🌟 Highlights

Guideline Statistics page under the statistics tab to generate SEI Cert Compliance reports

A new Guideline Statistics page is added under the statistics tab to generate SEI Cert Compliance reports.

This page shows the compliance of an analyzed program to a coding guideline (such as SEI Cert C/C++) . It shows all checkers corresponding to a guideline rule, their configuration status (on/off) and all outstanding and closed reports per guideline rule.

It is possible to generate the table into HTML and CSV format.

The first supported guidelines are SEI Cert C and C++.

Facebook Infer as a new C/C++ analyzer plugin

Besides clang-tidy, clang static analyzer, cppcheck and gcc, Facebook Infer is a well known open-source static code analyzer tool https://github.com/facebook/infer

CodeChecker will support executing this analyzer. It will not be enabled by default, but is available for testing.

PVS Studio report conversion

From now on, it will be possible to convert the reports of the https://pvs-studio.com/en/pvs-studio/ analyzer and handle them with CodeChecker.

❗ Backward incompatible changes

  • Resolve checker enable/disable ambiguity by @noraz31 in #4377 and by @cservakt in #4392
    CodeChecker analyze emits an error (instead of a warning) when the enabled checkers/profiles/checker prefix groups are given ambigously. In these cases the ambiguity must be resolved. For example CodeChecker analyze -e security command is ambigous as security is a checker group (all checkers starting with security. and a profile at the same time. Please define explicitly CodeChecker -e prefix:security if you mean the prefix group, or profile:security if you mean the security profile.

CodeChecker -e clang-diagnostic-format will give an error, because it is ambigous if the user means the clang-diagnostic-format single checker, or all chekcers starting with clang-diagnostic-format. To refer the former, the user must user checker:clang-diagnostic-format or to the latter prefix:clang-diagnostic-format.

If you have such clashing cases, you must resolve them. The following namespaces can be used
prefix: - to mach checkera starting with a prefix
profile: - to match a checker profile
checker: - to match a single checker
guideline: - to match checkers belonging to a guideline
severity: - to match checkers belonging to a given severity.

  • The skip file handling changed! Adding a --drop-reports-from-skipped-files parameter to analyze by @dkrupp in #4332
    After this patch, the skip files will only skip the analysis of the listed files, but will not filter out any reports. This may result in more reports than before.
    By default CodeChecker used to filter out all reports from files which were on the skip list. This can hide true positive reports strating from unskipped code and ending in skipped files (typical with CTU and header related findings).
    This patch removes the default report filtering post processing step from CodeChecker analyze --skip SKIPFILE operation.
    The legacy functionality is still available with the --drop-reports-from-skipped-files paramer.

  • guideline:sei-cert cannot be used anymore. The sei-cert guideline profile was split to guideline:sei-cert-c for the C guideline and guideline:sei-cert-cpp for the C++ guideline. #4400

  • CodeChecker -e W* syntax is not supported anymore. Clang warnings only appear as clang-diagnostic-* checkers and the
