[cdt-dev] checkers for cdt static analysis tool

[Alena Laskavaia <elaskavaia.cdt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
If you are a student and studying tools and compilers technologies and
looking for a good small project, you can help by contributing a
static analysis checker
to cdt static analysis tool - codan (if you are not student you are
welcome too :). Currently it is not part of official CDT builds and to
be part of it we need
at least a dozen good checkers. Checker is a small program that find
potential bugs in c/c++ code, similar to what compiler finds but
beyond it.

Framework for this is already in place, only thing you need to do is
to write a checker, test for it and submit a patch to CDT.
There are few samples already available to look at: Assignment in
Condition, Statement has no Effect and Non Virtual Destructor
checkers.
