FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce C17/C23 best practices in my C project?

C17/C23 best practices are enforced through automated linting with cppcheck and clang-tidy, combined with modern build systems like CMake or Make. This Skill configures these tools to catch code quality issues, maintain standards compliance, and keep your toolchain versions current across GCC and Clang.

Can I use Unity testing framework with CMake and Make builds?

Yes. This Skill integrates Unity test framework with both CMake and Make build systems, enabling deterministic test workflows with minimum 85% coverage requirements. Tests run automatically during builds and are triggered by SPEC implementations for continuous validation.

What's the best way to set up linting and testing in a C project?

Initialize your C project with cppcheck for static analysis and Unity for test-driven development, then configure CMake or Make to run both automatically. This Skill automates that setup, enforcing quality gates and documentation of public APIs while detecting language standards compliance.

Does cppcheck work with both GCC and Clang toolchains?

Yes. Cppcheck runs independently of your compiler choice and works with both GCC and Clang. This Skill maintains a tooling matrix that keeps both compilers and cppcheck configurations synchronized, ensuring consistent linting results across your build environment.

How do I migrate legacy C code to C17/C23 standards?

This Skill provides migration guidance through cppcheck analysis and clang-tidy recommendations, identifying code patterns that conflict with C17/C23 standards. Automated code reviews flag issues and suggest modern alternatives while maintaining test coverage throughout the transition.

What test coverage requirements does this enforce?

This Skill enforces a minimum of 85% test coverage and integrates with moai-foundation quality gates. Coverage is validated automatically during builds and documented alongside public API specifications to ensure maintainability and reliability.
