From bb4b11cf982008f6005eceb3e3bf7a8372159c28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Evans Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 05:21:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] style.lua(9): Clarify local variable guideline The intent of this guideline is to avoid creating global variables in module scope. Its main purpose is to serve as a reminder that variables at module scope also need to be declared. We want to avoid global variables in general, but this is easier to mess up when designing things in the module scope. --- share/man/man9/style.lua.9 | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/share/man/man9/style.lua.9 b/share/man/man9/style.lua.9 index 7733f9f5474..c1119fe6014 100644 --- a/share/man/man9/style.lua.9 +++ b/share/man/man9/style.lua.9 @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ .\" .\" $FreeBSD$ .\" -.Dd February 19, 2018 +.Dd February 20, 2018 .Dt STYLE.LUA 9 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ should be done explicitly, rather than as a boolean expression.
