[cfe-dev] Passing Arguments to Checker

[Tarun Sethi]

Thanks Jordy for the prompt response.

I am facing another problem. My checker makes function calls into some
utility C++ code (which is independent of clang). I want the utility code to
be compiled as a separate library (say abc.a) and abc.a could be linked to
the clangStaticAnalyzerCheckers.a (the checkers library).

I have been able to build the utility C++ code into a library (abc.a)
through the
clang Make system by following the structure of clang Makefiles. I placed
the utility code at the clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer directory (along with
Checkers dir) for that.

I used the USEDLIBS option in the StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/Makefile i.e.
USELIBS:=abc.a

But, I get linker error when I refer something in the utility code from the
checker, because clangStaticAnalyzerCheckers.a is not linked to my abc.a

Thanks again!
