A VS Code extension that performs static analysis on Miranda source files, grouping diagnostics into three configurable quality profiles.

Features

Pattern Coverage

Detects functions with multiple equations that may have missing catch-all patterns or redundant duplicate patterns:

  • Missing catch-all: warns when a multi-equation function has no wildcard (_) or variable catch-all, meaning some inputs may be unmatched at runtime.
  • Redundant patterns: warns when a literal pattern appears more than once in the same function, making later equations unreachable.

Style

Checks for common style issues:

  • Function names that don't follow camelCase (starting with lowercase).
  • Type constructor names that don't start with uppercase (PascalCase).
  • Trailing whitespace on any line.
  • Lines exceeding 100 characters.
  • Mixed tabs and spaces in indentation.

Documentation

Flags functions and type definitions that lack a preceding comment:

  • Functions with a type signature (::) and no || comment above them.
  • Type definitions (::=) with no || comment above them.

A tree view in the Explorer panel shows a per-profile summary for the active Miranda file in real time:

  • Each profile shows a ✓ (no issues) or ✗ N (issue count).
  • Total issue count at the bottom.

Usage

  1. Open any file with a .m or .mira extension — analysis runs automatically on open, save, and edit.
  2. Issues appear in the Problems panel (View > Problems) with their profile label ([Pattern Coverage], [Style], [Documentation]).
  3. The Miranda Code Quality panel in the Explorer sidebar shows the per-profile summary.
  4. Run Miranda: Analyze Current File from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to trigger a manual analysis.

Configuration

All profiles can be toggled independently in Settings (miranda-code-quality.*):

Setting Default Description
mirandaCodeQuality.enablePatternCoverage true Enable pattern coverage analysis
mirandaCodeQuality.enableStyle true Enable style checks
mirandaCodeQuality.enableDocumentation true Enable documentation checks

  • VS Code 1.85 or later.
