NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::ProhibitUnrestrictedNoCritic - Forbid a bare "## no
       critic"

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       A bare "## no critic" annotation will disable all the active Policies.  This creates holes
       for other, unintended violations to appear in your code.  It is better to disable only the
       particular Policies that you need to get around.  By putting Policy names in a comma-
       separated list after the "## no critic" annotation, then it will only disable the named
       Policies.  Policy names are matched as regular expressions, so you can use shortened
       Policy names, or patterns that match several Policies. This Policy generates a violation
       any time that an unrestricted "## no critic" annotation appears.

           ## no critic                     # not ok
           ## no critic ''                  # not ok
           ## no critic ()                  # not ok
           ## no critic qw()                # not ok

           ## no critic   (Policy1, Policy2)  # ok
           ## no critic   (Policy1 Policy2)   # ok (can use spaces to separate)
           ## no critic qw(Policy1 Policy2)   # ok (the preferred style)

NOTE

       Unfortunately, Perl::Critic is very sloppy about parsing the Policy names that appear
       after a "##no critic" annotation.  For example, you might be using one of these broken
       syntaxes...

           ## no critic Policy1 Policy2
           ## no critic 'Policy1, Policy2'
           ## no critic "Policy1, Policy2"
           ## no critic "Policy1", "Policy2"

       In all of these cases, Perl::Critic will silently disable all Policies, rather than just
       the ones you requested.  But if you use the "ProhibitUnrestrictedNoCritic" Policy, all of
       these will generate violations.  That way, you can track them down and correct them to use
       the correct syntax, as shown above in the "DESCRIPTION".  If you've been using the syntax
       that is shown throughout the Perl::Critic documentation for the last few years, then you
       should be fine.

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
