Github Action Gitter Documentation Status OpenSSF Scorecard Score

CodeChecker is a static analysis infrastructure built on the LLVM/Clang Static Analyzer toolchain, replacing scan-build in a Linux or macOS (OS X) development environment.

Web interface showing list of analysed projects and bugs

:bulb: Check out our DEMO showing some analysis results of open-source projects!

Main features

Command line C/C++ Analysis

  • Executes Clang-Tidy, Clang Static Analyzer with Cross-Translation Unit analysis, Statistical Analysis (when checkers are available), Cppcheck, GCC Static Analyzer and the Facebook Infer Analyzer.
  • Creates the JSON compilation database by wiretapping any build process (e.g., CodeChecker log -b "make").
  • Automatically analyzes GCC cross-compiled projects: detecting GCC or Clang compiler configuration and forming the corresponding clang analyzer invocations.
  • Incremental analysis: Only the changed files and its dependencies need to be reanalyzed.
  • False positive suppression with a possibility to add review comments.
  • Result visualization in command line or in static HTML.

Web-based report storage

  • You can store & visualize thousands of analysis reports of many analyzers like Clang Static Analyzer (C/C++), Clang Tidy (C/C++), Facebook Infer (C/C++, Java), Clang Sanitizers (C/C++), Spotbugs (Java), Pylint (Python), Eslint (Javascript) ...
    For a complete list see Supported Analyzers
  • Web application for viewing discovered code defects with a streamlined, easy experience (with PostgreSQL, or SQLite backend).
  • Gerrit and GitLab integration Shows analysis results as GitLab or Gerrit reviews.
  • Filterable (defect checker name, severity, source paths, ...) and comparable (calculates difference between two analyses of the project, showing which bugs have been fixed and which are newly introduced) result viewing.
  • Diff mode: This shows the list of bugs that have been introduced since your last analyzer execution.
  • Results can be shared with fellow developers, the comments and review system helps communication of code defects.
  • Easily implementable Thrift-based server-client communication used for storing and querying of discovered defects.
  • Support for multiple bug visualization frontends, such as the web application, a command-line tool and an Eclipse plugin.

Command line features

CodeChecker command has many subcommands which can be used for example to log and analyze your projects, print the results or start a web server. For full list see the following table or check the help message of this command (CodeChecker --help):

CodeChecker subcommand Description

Usage flow

Usage diagram

  • Step 1: CodeChecker log runs the given build command and records the executed compilation steps. These steps are written to an output file (Compilation Database) in a JSON format.
  • Step 2: CodeChecker analyze uses the previously created JSON Compilation Database to perform an analysis on the project, outputting analysis results in a machine-readable (plist) format.
  • Step 3: In this step, you can do multiple things:
    • Parse and pretty-print the summary and results from analysis result files (CodeChecker parse).
    • Store the results to a running CodeChecker server (CodeChecker store).
    • Compare two analysis results/runs to show the results that differ between the two (CodeChecker cmd diff).
    • etc.

For more information how to use CodeChecker see our user guide.

Helper Scripts

Install guide

Install CodeChecker via pip

CodeChecker is available on the pypi and can be installed with the following command:

pip3 install codechecker

Note: this package can be installed on Linux, OSX and Windows systems where pip3 command is available. On OSX, intercept-build must be installed for logging (CodeChecker log). On Windows, logging is not available.

Installing CodeChecker via the snap package manager

CodeChecker is available on the Snap Store and can be installed with the following command:

sudo snap install codechecker --classic

Note: Unfortunately, the snap package supports only lower-case command names. For this reason, you need to use codechecker command instead of CodeChecker everywhere. For a full list of available commands in the codechecker snap package, run snap info codechecker.

