Static Analysis
- Bug Detection
There are many kinds of serious code flaws. Even if code can be compiled and is executable, it can be full of semantic issues. Dynamic testing can fail to uncover these issues. This makes the code fragile and prone to failure. Contrary to this, static analysis provides complete coverage and can detect type mismatches, incorrect variable usage, null-pointer dereferences, and more.
Find out more about typical findings for various code characteristics below.
Top Characteristics of PC-lint Plus
PC-lint Plus can identify thousands of issues in one go. This significantly increases the reliability of the code. And static analysis also has an impact on other characteristics of your code. Many famous software bugs could have been prevented through judicious static analysis. Identify defects during development instead of waiting for potentially catastrophic consequences in production.
Reliability
Typical findings:
- Syntax Errors that would prevent the code from compiling or running
- Improper operation order
- Semantic Errors, such as type mismatches or incorrect variable usage
- Null Pointer Dereferences, which can lead to runtime crashes
- Concurrency Issues, such as race conditions or deadlocks
Maintainability
Typical findings:
- Unused Variables or Code, identify unnecessary and potentially problematic elements
- Unreachable Code, can help clean up the code and improve its readability
- Code Style Violations, ensure consistent style and practices across the codebase
- Dubious constructs and substandard practices
- Complexity Analysis by measuring code complexity metrics, identifying overly complex or convoluted code that may be difficult to understand, test and maintain
Performance Efficiency
Typical findings:
- Resource Leaks, such as unclosed files or connections, by tracking the usage of resources in the code
Security
Typical findings:
- Out of bounds accesses
- Buffer overflows
- Injection vulnerabilities
- Many other coding practices that might lead to security vulnerabilities
PC-lint Plus
Certified for functional safety according to IEC 61508 and ISO26262
Suitable as a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool to detect security vulnerabilities at an early stage
