<h1>Obtaining the Static Analyzer</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>This page describes how to download and install the analyzer.  Once
 | 
						|
the analyzer is installed, follow the <a
 | 
						|
href="/scan-build.html">instructions</a> on using <tt>scan-build</tt> to
 | 
						|
get started analyzing your code.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Packaged Builds (Mac OS X)</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Semi-regular pre-built binaries of the analyzer are available on Mac
 | 
						|
OS X.  These are built to run on OS X 10.7 and later.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Builds are released frequently.  Often the differences between build
 | 
						|
numbers being a few bug fixes or minor feature improvements.  When using
 | 
						|
the analyzer, we recommend that you check back here occasionally for new
 | 
						|
builds, especially if the build you are using is more than a couple
 | 
						|
weeks old.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The latest build is:
 | 
						|
  <!--#include virtual="latest_checker.html.incl"-->
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Packaged builds for other platforms may eventually be provided, but
 | 
						|
we need volunteers who are willing to help provide such regular builds.
 | 
						|
If you wish to help contribute regular builds of the analyzer on other
 | 
						|
platforms, please email the <a
 | 
						|
href="https://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev">Clang
 | 
						|
Developers' mailing list</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3>Using Packaged Builds</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>To use a package build, simply unpack it anywhere.  If the build
 | 
						|
archive has the name <b><tt>checker-XXX.tar.bz2</tt></b> then the
 | 
						|
archive will expand to a directory called <b><tt>checker-XXX</tt></b>.
 | 
						|
You do not need to place this directory or the contents of this
 | 
						|
directory in any special place.  Uninstalling the analyzer is as simple
 | 
						|
as deleting this directory.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Most of the files in the <b><tt>checker-XXX</tt></b> directory will
 | 
						|
be supporting files for the analyzer that you can simply ignore.  Most
 | 
						|
users will only care about two files, which are located at the top of
 | 
						|
the <b><tt>checker-XXX</tt></b> directory:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
<li><b>scan-build</b>: <tt>scan-build</tt> is the high-level command line utility for running the analyzer</li>
 | 
						|
<li><b>scan-view</b>: <tt>scan-view</tt> a companion comannd line
 | 
						|
utility to <tt>scan-build</tt>, <tt>scan-view</tt> is used to view
 | 
						|
analysis results generated by <tt>scan-build</tt>.  There is an option
 | 
						|
that one can pass to <tt>scan-build</tt> to cause <tt>scan-view</tt> to
 | 
						|
run as soon as it the analysis of a build completes</li>
 | 
						|
</ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h4>Running scan-build</h4>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>For specific details on using <tt>scan-build</tt>, please see
 | 
						|
<tt>scan-build</tt>'s <a href="/scan-build">documentation</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>To run <tt>scan-build</tt>, either add the
 | 
						|
<b><tt>checker-XXX</tt></b> directory to your path or specify a complete
 | 
						|
path for <tt>scan-build</tt> when running it. It is also possible to use
 | 
						|
a symbolic link to <tt>scan-build</tt>, such one located in a directory
 | 
						|
in your path. When <tt>scan-build</tt> runs it will automatically
 | 
						|
determine where to find its accompanying files.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2 id="OtherPlatforms">Other Platforms (Building the Analyzer from Source)</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>For other platforms, you must build Clang and LLVM manually.  To do
 | 
						|
so, please follow the instructions for <a
 | 
						|
href="https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html#build">building Clang from
 | 
						|
source code</a>.<p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Once the Clang is built, you need to add the following to your path:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li>The location of the <tt>clang</tt> binary.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>For example, if you built a <em>Debug+Asserts</em> build of LLVM/Clang (the
 | 
						|
default), the resultant <tt>clang</tt> binary will be in <tt>$(OBJDIR)/Debug+Asserts/bin</tt>
 | 
						|
(where <tt>$(OBJDIR)</tt> is often the same as the root source directory).  You
 | 
						|
can also do <tt>make install</tt> to install the LLVM/Clang libraries and
 | 
						|
binaries to the installation directory of your choice (specified when you run
 | 
						|
<tt>configure</tt>).</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li>The locations of the <tt>scan-build</tt> and <tt>scan-view</tt>
 | 
						|
programs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>These are installed via <tt>make install</tt> into the bin directory
 | 
						|
when clang is built.</p></li>