Linux

For a detailed dependency list, and for instructions on how to install newer Clang and Clang-Tidy versions, please see Requirements. The following commands are used to bootstrap CodeChecker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

# Install mandatory dependencies for a development and analysis environment.
# NOTE: clang or clang-tidy can be any sufficiently fresh version, and need not
#       come from package manager!
#       In case of Cppcheck, the minimal supported version is 1.80.
#       In case of gcc, the minimal supported version is 13.0.0.
#       Infer: https://fbinfer.com/docs/getting-started
sudo apt-get install clang clang-tidy cppcheck g++ build-essential curl
      gcc-multilib git python3-dev python3-venv python3-setuptools

# In case of venv_dev target and Ubuntu 23 Linux, install an additional library:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

# Install nodejs dependency for web. In case of Debian/Ubuntu you can use the
# following commands. For more information see the official docs:
# https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Check out CodeChecker source code.
git clone https://github.com/Ericsson/CodeChecker.git --depth 1 ~/codechecker
cd ~/codechecker

# Create a Python virtualenv and set it as your environment.
# NOTE: if you want to develop CodeChecker, use the `venv_dev` target instead
# of `venv`.
make venv
source $PWD/venv/bin/activate

# [Optional] If you want to use external authentication methods (LDAP / PAM)
# follow the instructions in
# docs/web/authentication.md#external-authentication-methods

# Build and install a CodeChecker package.
make package

# For ease of access, add the build directory to PATH.
export PATH="$PWD/build/CodeChecker/bin:$PATH"

cd ..

Notes:

  • By default, make package will build ldlogger shared objects for 32bit and 64bit too. If you would like to build and package 64 bit only shared objects and ldlogger binary you can set BUILD_LOGGER_64_BIT_ONLY environment variable to YES before the package build: BUILD_LOGGER_64_BIT_ONLY=YES make package.
  • By default, the make package will build the UI code if it's not built yet or the UI code is changed. If you wouldn't like to build the UI code you can set the BUILD_UI_DIST environment variable to NO before the package build: BUILD_UI_DIST=NO make package.
  • Use make standalone_package instead of make package to avoid having to manually activate the environment before running CodeChecker.

Upgrading environment after system or Python upgrade

If you have upgraded your system's Python to a newer version (e.g., from 3.8 to 3.11 – this is the case when upgrading Ubuntu from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS), the installed environment will not work out-of-the-box. To fix this issue, run the following command to upgrade your checker_env too:

cd ~/codechecker/venv
python3 -m venv .

Mac OS X

For installation instructions for Mac OS X see Mac OS X Installation Guide documentation.

Docker

To run the CodeChecker server in Docker see the Docker documentation. You can find the CodeChecker web-server container at the Docker Hub.

Visual Studio Code plugin

You can install and use CodeChecker VSCode extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace or from Open VSX.

Main features:

  • Run CodeChecker analysis from the editor and see the results automatically.
  • Re-analyze the current file when saved.
  • Commands and build tasks for running CodeChecker as part of a build system.
  • Browse through the found reports and show the reproduction steps directly in the code.
  • Navigate between the reproduction steps.

VSCode plugin

For more information how to install and use this plugin see the repository of this extension.

GitHub Actions CI

CodeChecker executed in GitHub Actions

CodeChecker can be executed via a reusable GitHub action for your project! You need only specify the build command, as if you would run the analysis locally.

For more information, check out the CodeChecker Static Analysis action on the GitHub Actions Marketplace.

Analyze your first project

Setting up the environment in your Terminal

These steps must always be taken in a new command prompt you wish to execute analysis in.

source ~/codechecker/venv/bin/activate

# Path of CodeChecker package
# NOTE: SKIP this line if you want to always specify CodeChecker's full path.
export PATH=~/codechecker/build/CodeChecker/bin:$PATH

# Path of the built LLVM/Clang
# NOTE: SKIP this line if clang is available in your PATH as an installed Linux package.
export PATH=~/<user path>/build/bin:$PATH

Execute analysis

Analyze your project with the check command:

CodeChecker check -b "cd ~/your-project && make clean && make" -o ./results

check will print an overview of the issues found in your project by the analyzers. The reports will be stored in the ./results directory in plist XML format.

Export the reports as static HTML files

You can visualize the results as static HTML by executing

CodeChecker parse -e html ./results -o ./reports_html

An index page will be generated with a list of all repors in ./reports_html/index.html

Optionally store the results in Web server & view the results

If you have hundreds of results, you may want to store them on the web server with a database backend.

Start a CodeChecker web and storage server in another terminal or as a background process. By default, it will listen on localhost:8001.

The SQLite database containing the reports will be placed in your workspace directory (~/.codechecker by default), which can be provided via the -w flag.

CodeChecker server

Store your analysis reports onto the server to be able to use the Web Viewer.

CodeChecker store ./results -n my-project

Open the CodeChecker Web Viewer in your browser, and you should be greeted with a web application showing you the analysis results.
