RE: CF Coding Standards / validation / CFML pasring

I've been thinking about what a CFML parser has to do and man, it isn't all that easy... I'm not sure any .cfm file could be parsed properly without knowing the state of cfoutput before the file is (potentially) cfincluded. In other words, if you see some text like this is text#hi# and some more,

RE: CF Coding Standards / validation

Yeah, a good CF parser would definitely be needed. Does your parser handle CFCs? What language is it written in? To do coding standard validation you'd also need a flexible/configurable model for what rules to enforce, and that can be tricky too. Thanks Mark -Original Message-

RE: CF Coding Standards / validation

Yeah, there must be one but I haven't looked at it. They must be some issues with it though because there is an option to turn it off and I've seen it get pretty confused with strings with embedded quotes in them, for example. Thanks Mark -Original Message- From: Jaime Metcher

RE: CF Coding Standards / validation

What you say is true (only a programmer can know how a variable is used), but a warning generated if a variable is not explicitly scoped would help find the little oversights that can be a real pain to track down. I am of the opinion that all warnings in a program (java, for example) should be

RE: CF Coding Standards / validation

I am of the opinion that all warnings in a program (java, for example) should be tracked down and eliminated, even if the fix is just to disable the warning on the one method/line that is complaining (because it is right), but every one of them should be examined. For ever 100 warnings I get

Re: CF Coding Standards / validation

Hi Paul, next to the tool you're using (which I use myself as well) Railo allows you to turn of scope cascading which would then result in runtime errors and force the programmer to scope all unscoped variables (except for the variables scope). Next to the readability this as we all know

a tad OT now so I'll leave it there :-) Ok, you baited me! finally myObj.free; What if myObj gets passed out of the function ? That would be poor programming practice :-) Just like CF, Java and most other popular programming languages there are best practices for that language.
