描述

This is a feature request for a new setting for LLS which would not diagnose unused-local for variables which are parameters of a function. Something like

"Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExcludeFuncParam": true

The reason I'd like this feature is because we have a Lua codebase that heavily relies on something similar to virtual functions, where there are many tables that have functions defined that share the same name and list of parameters, but some of these functions don't need to use all of the parameters. Think of something like this

function menu1:on_select_item(item, mouse_button) do_something_with_item(item) end
function menu2:on_select_item(item, mouse_button) do_something_with_mouse_button(mouse_button) end

Of course this could be changed to appeal to the current unused-local diagnostics by changing it to

function menu1:on_select_item(item) do_something_with_item(item) end
function menu2:on_select_item(_, mouse_button) do_something_with_mouse_button(mouse_button) end

but, besides doing the fixup being a lot of work, it makes maintenance of the code base worse because a programmer can't easily know anymore what those _ parmeters are supposed to be. Another alternative would be to add all known function parameter names to "Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExclude" (introduced via #619) but of course that also would be sub-optimal, because ignoring generic names like item could defeat the purpose of the diagnostic.

Besides function parameters, having an option to ignore for-loop variables would also be very neat. It's often easier there to substitute the name for _ but still, sometimes that loses important information on what the key/value of a for-loop over pairs(...) is. So something like

"Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExcludeForLoopVars": true

would also be very appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration, and of course for making LLS, it's awesome!

调研方向

首先定位 unused-local 诊断和现有的 Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExclude 设置。确定如何识别函数参数和 for 循环变量,然后定义并测试所请求的两个选项,使启用的设置只抑制这些诊断,同时继续报告其他未使用的局部变量。
