Closes #396.

rainix-static comment-loc-cap: fails when comment lines exceed twice the code lines, summed over every tracked file under the given paths (default src test). One aggregate cap, strict: at twice passes. On failure it prints the totals and every file's counts, heaviest comment share first. Comment syntax by extension (// and /* */ for .sol/.rs/.ts/.js, # for .sh/.toml/.yaml, both for .nix); other extensions are not counted; a path set selecting no counted file is an error. Wired into rainix-sol-static as a step via the composite action .github/actions/comment-loc-cap, which callers can also use directly with a paths input.

Rust in rainix-static rather than shell, per this repo's rule against bash logic.

On rain.lib.leakybucket at 06baa59:

comment-loc-cap: clean — 13 files

QA

  • Discriminating tests: 16 unit tests in comment_loc_cap.rs (line classification per syntax, trailing and block comments, string literals holding markers, the 2:1 boundary at 6/3 vs 7/3, totals reported with every file, a file over on its own passing when the aggregate is under, empty path set, outside git) and 6 bats cases against the action script and the built binary. All pass inside the nix build and the devshell.
  • Mutations applied: none.
  • Oracle: hand-counted fixtures (Over.sol 7/2 + Ok.sol 1/1 = 8 against a cap of 6 fails; add 3 code lines and 8 against 12 passes).
  • Category check: Cap comment lines at twice code lines, in aggregate, in shared CI #396 asks for one aggregate comment cap at 2:1 in shared CI. Covered. Not covered: extensions beyond the listed ones are skipped, not counted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a repository-wide comment-to-code limit check for tracked source files, with failure when comments exceed twice the code lines.
    • The check now reports overall totals and per-file counts on failure, and supports selecting which directories to scan.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Blank lines are ignored, code lines with trailing comments count as code, and files with unsupported extensions are skipped.
    • A scan that matches no tracked files now returns an error instead of passing silently.
  • Documentation

    • Updated workflow and README guidance to reflect the new aggregate limit and scanning options.

`rainix-static comment-loc-cap` fails when any tracked file under the given
paths has more comment lines than code lines, per file, strict, printing
every offender with both counts. Wired into rainix-sol-static as a step via
the composite action .github/actions/comment-loc-cap.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rainix-static command now checks whether comment lines across selected tracked source files exceed twice the total code lines. The composite action and Solidity static workflow use this check. Documentation and tests describe and verify the aggregate rule.

