laanwj efae252f30 test: Remove extended lint (cppcheck)
These are unreferenced in the CI and documentation, and have been since
2019 (see #17549).

I'm not sure the cppcheck is worthwhile. It takes a long time
to run (I think this is why it isn't in the normal lints), and right
now it only appears to find implicit constructors. The list of
exceptions is out of date. But if anyone wants to bring it back at any
time in the future they can do so from git history (and port it to Python).

This folder contains lint scripts.

check-doc.py

Check for missing documentation of command line options.

commit-script-check.sh

Verification of scripted diffs. Scripted diffs are only assumed to run on the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. Running them on other operating systems might require installing GNU tools, such as GNU sed.

git-subtree-check.sh

Run this script from the root of the repository to verify that a subtree matches the contents of the commit it claims to have been updated to.

Usage: test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh [-r] DIR [COMMIT]
       test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh -?
  • DIR is the prefix within the repository to check.
  • COMMIT is the commit to check, if it is not provided, HEAD will be used.
  • -r checks that subtree commit is present in repository.

To do a full check with -r, make sure that you have fetched the upstream repository branch in which the subtree is maintained:

To do so, add the upstream repository as remote:

git remote add --fetch secp256k1 https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git

lint-all.py

Calls other scripts with the lint- prefix.
