Hi,
I would like to congratulate you for root 6, it is phenomenal
However, I ran the clang++ static analyser
–analyze -Xanalyzer
and I found many issues (they can cause bugs).
the log file is called clang.log, it is in my public folder alhroob/public.
I hope it is helpful.
Cheers
Hi,
thanks for trying out ROOT6 and for scrutinising it with the Clang static analyser: it is certainly useful!
I think clang static analysis is an extremely promising technology, also because of the accessible way offered to write custom static analysis plugins. It can be a good complementary check to the present static checker used routinely for ROOT, Coverity.
I myself carried out several static analyses of root, the last one of which 2 months ago with the trunk of Clang. I was enthusiastic at the results obtained, but still a bit unsatisfied with the rate of false positives Did you also produce a web report with scan-build?
Cheers,
Danilo
Hi,
I compiled root with two clang options:
–analyze for the static analysis and -Xanalyzer option to get the detailed information about the bug.
I checked some of the outcome and I found them real
I also ran
scan-build -o ClangReport -V make -j4
and I found 107 bugs
the outcome directory is called ClangReport, I put it in my public folder at lxplus
Hi,
would would be the directory?
/afs/cern.ch/user/m/mhoroub/public is not the correct one.
Cheers,
Danilo
sorry,
my cern user name is alhroob
/afs/cern.ch/user/a/alhroob/public/
Hi,
I was browsing your report. Interesting!
It is useful to note that:
- The majority of warnings come from code ROOT provides but does not maintain (Asimage, lzma etc.)
- None seems potentially fatal or able to corrupt results
Said that, the dead assignments are there. Luckily the compiler with some decent optimisation flag gets rid of them easily.
I think it’s a pity that the analyser dies in many occasions (Analyzer Failures).
Cheers,
Danilo
