lint40 README

A C linter enforcing course coding standards with contract generation and dual-mode checking

Features

Two Modes: Draft mode (basic checks) and Review mode (submission-ready validation)
Style Enforcement: Curly braces spacing, 8-space indentation, operator spacing
Contract Generation: Auto-generate function and file headers with templates that include all necessary components and notes (for unexpected exits, memory allocation, etc)
Code Quality Checks: Prevent poor practices like global variables, excessive nesting, and style violations

Usage

3. Click the status bar to toggle between Draft/Review modes
4. Use Ctrl+Shift+P → "Generate Function Contract", "Generate File Header", or "Generate Struct Documentation" for templates
