25 ;;; Commentary:
26
27 ;; This is a linter for Emacs Lisp. Currently, it mainly catches
28 ;; misspellings and undefined variables, although it can also catch
29 ;; function calls with the wrong number of arguments.
30
31 ;; To use, call elint-current-buffer or elint-defun to lint a buffer
32 ;; or defun. The first call runs `elint-initialize' to set up some
33 ;; argument data, which may take a while.
34
35 ;; The linter will try to "include" any require'd libraries to find
36 ;; the variables defined in those. There is a fair amount of voodoo
37 ;; involved in this, but it seems to work in normal situations.
38
39 ;;; To do:
40
41 ;; * Adding type checking. (Stop that sniggering!)
42 ;; * Make eval-when-compile be sensitive to the difference between
43 ;; funcs and macros.
44 ;; * Requires within function bodies.
45 ;; * Handle defstruct.
46 ;; * Prevent recursive requires.
