Updating to MLC v0.18.0 includes a new feature which will ignore all
files ignored by git: `--gitignore`.
This helps avoid false-positives flagged by this linter in non-project
files, such as a developer might expect to have in their directory (e.g.
guix-builds, python venvs, etc.)
This adds a markdown hyperlink check task to the lint test_runner. It
relies on having the [`mlc`](https://crates.io/crates/mlc) binary found
on $PATH, but will fail with `success` if the binary is not found.
`mlc` is also added to the ci/04_install.sh script run by the
containerfile.
Note that broken markdown hyperlinks will be detected in untracked
markdown files found in a dirty working directory (including e.g.
.venv).
fa09451f8e Add lint check for bitcoin-config.h include IWYU pragma (MarcoFalke)
dddd40ba82 scripted-diff: Add IWYU pragma keep to bitcoin-config.h includes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `bitcoin-config.h` includes have issues:
* The header is incompatible with iwyu, because symbols may be defined or not defined. So the `IWYU pragma: keep` is needed to keep the include when a symbol is not defined on a platform. Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29408#issuecomment-1948959711
* Guarding the includes by `HAVE_CONFIG_H` is verbose and brittle. Now that all build config dependencies have been removed from low level headers, the benefits are questionable, and the guard can be removed. The linter could also be tricked by guarding the include by `#if defined(HAVE_C0NFIG_H)` (`O` replaced by `0`). Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29404#discussion_r1483189853 .
