Wed Jul 28 14:34:05 CEST 2021
Vendors in Sparse as a git module. Then uses it to check for stores to
TST_RET/ERR within the library.

+# Sparse based linting
+
+This tool checks LTP test and library code for common problems.
+
+## Usage
+
+It is integrated with the LTP build system. Just run `make check` or
+`make check-a_test01`, where `a_test01` is an arbitrary test
+executable or object file.
+
+## Building
+
+The bad news is you must get and build Sparse[^1]. The good news is
+that this only takes a minute and the build system does it for
+you. Just try running `make check` as described above.
+
+However if you want to reuse an existing Sparse checkout. Then you can
+do the following. Where `$SRC_PATH` is the path to the Sparse
+directory.
+
+```sh
+$ cd tools/sparse
+$ make SPARSE_SRC=$SRC_PATH
+```
+You can also manually fetch it via the git submodule
+
+```sh
+$ cd tools/sparse
+$ git submodule update --init
+```
+
+### Modifying CFLAGS and -m32
+
+When compiling the LTP with `-m32` it may break building
+`sparse-ltp`. We do not pass LTP's `CFLAGS` or `HOST_CFLAGS` to
+`libsparse.a`. In the best case it produces a lot of noise, in the
+worst it breaks building anyway.
+
+To avoid issues with m32, just pre-build the checker with a non-m32
+config. It won't need to be built again unless you are modifying the
+tool itself. Similar issues with cross-compiling could be handled in a
+similar way. Simply pre-build `sparse-ltp` and `libsparse.a` with a separate
+config.
+
+### Clang
+
+Note that while it is possible to build Sparse with Clang. This may
+cause some issues. Namely `GCC_BASE` is set to the Clang resource
+directory. This contains some headers Sparse can not parse.
+
+[1]: Many distributions have a Sparse package. This only contains some executables. There is no shared library
