Short: Splint 3.1.2 Author: http://www.splint.org Uploader: Mathias 'Corto' Parnaudeau Type: dev/c Version: 3.1.2 Requires: MorphOS and its SDK Architecture: ppc-morphos Splint (http://www.splint.org) is a tool for statically checking C programs for security vulnerabilities and coding mistakes. It is a great tool for developers to improve their code with rules stricter than the compiler's ones (even gcc with -Wall). The short story about this port I compiled it years ago on MorphOS and recently I tried to port it to OS4. I was not totally convinced by this quick and dirty port but some days later Tcheko told me I've just ported splint 3.1.2 for MorphOS. I was pleased to see an update for MorphOS too and I was motivated to improve the OS4 port. So we started to talk with Tcheko, about our work and also about a common release. -- Corto-- Yes, MorphOS and OS4 developers can work together to bring better sofware, it was already the case with SQLite. We did separate archives but please consider them as a common port ! Compilation Nothing special about the MorphOS release. The sources compiled straight once the configuration files was updated to some newer ones. Config files included in the source archive was 7 years old... and didn't mention anything about MorphOS. What a shame! It was compiled with --prefix=/gg/ in its configure. Standard installation (recommended) - Copy "splint" and ".splintrc" in "GG:bin" - Create the directory "GG:share/splint" - Copy directories "lib" and "imports" into it - Define a CPATH setenv which indicates the system includes path : setenv CPATH "/gg/os-include" - Copy ENV:CPATH into ENVARC: Custom installation - Unarchive where you want, let us call it MYDIR (for example "/Work/splint", you must use a path with the UNIX syntax). - Set environments variables : LARCH_PATH must be MYDIR/lib LCLIMPORTDIR must be MYDIR/imports - Set them in ENVARC : copy ENV:LARCH_PATH ENVARC: copy ENV:LCLIMPORTDIR ENVARC: splint also uses the file ".splintrc" if it exists, it defines some rules. I did write some minimal rules that are mandatory, mainly for the parsing of OS headers. For example, it defines these constants : -D__MORPHOS__, -D__GNUC__ and -D__PPC__ Launch Here I am explaining how to run splint trying to give you some advices. To run splint in a shell, basically : splint filetocheck.c At the beginning I suggest you to add the command parameter "-weak" to set splint in a mode less strict : splint -weak filetocheck.c Limitations - The test run went fine so I expect this release to work nicely.
