Vet uses heuristics that do not guarantee all reports are genuine problems, but it can find errors not caught by the compilers. +Its exit code is 2 for erroneous invocation of the tool, 1 if a +problem was reported, and 0 otherwise. Note that the tool does not +check every possible problem and depends on unreliable heuristics +so it should be used as guidance only, not as a firm indicator of +program correctness. + By default all checks are performed, but if explicit flags are provided, only those identified by the flags are performed. |
