 | Critical The cxx plugin does not run any static analysis tools, thus all reports must be generated externally |
Here is a quick guide how to generate the reports using external tools
cppcheck
Make sure to pass all include directories as otherwise the analysis will be incomplete. Caveat: cppcheck writes the output to the standard error.
| Rule Extensions Extension of cppcheck rules is possible by using [sonar instal dir]/extensions/rules/cppcheck. See Extending Rules in C++ Analysers on how to create the rules |
Updated Rules
| Version | Rules |
|---|---|
| 1.58 | <rule> <key>redundantCopy</key> <configkey>redundantCopy</configkey> <name>Buffer 'var' is being written before its old content has been used</name> <description> Buffer 'var' is being written before its old content has been used. </description> </rule> |
Valgrind
Just tell valgrind to generate XML output. The 'tool' option isn't necessary as 'memcheck' is the default one. Make sure the binaries contain debug info.
| Rule Extensions Extension of valgrind rules is possible by using [sonar instal dir]/extensions/rules/valgrind. See Extending Rules in C++ Analysers on how to create the rules |
Vera++
The generation of vera++ reports is somewhat more tricky. We find all the files we want to be analysed, pipe this list into vera++ and pipe its output into a Perl script which finally generates the required XML.
| Rule Extensions Extension of vera++ rules is possible by using [sonar instal dir]/extensions/rules/vera++. See Extending Rules in C++ Analysers on how to create the rules |
RATS
| Rule Extensions Extension of rats rules is possible by using [sonar instal dir]/extensions/rules/rats. See Extending Rules in C++ Analysers on how to create the rules |
Pc-Lint
Please refer to product page (Official Site)
| Rules for this tool are disabled by default, so they need to be enabled in the relevant quality profile before they can be imported into sonar |
| Rule Extensions Extension of pclint rules is possible by using [sonar instal dir]/extensions/rules/pclint. See Extending Rules in C++ Analysers on how to create the rules |