Unlike C, Rust block comments nest: `/* outer /* inner */ still outer */` is a single, correctly-closed comment — the compiler tracks nesting depth rather than closing at the first `*/` encountered. This makes it safe to comment out a chunk of code that itself already contains a block comment. ### Nested block comments ``` fn main() { /* <- this is a block comment: everything up to the matching closing delimiter is ignored, even across multiple lines */ let x = 5; /* nesting works: /* an inner comment */ doesn&`#39`;t end the outer one early */ println!("{x}"); } ``` Restriction: the opening `/*` and closing `*/` must both be present — an unterminated block comment is a compile error, unlike a line comment which simply ends at the newline. ### Testing While tracking down a failing test, it&`#39`;s common to temporarily comment out a whole test function to isolate the problem. `/* */`&`#39`;s nesting is what makes this safe even when the test body already contains its own comments — a plain `//`-based approach would require commenting out every line individually. ``` /* #[test] fn flaky_retry_logic() { // this test intermittently fails on slow CI runners — disabled // while investigating; see issue tracker let result = retry_with_backoff(3); assert!(result.is_ok()); } */ // <- the whole block above (including its own // comments) is inert; // because /* */ nests, any *balanced* inner /* ... */ pair in the // disabled code can&`#39`;t accidentally close this wrapper early #[test] fn stable_retry_logic() { assert_eq!(retry_with_backoff(0), Ok(())); } ``` Note the limit of the nesting guarantee: an unmatched stray `*/` in the disabled code (say, inside a string literal) still closes the wrapper at that point — nesting only protects properly paired inner comments. This is a deliberately temporary debugging aid, not a substitute for `#[ignore]` — once the investigation is done, either fix the test or mark it properly with `#[ignore = "reason"]` so it still shows up (as skipped) in `cargo test` output instead of silently vanishing from the codebase. ## Explanation Embedded support: Full `/* ... */` is unchanged in embedded Rust: a lexical construct fully stripped before compilation, so it costs nothing on a target with no `std`, no heap, and no OS. Its nesting property is genuinely useful in firmware work, where large chunks of register-twiddling or interrupt setup code get commented out wholesale while bringing up new hardware. ### Disabling an interrupt handler during bring-up Commenting out a whole `#[interrupt]` handler while debugging a board&`#39`;s power sequencing is exactly the case `/* */`&`#39`;s nesting protects — the handler body already has its own `/* */`-free `//` comments, but if it contained a block comment of its own, nesting would still keep this outer one i…[truncated] <title>Comments - Rust By Example</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/hello/comment.html Comments - Rust By Example ## Keyboard shortcuts Press ← or → to navigate between chapters Press S or / to search in the book Press ? to show this help Press Esc to hide this help - Auto - Light - Rust - Coal - Navy - Ayu # Rust By Example Any program requires comments, and Rust supports a few different varieties: ## Regular Comments These are ignored by the compiler: - Line comments: Start with`//` and continue to the end of the line - Block comments: Enclosed in`/* ... */` and can span multiple lines ## Documentation Comments (Doc Comments) which are parsed into HTML library documentation: - `///`- Generates docs for the item that follows it - `//!`- Generates docs for the enclosing item (typically used at the top of a file or module) ``` fn main() { // Line comments start with two slashes. // Everything after the slashes is ignored by the compiler. // Example: This line won&`#39`;t execute // println!("Hello, world!"); // Try removing the slashes above and running the code again. /* * Block comments are useful for temporarily disabling code. * They can also be nested: /* like this */ which makes it easy * to comment out large sections quickly. */ /* Note: The asterisk column on the left is just for style - it&`#39`;s not required by the language. */ // Block comments make it easy to toggle code on/off by adding // or removing just one slash: /* <- Add a &`#39`;/&`#39`; here to uncomment the entire block below println!("Now"); println!("everything"); println!("executes!"); // Line comments inside remain unaffected // */ // Block comments can also be used within expressions: let x = 5 + /* 90 + */ 5; println!("Is `x` 10 or 100? x = {}", x); } ``` ### See also: <title>Grammar summary - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/grammar.html ## Lexer summary Lexer COMMENT → LINE_COMMENT | INNER_LINE_DOC | OUTER_LINE_DOC | INNER_BLOCK_DOC | OUTER_BLOCK_DOC | BLOCK_COMMENT ...

Handle nested Rust block comments.

Rust supports nested /* ... */ comments. The .rs path currently uses Syntax::CStyle, whose single in_block flag clears at the first */. The scanner then classifies the remaining outer-comment lines as code. This undercounts comments and can let an over-cap Rust file pass.

Add a Rust-specific block-comment mode that tracks nesting depth. Keep the current single-level behavior for non-Rust syntaxes.

Preserve multiline literal state in count.

count discards literal state at the end of each line. A valid JavaScript or TypeScript template literal can therefore turn a line beginning with // into a counted comment. A valid Nix indented string can do the same with a line beginning with #.

When the resulting comment count exceeds the code count, comment-loc-cap reports the file and exits with status 1. Track template-literal state for JS/TS and '' indented-string state for Nix. Handle each syntax separately, including its delimiter and escape rules. Add regression cases for both forms.

@thedavidmeister thedavidmeister changed the title ci: cap comment lines at code lines per source file ci: cap comment lines at twice code lines, in aggregate Sep 22, 2026
The cap is a single total over the scanned files, comment lines at most
twice code lines, rather than a per-file bound. Failure prints the totals
and every file's counts.
