[tools/GSoC] static code analysis?
Hi, would it be possible to provide a boost-tool or maybe a boost-GSoc project that enables static code analysis for boost developers? clang-tidy ( http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/) could be used for this purpose. Oliver

Sounds like a great GSoC project: Add clang-tidy, clang static analyser and MSVC static analyser support to Boost.Build and enable it for the regression matrix for the most common subset of Boost libraries. Would anybody like to mentor such a summer project? Niall --- Boost C++ Libraries Google Summer of Code 2016 admin https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2016

Agree.

it will suffice to use clang alone - AFAIK clang runs on Windows too.

Microsoft's tooling supports SAL which is enormously useful in catching bad use of MSVCRT and Win32. clang tooling does not and will not due to a patent. I'd suggest therefore that MSVC's static analyser will remain invaluable when on Windows.

Sure. Some questions: Are you suggesting to use clang-tidy as such and/or adding specific boost checks? If adding, which checks do you want to add? Vicente

clang-analyzer-<xyz> - more checks could be added on demand probably boost might establish its own coding style
