DISQUS

MontagFTB · 10 months ago

I get the following output:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
scan-build: Removing directory '/var/folders/aG/aGcWcE9zH+KjyJhECHmwhE+++TI/-Tmp-//scan-build-2009-02-23-1' because it contains no reports.

Any thoughts how to get it to produce more than nothing?

That message indicates that the static analyzer could not detect any problems with your code. Perhaps try introducing a bug in your application. E.g. `NSNumber *number = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:0];` and don't `release` it. That should introduce 2 bugs: a dead initialization, and a memory leak.

very helpful

Or use scan-build -k xcodebuild -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator2.2 rather than changing the project :)

Ahh cool. Good tip :)

unfortunately when I run this on my project I receive no report and the last line is
scan-build: Removing directory '/var/folders/x2/x2PXNw6pE7O8Zr7cBMzy1U+++TI/-Tmp-/scan-build-2009-04-10-1' because it contains no reports.
can someone give me an example of the type of errors clang finds? I am really surprised that it didn't find any in my project but I'd like to try to add explicitly errors to verify that it works

Is scan-build in your path? I've had problems in the past when running it by specifying relative paths.

Otherwise, you can try introducing a bug into your application.

E.g. `NSNumber *number = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:0];` and don't `release` it. That should introduce 2 bugs: a dead initialization, and a memory leak.

Yes it is in my build path.
Moreover I did add some errors (in particular the exact one you suggested) and it didn't change the result. Nothing is reported and the directory is removed.

I also have to say that on toy projects it work it is just in my real project where it doesn't

Do you know if clang works on objectiveC++
Most of my source files are .mm that may be the problem?

benoitcerrina · 8 months ago

Yes I think that is my problem clang is not analyzing those files.
This is a pain as I am using some C++ mixed with objective C

I had the same problem I added the extra parameters after xcodebuild:
scan-build -k -V xcodebuild -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator2.1

Just what I needed, thanks!

Thanks a lot for this posting. It helped a lot getting clang to work.

Also check on your Project info > Configurations tab (at the very bottom) that you are set to Debug in the "Command-line builds use:" option

Nice article

Is clang working for anyone else when analyzing a project that contains a 3.0 library such as MessageUI?

I keep getting an error "MessageUI/MessageUI.h: No such file or directory".

It builds fine if I just do an 'xcodebuild' or build within xcode.

I have tried setting the basesdk for all to 2.2, and I have tried :

scan-build -k -V xcodebuild -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator2.2

scan-build -k -V xcodebuild -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator2.1

scan-build -k -V xcodebuild -configuration Debug

scan-build -k -V xcodebuild

Doing some searches it seems like it may have to do witht the fact that this is a 3.0 library ?

I just found my own answer:

THIS WORKED:

scan-build -k -V xcodebuild -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator3.0

Hi,
I had same problem, i.e. got error like:

scan-build: Removing directory '/var/folders/x2/x2PXNw6pE7O8Zr7cBMzy1U+++TI/-Tmp-/scan-build-2009-04-10-1' because it contains no reports.

After investigating it, in my case, this was happening because of either one of two reasons:

Reason 1 - I had a compilation error in my code. When I fixed the compilation error then it worked.

Reason 2 - The scan-build analysed my code and I had no actual errors.

So in my case, while my code compiled and while I had memory leaks in my code, the analyser worked and I got the web page pop up with the results. Otherwise I got something like the error listed above in the terminal window.
