Tool</h1>
<p>It is not uncommon for various common errors or
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm">guideline violations</a> to creep into the
Boost libraries. The <i>inspect</i> program detects and reports several common
problems. It can be used to scan a proposed Boost submission to identify various
failures.</p>
<p>The <i>inspect</i> program is written in C++ to limit tool chain
dependencies, and should be portable to any system.</p>
<p>The program is run in the directory to be scanned for errors. Sub-directories
are also included in the scan.</p>
<p>If the first program argument is <code>-help</code>, a usage message is
displayed, showing all available program options.</p>
<p>The program sources include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="inspector.hpp">inspect.hpp</a> and <a href="inspect.cpp">
inspect.cpp</a></li>
<li><a href="link_check.hpp">link_check.hpp</a> and <a href="link_check.cpp">
link_check.cpp</a></li>
<li><a href="path_name_check.hpp">path_name_check.hpp</a> and
<a href="path_name_check.cpp">path_name_check.cpp</a></li>
<li><a href="tab_check.hpp">tab_check.hpp</a> and <a href="tab_check.cpp">
tab_check.cpp</a></li>
</ul>
<p>A <a href="build/Jamfile.v2">Jamfile</a> is provided to build the program
using Boost.Build.</p>
<p>A Microsoft Visual Studio solution file is provided to aid maintenance. See
<a href="build/msvc/readme.txt">readme.txt</a>
before using it.</p>
