Linux operating system patches and packages The following patches or packages are required for running Klocwork products on Linux. They are in addition to the regular maintenance patches for your operating system. If you are installing on Linux x86, 64-bit The 32-bit compatibility libraries must be installed. Klocwork works on 64-bit platforms in 32-bit emulation mode, so in order for Klocwork to work on Linux 64-bit platforms, you must ensure that the 32-bit libraries are installed. The way you check and install 32-bit libraries depends on your Linux distribution. Klocwork | System Requirements | 3 For example, Klocwork requires the gcc-multilib and g++-multilib libraries. The version of the libraries required must match the version of GCC you are using. If you are using a non-default compiler, you must install gcc-<version>multilib and g++<version>-multillib, where <version> matches the major GCC version (find by using the gcc --version command. For licensing and analysis tools to work, Klocwork requires the Linux Standard Base core package in addition to GNU and GCC standard libraries listed below. Install the 32-bit version of the Linux Standard Base core package; if there is no 32-bit version available for your Linux distribution, install the 64-bit version of the package. For Ubuntu, run the following commands: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 sudo apt-get install lib32tinfo5 Note: • Ubuntu 18.10 requires you to install lib32tinfo6 instead of lib32tinfo5. • For Ubuntu 19.04 (and greater) and Debian 9.9 (and greater) the lib32tinfo5 package is not available. Run the following commands instead: sudo apt-get install lib32tinfo6 and then sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386. sudo apt-get install libncursesw5:i386 sudo apt-get install libaio1 sudo apt-get install numactl sudo apt-get install lsb-core For earlier versions of Ubuntu, consult the Ubuntu documentation. For Fedora and Redhat Enterprise Linux, run these commands: sudo yum install glibc.i686 sudo yum install libgcc.i686 sudo yum install numactl-libs sudo yum install lsb-core For CentOS, run these commands: sudo yum install glibc.i686 sudo yum install libgcc.i686 sudo yum install numactl sudo yum install redhat-lsb-core.i686 Depending on the Linux version, Klocwork servers require one of the following 3rd-party packages to run: libaio1 libaio libaio.x86_64 libnuma1 4 | System Requirements | Klocwork If you are installing on a Linux distribution that does not install the X11 version of X Window by default You need to install xorg-XFree86-deprecated-libs. Solaris operating system patches and packages If you are installing on Solaris 10, you need the zlib package. This package is not required if you are installing only the Klocwork developer tools. To check that the zlib package is installed, either run $ pkginfo |grep zlib or look for a file called libz.so under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. If the zlib package is installed, you will see the package SUNWzlib, or SMCzlib, or both packages. Disk space requirements Disk space requirements for installation A server installation requires 1 GB to 1.4 GB for installation. Plugins require an additional 700 MB. Additional disk space is required temporarily during installation. Disk space requirements for data storage Klocwork Static Code Analysis data includes the source files, configuration files, object files, tables, and the database. The total disk space needed for a single integration-build analysis will be the total of all this data. If you use Klocwork incremental analysis, the object file size and table size is needed only once per project. Some sample projects to show how size can vary Project Language Lines of code Object file Table size Database Total size size (MB) (MB) size (MB) (MB) Boost C/C++ 140,000 393 17 84 1,638 Firefox C/C++ 1,600,000 2,800 606 702 3,174 Common C++ C/C++ 20,000 168 23 45 236 Python C 214,000 114 52 84 143 MySQL C/C++ 350,000 781 133 167 463 Processor and RAM requirements Minimum requirements for server and complete installations • Processor speed: 2 GHz or better • RAM: Minimum 2 GB for a single core machine and a minimum of 1 GB of memory per processor or core on multicore machines. More than 2 GB may be required for very large analyses.

  • Using Static and Runtime Analysis to Improve Developer Productivity And
    Using Static and Runtime Analysis to Improve Developer Productivity and Product Quality Bill Graham and Paul N. Leroux Todd Landry QNX Software Systems Klocwork [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] April 2008 Static and runtime analysis QNX Software Systems Abstract Static analysis can discover a variety of defects and weaknesses in system source code, even before the code is ready to run. Runtime analysis, on the other hand, looks at running software to detect problems as they occur, usually through sophisticated instrumentation. Some may argue that one form of analysis precludes the other, but developers can combine both techniques to achieve faster development and testing as well as higher product quality. The paper begins with static analysis, which prevents problems from entering the main code stream and ensures that any new code is up to standard. Using techniques such as abstract syntax tree (AST) validation and code path analysis, static analysis tools can uncover security vulnerabilities, logic errors, implementation defects, and other problems, both at the developer’s desktop and at system build time. The paper then explores runtime analysis, which developers can perform during module development and system integration to catch any problems missed by static analysis. Runtime analysis not only detects pointer errors and other violations, but also helps optimize utilization of CPU cycles, RAM, flash memory, and other resources. The paper then discusses how developers can combine static and runtime analysis to prevent regressions as a product matures. This two-pronged approach helps to eliminate most problems early in the development cycle, when they cost least to fix.

  • Automatic Coding Rule Conformance Checking Using Logic Programming⋆
    Automatic Coding Rule Conformance Checking Using Logic Programming⋆ Guillem Marpons1, Julio Mari˜no1, Manuel Carro1, Angel´ Herranz1, Juan Jos´e Moreno-Navarro1,2, and Lars-Ake˚ Fredlund1 1 Universidad Polit´ecnica de Madrid 2 IMDEA Software {gmarpons,jmarino,mcarro,aherranz,jjmoreno,lfredlund}@fi.upm.es Abstract An extended practice in the realm of Software Engineering and programming in industry is the application of coding rules. Coding rules are customarily used to constrain the use (or abuse) of certain pro- gramming language constructions. However, these rules are usually writ- ten using natural language, which is intrinsically ambiguous and which may complicate their use and hinder their automatic enforcement. This paper presents some early work aiming at defining a framework to for- malise and check for coding rule conformance using logic programming. We show how a certain class of rules – structural rules – can be refor- mulated as logic programs, which provides both a framework for formal specification and also for automatic conformance checking using a Prolog engine. Some examples of rules belonging to actual, third-party coding rule sets are discussed, along with the corresponding Prolog code. Exper- imental data regarding the practicality and impact of their application to real-life software projects is presented and discussed. Keywords: Coding rule checking, Declarative domain-specific languages and applications, Logic programming, Programming environments. 1 Introduction Although there is a trend towards increased use of higher-level languages in the software industry, offering convenient programming constructs such as type-safe execution, automatic garbage collection, etc., it is equally clear that more tra- ditional programming languages like C (which is notorious for fostering dubious practices) remain very popular.
