[cdt-dev] New codan checkers

[Mathias De Maré <mathias.demare@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I created 2 Codan checkers a few months back.

1. A checker that looks for external header guards: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354087




2. A checker that checks for dead code (using the 'Control Flow Graph' Alena added): https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310285



Both patches still apply to the master branch, and they both have unittests.
I modified the first checker after feedback from Alena (back in 
November), but didn't receive any further replies after my modifications
 (which is most likely because you are all very busy people:-)).

I
 was wondering if it would be possible to add these checkers, so they 
end up in the next Eclipse CDT release. If this is not possible due to a
 lack of time, I'm willing to add the checkers myself.


Greetings,
Mathias

P.S. Andrew, I saw you at FOSDEM! I was
 the guy asking about how to let people know I would like to see my 
patches integrated. Thanks for the information, I'm now following your 
hint (perhaps a bit late, it's been quite busy).
