pre-commit

#!/bin/sh

# Usage: add this file to your project's .git/hooks directory. Rename it to
# just 'pre-commit' and make it executable.
# Now, when you change some files in repository and try to commit these
# changes, git will run this script right before commit.
# 
# This script checks:
# C/C++ files with cppcheck
# XML files with xmllint
#
# It scans changed/new files in repository. If it finds some issues, script returns with
# exit code 1, rejecting commit. Otherwise, script returns 0, and you can
# actually commit your changes.
#
# Example:
# $ cat hello.c
# int main() {
#    int *s = malloc(10);
# }
# $ git add hello.c
# $ git commit
# Checking hello.c...
# [hello.c:3]: (error) Memory leak: s
# [hello.c:2]: (error) The allocated size 10 is not a multiple of the underlying type's size.
#
# $ vim hello.c
# $ cat hello.c
# int main() {
# }
# $ git add hello.c
# $ git commit
# Checking hello.c...
# $
