FAQPage Schema

How do I run static analysis on C/C++ code for embedded systems?▼

To run static analysis on C/C++ code for embedded systems, provide your source code directory path. The analysis uses cppcheck, clang-tidy, and GCC analyzer to identify potential defects before code commit.

What is MISRA-C 2012 compliance checking for C/C++ source code?▼

MISRA-C 2012 compliance checking validates C/C++ source code against industry standards. It ensures embedded system code quality by detecting standard violations during the static analysis process.

Do I need to install cppcheck and clang-tidy to analyze C/C++ code?▼

Yes, you need cppcheck, clang-tidy, and arm-none-eabi-gcc installed. This static analysis requires these specific tools to be present in your environment to perform automated defect detection.

Can I use GCC analyzer for static analysis on embedded C++ projects?▼

Yes, you can use the GCC analyzer for static analysis on embedded C++ projects. It works alongside cppcheck and clang-tidy to uncover defects and ensure code adheres to industry standards.

What is the best way to check C/C++ code quality before a commit?▼

The best way to check C/C++ code quality before a commit is running static analysis on your source directory. This uncovers potential defects and verifies MISRA-C 2012 compliance using cppcheck and clang-tidy.

Why does static analysis require project-specific configurations for embedded systems?▼

Static analysis requires project-specific configurations for embedded systems to accurately validate code against standards like MISRA-C 2012. Optional configurations help tailor cppcheck and clang-tidy checks to your environment.
