Bug 27567 – False positives in namespace indentation checks

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Jakob Petsovits]

Yong Li discovered a false positive for the namespace indentation check in implementation files, triggered by this piece of code:

"""
namespace WebCore {

PlatformMenuDescriptionType::PlatformMenuDescriptionType()
    : hMenu(::CreatePopupMenu())
    , itemCount(0)
{
}
"""

It turns out that the regular expression skipping goto labels was too permissive, and thus treated the line with the constructor's signature as label, skipping it and (then correctly) causing the error for the indented second line. Not cool, sorry for that bug.

This patch improves on the concerned code, makes the unit tests more demanding, and fixes the bug. Please review!

Next time put more detail in the ChangeLog as you did in the bug report.

Also, I'd like a comment for the added regex.

Better patch, more verbosely describing what is being done. (No changes in functionality, though.)
