number of includes.

practracker.py should be run with its second argument pointing to the Tor
top-level source directory like this:
  $ python3 ./scripts/maint/practracker/practracker.py .

To regenerate the exceptions file so that it allows all current
problems in the Tor source, use the --regen flag:
  $ python3 --regen ./scripts/maint/practracker/practracker.py .

# Welcome to the exceptions file for Tor's best-practices tracker!
#
# Each line of this file represents a single violation of Tor's best
# practices -- typically, a violation that we had before practracker.py
# first existed.
#
# There are three kinds of problems that we recognize right now:
#   function-size -- a function of more than {MAX_FUNCTION_SIZE} lines.
#   file-size -- a file of more than {MAX_FILE_SIZE} lines.
#   include-count -- a file with more than {MAX_INCLUDE_COUNT} #includes.
#
# Each line below represents a single exception that practracker should
# _ignore_. Each line has four parts:
#  1. The word "problem".
#  2. The kind of problem.
#  3. The location of the problem: either a filename, or a
#     filename:functionname pair.
#  4. The magnitude of the problem to ignore.
#
# So for example, consider this line:
#    problem file-size /src/core/or/connection_or.c 3200
#
# It tells practracker to allow the mentioned file to be up to 3200 lines
# long, even though ordinarily it would warn about any file with more than
# {MAX_FILE_SIZE} lines.
#
# You can either edit this file by hand, or regenerate it completely by
# running `make practracker-regen`.
#
# Remember: It is better to fix the problem than to add a new exception!
