[cfe-dev] CodeChecker infrastructure on GitHub

[György Orbán]

Hi All,

We have published CodeChecker on GitHub, a new defect storage and 
management infrastructure based on Clang Static Analyzer.

CodeChecker replaces scan-build in Clang Static Analyzer in Linux systems.

It provides:
     - a new command line tool for analyzing projects
     - dynamic web based defect viewer (instead of static html)
     - a PostgreSQL based defect storage & management
     - incremental bug reporting (show only new bugs compared to a baseline)
     - suppression of false positives
     - better integration with build systems (through the LD_PRELOAD 
mechanism)
     - Apache Thrift API based server-client model for storing bugs and 
viewing results.
     - It is possible to connect multiple bug viewers. Currently a 
web-based viewer and a command line viewer are provided.

You can find a high level overview about the infrastructure in the 
presentation at the 2015 Euro LLVM
(http://llvm.org/devmtg/2015-04/slides/Clang_static_analysis_toolset_final.pdf)

Please check the tool if you have time.
