Static Code Analysis Tools?

Posted by Cliff on from the something-else-for-the-tool-box dept.

rewt66 asks: "We are looking for a good static analysis tool for a fairly large (half a million lines) C/C++ project. What tools do you recommend? What do you recommend avoiding? What experience (good or bad) have you had with such tools?"

    1. If you have 500k lines in a single project, consider re-factoring it into separate libraries that you can divide and conquer. Also, if you have 500k lines of code, consider cleaning it up, re-factoring it, etc. Fewer lines of code is more impressive than more.

    2. Google for David Wagner and David Molnar, they seem to be up on that sort of work.

    For Java programming, I use FindBugs. I mostly use it through an Eclipse plugin.
