Function Error

cpplint.py:1844–1891

Logs the fact we've found a lint error. We log where the error was found, and also our confidence in the error, that is, how certain we are this is a legitimate style regression, and not a misidentification or a use that's sometimes justified. False positives can be suppressed by t

(filename, linenum, category, confidence, message)

    We log where the error was found, and also our confidence in the error,
    that is, how certain we are this is a legitimate style regression, and
    not a misidentification or a use that's sometimes justified.

    False positives can be suppressed by the use of "NOLINT(category)"
    comments, NOLINTNEXTLINE or in blocks started by NOLINTBEGIN.  These
    are parsed into _error_suppressions.

    Args:
      filename: The name of the file containing the error.
      linenum: The number of the line containing the error.
      category: A string used to describe the "category" this bug
        falls under: "whitespace", say, or "runtime".  Categories
        may have a hierarchy separated by slashes: "whitespace/indent".
      confidence: A number from 1-5 representing a confidence score for
        the error, with 5 meaning that we are certain of the problem,
        and 1 meaning that it could be a legitimate construct.
      message: The error message.
