Clang Static Analyzer

What is Clang Static Analyzer?

The Clang Static Analyzer is a tool that examines source code to identify potential issues and defects in C, C++, and Objective-C applications. It performs thorough checks to uncover a range of problems, including memory leaks, undefined behaviors, and other coding errors. The analyzer leverages advanced techniques such as path-sensitive, whole-program analysis to provide comprehensive coverage and identify complex bugs that may be difficult to detect through manual review or traditional testing methods. Developers can integrate the Clang Static Analyzer into their build process to catch issues early in the software development lifecycle, thereby improving code quality and reducing the cost of addressing problems later on
