That is fine with me, and I always intended that we turn the lint on by default at some point (I'm not really sure why we didn't -- looking at the list archives, I think I did not push it because it seemed like nobody was really that interested). Certainly the two existing checks are cheap and do not produce false positives, and should be safe to turn on. Like this: -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] tests: turn on test-lint by default The test Makefile knows about a few "lint" checks for common errors. However, they are not enabled as part of "make test" by default, which means that many people do not bother running them. Since they are both quick to run and accurate (i.e., no false positives), there should be no harm in turning them on and helping submitters catch errors earlier. We could just set: TEST_LINT = test-lint to enable all tests. But that would be unnecessarily annoying later on if we add slower or less accurate tests that should not be part of the default. Instead, we name the tests individually.
