Struct Linter 

pub struct Linter { /* private fields */ }

A compiled, ready-to-run rule set.

Implementations

impl Linter

pub fn new(config: Config, callbacks: &Callbacks) -> Result<Self, ConfigError>

Compiles a config into a linter, resolving every rule’s callback and parser against callbacks. Errors when a rule references a callback or parser that is not registered — patterns themselves were validated at config-load time.

pub fn rules(&self) -> &[Rule]

The global rules, in config order.

pub fn scopes(&self) -> &[Scope]

The scopes, in config order.

pub fn lint(&self, source: &str) -> Vec<Violation>

Lints one snapshot of a source file with the global rules only — scoped rules are ignored. Hits are sorted by position (then span end, then rule id) so output is deterministic regardless of rule order. Zero-width matches are skipped.

pub fn lint_in(&self, info: DocInfo<'_>, source: &str) -> Vec<Violation>

Like Linter::lint, with file path and language exposed to callbacks.

pub fn lint_segments( &self, source: &str, segments: &[(usize, Span)], ) -> Vec<Violation>

Lints pre-computed scope regions — the subpasses. segments are (scope index, region) pairs, typically from scopes::segment_all or a parse tree’s scoped nodes.

pub fn lint_segments_in( &self, info: DocInfo<'_>, source: &str, segments: &[(usize, Span)], ) -> Vec<Violation>

Like Linter::lint_segments, with file path and language exposed to callbacks.

pub fn lint_merged( &self, source: &str, segments: &[(usize, Span)], ) -> Vec<Violation>

Global rules plus scoped rules over segments, merged and sorted — one call for consumers that already have regions (e.g. a parse tree).

pub fn lint_merged_in( &self, info: DocInfo<'_>, source: &str, segments: &[(usize, Span)], ) -> Vec<Violation>

Like Linter::lint_merged, with file path and language exposed to callbacks.

pub fn lint_all(&self, source: &str) -> Vec<Violation>

Segments the source itself, then lints everything — the one-liner for CLI use.

pub fn lint_all_in(&self, info: DocInfo<'_>, source: &str) -> Vec<Violation>

Like Linter::lint_all, with file path and language exposed to callbacks.

pub fn lint_rule( &self, rule_id: &str, info: DocInfo<'_>, source: &str, ) -> Result<Vec<Violation>, String>

Runs a single rule over a source snapshot — global or scoped automatically, by where the rule lives. Unknown ids are an error. Used by declint test to exercise one rule’s fixtures.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Linter

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
