Hi Artem,

Couple of points to note here :-

There are two things we are trying to do :-

1) Trying to run scan-build on Windows
2) Running scan-build in linux and generating HTML reports in report
directory

*We are just trying to run scan-build with normal makefile which compiles
and analyzes one test case.*

The problem in the first case is that when i run the normal scan-build with
build command like this :-

C:\Users\sid>perl -S scan-build -o out-dir make

scan-build: Not supported for windows. Exiting...


For the second case our aim is to just run scan-build with build command
for one test case file which will be analyzed and reports will be generated
in the reports directory

sid at sid-linux:
/local/mnt/workspace/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/bin/scan-build
--use-analyzer=/local/mnt/workspace/llvm/build/bin/clang make
scan-build: Using ' /local/mnt/workspace/llvm/build/bin/clang' for static
analysis
/local/mnt/workspace/llvm/build/bin/../libexec/ccc-analyzer -o test1 test1.c
test1.c:6:9: clang_sa_warning: Value stored to 'k' during its
initialization is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
    int k = *j;
        ^   ~~
test1.c:6:13: clang_sa_warning: Dereference of null pointer (loaded from
variable 'j') [core.NullDereference]
    int k = *j;
            ^~
2 warnings generated.
scan-build: Removing directory '/tmp/scan-build-2019-04-10-115314-8475-1'
because it contains no reports.
scan-build: No bugs found.


It shows bugs in the cmd but doesn't generate HTML reports. What can be the
possible cause of it ? ( Note here the clang is the latest version) Is
there any dependency from scan-build side that it will work with a
particular version of clang ?


Thanks,

Siddharth
