Tools for static check of C++ following rules of memory-safe-cpp
The memory-safe C++ (as defined at memory-safe-cpp) require of static checks and runtime checks. This project is intended to provide the tools for the static checks.
The static check tools are based on clang7 tooling AST. This means that any source code that is accepted by clang7 should be accepted by the tool. It also means that building the tool implies building big part of clang7.
Requirements:
- git
- Cmake
- Python 2.7 (Python 3 will not work)
- Visual Studio 2017 (C++)
Building clang based tools works better when source code is placed inside the llvm/clang source tree. Because of that, this repository has no code, but acts as the root place for checkout of llvm/clang source tree, and then checkout the repository with the tool code inside that.
The easy way is to checkout this project and then using checkout.bat, build.bat and test.bat scripts. But this require your PATH environment can access git, cmake, python 2.7 and Visual Studio Command Line. What I find the most convenient is to create a file build-env.bat that set ups the environment, and put it in this root folder (git will ignore it). Then double click on build-env.bat will pop up a console with the environment correctly set. Below is a sample, please update paths to reflect your system and needs.
title build
set PATH=C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;%PATH%
%ComSpec% /k ""C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat""
