Prefer runtime-configurable values over hardcoded constants to allow users to customize behavior without recompilation. Use environment variables with `os.getenv_opt()` for runtime configuration instead of compile-time constants with `$d()`, and consider environment variables instead of complex CLI parsing.
Prefer runtime-configurable values over hardcoded constants to allow users to customize behavior without recompilation. Use environment variables with os.getenv_opt()
for runtime configuration instead of compile-time constants with $d()
, and consider environment variables instead of complex CLI parsing.
Why this matters:
How to apply:
// Instead of hardcoded constants:
const indexexpr_cutoff = 10
// Use runtime-configurable defaults:
const indexexpr_cutoff = os.getenv_opt('VET_INDEXEXPR_CUTOFF') or { '10' }.int()
// For buffer sizes and similar values:
const buff_size = int($d('gg_text_buff_size', 2048))
// Instead of complex CLI parsing for tools:
// Use environment variables like VDIFF_TOOL, VTMP_DIR, etc.
This approach allows users to customize behavior with simple commands like VET_INDEXEXPR_CUTOFF=99 v vet .
without requiring recompilation or complex flag combinations.
