chore: assert that a symbol named in the docs exists - #795
Conversation
Adds the symbol arm to check_references.py, the seam #773 left for it. A SolidSyslog token in a page under docs/ must resolve to a symbol a public header declares, a file the repository holds, or a target its CMake declares. It found one live defect: the FreeRTOS setup page called SolidSyslogCircularBuffer_Create with a compound literal of a struct SolidSyslogCircularBufferConfig that has never existed. Fixed here, along with the sentence beneath it offering to leave the mutex unfilled, which the positional signature does not allow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

SYMBOL stopped at the colon, so `SolidSyslog::FreeRtos` extracted as bare `SolidSyslog` — a real target — and resolved with the half that names the pack never looked at. Any `SolidSyslog::Anything` passed. The pattern now takes the `::` segments as part of the token, and the target extractor keeps them too, so the aliases the platform pages tell integrators to link are matched whole against what CMake declares.

Purpose
Closes #740.
docs/names library symbols in prose and in fenced examples, and nothing asserted any of them existed. A page could name a symbol that was renamed, or invent one outright, build green undermkdocs build --strict, and hand an integrator who copied it an undefined-symbol error. #773 landedcheck_references.pywith the seam for this left open in its docstring; this fills it.Change Description
A second
KINDSrow, reusing the extraction pass and the exception list rather than adding a script. ASolidSyslog…token in a page underdocs/must resolve to one of three things, because a page has three legitimate reasons to write one: a symbol a public header declares, a file the repository holds, or a target its CMake declares. Public headers only — an integrator can call nothing else, so a wider corpus would let a page offer an internal function as though it were API.Extraction is narrow, matching the path kind's philosophy:
../api/SolidSyslogConfig_8h.mdnames a generated page, which is the path kind's business. A word holding/drops for the same reason.<is a placeholder (SolidSyslogNull<Role>_Get) and names the pattern, not a class.docs/NAMING.mdmandates that spelling, so recognising it is cheaper than exempting every page that obeys.docs/only. The repository's own guides and READMEs name internal classes and build targets legitimately; checking them would be checking notes to ourselves.Two limits are stated in the docstring rather than worked around. A token naming the header where the function was meant resolves, because the file arm accepts it — this catches names that do not exist, not names used wrongly. And an example wrong in a way that invents no name (a transposed argument, a wrong type) passes; compiling the fenced examples is the larger and different check #740 keeps separate.
Exceptions. Ten
(file, token)rows, each naming an internal symbol a page quotes deliberately because it is explaining how the library is built rather than how it is called. Plus one new mechanism, used once:docs/NAMING.mdis exempted whole. It is a document about identifiers — rejected spellings, placeholders, shapes no file has yet — and produced 26 unresolved tokens. Twenty-six rows each saying so would be one fact written twenty-six times, and the extraction that produced them is not wrong. The docstring says to reach for this sparingly.The defect it found.
docs/platforms/freertos/setup.mdcalledSolidSyslogCircularBuffer_Createwith a compound literal of astruct SolidSyslogCircularBufferConfigcarrying.Senderand.Mutex. No such struct has ever existed; the signature is(mutex, ring, ringBytes)and the buffer takes no sender at all. Fixed, along with the sentence beneath offering to leave the mutex role unfilled — the positional signature does not allow that, so it now points atSolidSyslogNullMutex_Get(), as the header does.docs/NAMING.mdhad the correct signature all along, one page away.Test Evidence
scripts/has no unit-test harness (onlyhooks/does), so the tree is the fixture and the cycle ran against it:docs/platforms/freertos/setup.md:39 … SolidSyslogCircularBufferConfig. One true defect, no noise.every path named by 117 documents and build files exists, and every symbol named under docs/ resolves to one of 627 declared names.SolidSyslogConfig_Creat), and a symbol inside a fenced block are each caught with the right file and line; a placeholder, a file stem and a CMake target are each correctly accepted.feature/tls-rework, so the gate does not ambush the TLS work in flight.check_platform_docs.pyand markdownlint both clean.Areas Affected
scripts/check_references.py, itsdocs-buildCI step, anddocs/platforms/freertos/setup.md. No production code, no build behaviour. The check was already wired into the lane, so nothing new is required of CI.Summary by CodeRabbit
