lslint is a tool to check the syntactic and semantic validity of Second Life LSL scripts.

Releases

See Releases for binaries. Latest release resides here.

Automated builds are available for:

• Linux (x86_64, x86)
• macOS (x86_64, ARM64)
• Windows (x86_64, x86)

Releases are automatically created when code is pushed to the master branch, and when builtin definitions are updated daily.

Versioning System

This project uses an automatic versioning system based on commit hashes:

lsl-{lsl_hash}-src-{src_hash}

Where:

• {lsl_hash} is the commit hash from secondlife/lsl-definitions
• {src_hash} is the commit hash from our source code

This ensures every release can be traced back to the exact state of both the LSL definitions and our source code.

Compiling

• make should be all that's required on POSIX systems, and a solution file exists for VS2015 on Windows.
• Win flex-bison as well as VS2015 or SDK7.0 or later are required for Windows build. See the comment in NMakefile for detailed instructions.

Automated Builds

GitHub Actions workflows handle:

• Test workflow: Runs on every push/PR to validate builds across all platforms
• Release workflow: Creates releases with binaries for all supported architectures when code is pushed to master
• Builtin update workflow: Daily checks for builtin definition updates and automatically creates releases when needed

Releases are automatically triggered by:

• Pushing code changes to the master branch
• Daily builtin definition updates (when changes are detected)

No manual tagging is required - every push to master creates a new release with the combined version identifier.

License

All code is public domain unless otherwise noted.

LSL scripts are from various sources and the property of their respective owners.

.l and .y files are based on samples provided by Linden Lab.

WARNING: lslint faithfully reproduced all the quirks of the LSL compiler circa ~2006, like having constants as lexer tokens, events as part of the parser grammar, and lots of right recursion. From a compiler perspective, it does everything wrong, and is not recommended as a base for anything but a lint tool.

Additional changes

Makopoppo

• added nmake support (see NMAkefile for details).
• dropped builtins.txt creator. if you look for new builtins.txt, see kwdb project
• enabled appending the input file path to the result lines by "-p".

Xenhat

• Makefile-less VS2015 support (more cpp hybridization was necessary)
  • Side effects includes x86_64 binary, x86 is possible still

Sei-Lisa

• added Mono mode (-m for Mono(default), -m- for LSO)
• added option to make the warning on unused event parameters optional (-u to enable, -u- to disable)
• added option to ignore preprocessor commands (-i)
• added switch() statement and lazy list support
• added god mode support
• added reporting of several errors and warnings
• numerous bug fixes and enhancements
