Re: [cdt-dev] Codan evolution
|
Sorry for late reply I was away. Thanks for your interest in the framework.
Please continue with the bugzilla items, it is easier to track. If you
want to make contributions such as
checkers or frameworks parts such as scripting support it is always
welcome. Computation complexity
is one of the possible parameters we can add, enter a enhancement
request please.

Hello
I just opened 2 issues on Codan - still it's still in a beta state, maybe
I should have posted stuff here directly
Let me say Codan is a very exciting project - using the current version, I
was quickly able to write naming convention rules in almost no time and
run that on small projects - very amazing
I saw in the "Future work" section from the design paper that it's planned
to have a "User defined checker's preferences" - I know that at least one
commercial C++ code static analyser tool integrated into Eclipse is useing
custom rules written in Python, while Dehydra (not in Eclipse this one)
was using Javascript rules.
I was thinking, would you be interested by an engine to run scripted rules
? I'm thinking of the groovy language that would let experienced
developers reuse the existing Javadoc and the powerful Eclipse
integration to write complex rules (with search inside index, etc.), while
users would just have to modify the existing rules (say, to change a
regexp for example). Big rules that do not require customization would
still be written in pure Java though
Besides, what would you say of a possibility to sort rules by "computation
complexity" ? Some basic naming convention rules are easy to compute, but
some complex rules (say, memory leak) may take time and you don't expect
to have them launched each time you're pressing a key.
BTW, could we have the "Run Code Analysis" action running away from the UI
thread ?
Regards
