Compiler Support

Highlights

• CodeSonar comes with a number of pre-installed compiler and compiler driver models.
• CodeSonar interprets the compilation by observing the build process, providing a deep syntactic knowledge of the code based on a unique compiler model for each vendor, e.g.,
  • What flags the code passes to the compiler.
  • What defines are passed along the command line.
  • What code will be included or ignored as a result of those defined.
• CodeSonar creates an entire syntax tree of every possible conditional statement that can be executed.
• Errors are displayed in the IDE code view and in the warning panels typically below the code view. Clicking on the warnings in any location brings you a new panel that provides more details on the error plus access to other parts of CodeSonar.
• The trace of the error is navigable within the CodeSonar panel and back to the code view. This greatly simplifies the analysis to determine the veracity of the warning.
