#Static code analysis

The Static code analysis is a method of debugging that is done by examining the source code without executing the program.

Before submitting the Pull Request a developer should run static code analyzer tool and make sure that his code complies with the Coding Standards.

#Clang-tidy

The clang-tidy is a clang-based C++ “linter” tool. Its purpose is to provide an extensible framework for diagnosing and fixing typical programming errors, like style violations, interface misuse, or bugs that can be deduced via static analysis.

#Install clang-tidy

#Linux Ubuntu

The clang-tidy tool is available from the APT repository.

$ sudo apt install clang-tidy

#Run clang-tidy

If run-clang-tidy program is installed, a CMake target called clang-tidy is available.

In order to run clang-tidy analyzer on the MuditaOS repository, follow the steps:

$ cd <path/to/MuditaOS>
$ ./configure.sh <platform> <build_type>
$ cd <path/to/build/dir>
$ make clang-tidy

The results of the analysis are available under $(pwd)/StaticAnalysis directory.
