Visual Studio compatibility?

[Gibson85]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use CodeChecker for Visual Studio solutions too?
I don't want to set up a make/cmake file for every project only for static test analysis.
From your example it seems that CodeChecker works together with make only?

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

Or maybe it could be possible to provide a folder to scan for .hpp/.cpp files to check?

Hi,

CodeChecker depens on a JSON Compilation Database to run the analysis.
The check example executes the compilation, collects the compile commands and runs the analysis.

If your build system can create a compile command database CodeChecker should be able to use it.
cmake can export the compilation commands like this: cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON

I do not know if it is possible to get/export the compilation commands from Visual Studio somehow.

I found an extension by sourcetrail but I never tried it.
It is open source and developed here on github.

I'm not sure if there is a built-in feature in Visual Studio to get the compilation command database.
