EPITA C Coding Style Checker - validates C code against EPITA coding standards

EPITA C Coding Style Checker

A fast C linter for EPITA coding style rules. Uses tree-sitter for robust AST-based parsing.

Installation

pipx install epita-coding-style

Usage

epita-coding-style <path>              # Check files/directories
epita-coding-style src/ --preset 42sh  # Use relaxed preset
epita-coding-style src/ --config style.toml  # Use config file
epita-coding-style --list-rules        # List all rules

Configuration

Default: Strict EPITA rules (30 lines max, goto/cast banned).

Presets

epita-coding-style --preset 42sh src/  # Relaxed: 40 lines, goto/cast allowed

Config File

Create .epita-style.toml in your project root:

max_lines = 40
max_args = 4
max_funcs = 10

[rules]
"keyword.goto" = false
"cast" = false

Or in pyproject.toml:

[tool.epita-coding-style]
max_lines = 40

[tool.epita-coding-style.rules]
"keyword.goto" = false

CLI Options

clang-format

The format rule uses clang-format to check code formatting. Requires clang-format to be installed.

The checker looks for .clang-format in the file's directory (walking up to root), or uses the bundled EPITA config.

To disable: set "format" = false in your config.
