CodingStyle-NoWhitespacePointerReference

Whitespace rule in declarations before (or after) * or &

Required inputs: IR

There should never be a whitespace between the type and * or & in declarations. With option report_after_sigil also whitespace between * or & and identifier is reported. Whitespace between the type and a left parenthesis is not checked. The other options actually support to require some whitespace or exactly one space.

Possible Messages

Key	Text	Severity	Disabled
no_single_space_between	Use single space between {}.	None	False
no_whitespace_between	Add whitespace between {}.	None	False
space_in_sigil	Remove space in {}.	None	False
whitespace_between	Avoid whitespace between {}.	None	False

report_after_sigil

report_after_sigil : bool = False

Report whitespace between * or & and identifier.

 

report_at_token

Report position more accurately, i.e. at the type token. This option also reports spaces, i.e. for * *, more precise.

 

report_before_sigil

report_before_sigil : bool = True

Report whitespace between type and * or &.

 

require_single_space_after

require_single_space_after : bool = False

Require a single space after * or &. If true, supersedes require_space_after.

 

require_single_space_before

require_single_space_before : bool = False

Require a single space before * or &. If true, supersedes require_space_before.

 

require_space_after

require_space_after : bool = False

Report a missing space after * or &.

 

require_space_before

require_space_before : bool = False

Report a missing space before * or &.
