Detect missing spaces before control-statement parentheses at column zero or after whitespace. Preserve comments as token separators, ignore strings and conditional directives, and retain diagnostics in macro bodies. Add regressions, updated Codelite output, and a changelog entry.

Fixes #226.

Validation: Python 3.14 and 3.15 each pass 480 tests with five Windows platform skips. Python 3.14 coverage is 96.75%; pylint, mypy, and scoped hooks pass. The line-ending check ran read-only for this Windows checkout.

Walkthrough

cpplint now detects missing spaces before if, for, while, and switch parentheses when the keyword starts a line or follows whitespace. Tests cover matching and excluded cases. The changelog and recorded CodeLite sample output reflect the update.

Changes: Control-statement spacing detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expand spacing check and test coverage
cpplint.py, cpplint_unittest.py, CHANGELOG.rst
GetLineWithSpaceForComments preserves spaces where comments appeared. CheckParenthesisSpacing checks control keywords at line start or after whitespace and skips preprocessor directives. Tests cover positive and excluded cases. The changelog records the detection update.
Refresh recorded sample lint output
samples/codelite-sample/simple.def
The recorded error total increases from 675 to 753. The output adds missing-space findings and updates some existing findings.

Explanation

[#226] CheckParenthesisSpacing now matches if(, for(, while(, and switch( at column zero or after whitespace. GetLineWithSpaceForComments preserves token separation when comments are removed. The preprocessor guard excludes #if( and #elif( forms. New parameterized tests cover column zero, whitespace prefixes, comments, strings, non-keywords, token-splitting comments, and conditional preprocessor directives.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within [#226]. cpplint.py implements the spacing detection and preprocessor exclusion. cpplint_unittest.py adds regressions and adjusts one existing input to isolate its alternate-token assertion. CHANGELOG.rst documents the fix. samples/codelite-sample/simple.def records the output changes caused by the new rule. No unrelated functional change is shown.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Review comments at @cpplint.py:
- Line 4551: Update the spacing check near the `re.search` call to inspect the
original spacing before comments are removed, while still ignoring comments and
string contents. Ensure `if /* reason */(condition)` is recognized as having a
space after `if` and does not trigger a missing-space report.
