3.15.2 Validation Warnings
Some possible problems with SCCS files are not definitively
errors. In these situations, val
will emit a warning message
but the validation will not fail (that is, if there are no other
problems the return value will be zero). An explanation of the
possible warnings appears below.
- WARNING: date for version 1.1 is later than the date for version 1.2
- This message indicates that a delta exists in the history file where
the "parent" delta has a delta creation time which is later than the
creation time of the "child" delta. This is a warning only because the
delta creation time is measured in local time, and so if two
developers with different time locale settings both edit the file in a
short period of time, this can happen. If all the developers who
create deltas in a history file use the same timezone settings, this
should not happen.
- Unknown special comment intro
- This message is displayed when a "c" control line is seen in the
body of the SCCS file in which the initial "c" is not followed
immediately by a space. Lines of this type are used as an extension
mechanism by some other SCCS implementations, notably the
BitKeeper suite, and CSSC knows about this, but if it sees
a construction it doesn't recognise, this warning is issued.
