C++ Style Checker Tool
The C++ Style Checker tool performs a variety of programming style check on C++ software source code bases of arbitrary size. It is a member of Semantic Designs' family of Style Checker tools.
C++ Style Checker Features
- Dialects: ANSI (ISO14882c1998), GNU GCC 3/4, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. (Inquire about C++0x!)
- Works with arbitrary subsets of source code base
- Can handle tens of thousands of files
- Can style check C++ programs with #includes enabled or disabled
- Can style check freestanding #include files
- Supports user choice of style checking rules to be applied
- Diagnostics described at two levels of detail and annotated with severity
- Diagnostics include diagnosis of:
- dead code identification
- unreferenced data declarations
- adherence to naming conventions for various types of entities
- violation of commenting conventions
- use of C++ constructs that are archaic or result in fragile code
- a variety of other checks
- Warnings issued when proposed modifications involve copylibs
- Produces a text report illustrating the nature and location of errors and suggesting repairs
- Produces an XML report with the same content, and includes an XSLT script (which you can customize) for transforming to HTML
- Produces a statistical summary of the diagnostics, collating total diagnostics by rule and by file, and collating each file's diagnostic by rule
- Style Checker can run on platform separate from target system execution platform
Other C++ dialects, site-specific customizations, and standards such as MISRA can be accommodated.
Semantic Designs also provides other C++ Tools.
