I would like to know is it possible to analyze Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ project with Clang Static Analyzer. As far as I understand I need a makefile or something any and ability to build the project with clang. But Embarcadero uses it's own C++ extension, so code can't be compiled with clang.

If analyzing is possible (at least for separate files) it would be good if someone post a sequence of steps what I need to do.

Just found out that since RadStudio XE2, it has integrated C++ Analyzer.

From my initial tests, in RadStudio 10.2 it seems to be based on Clang Static Analyzer (not 100% sure)

Here is video instructions for XE2 https://edn.embarcadero.com/article/41862 In Tokyo you access it from menu View->Tool Windows->C++ Analyzer.

My preliminary results are: very slow but pretty helpful results with lots of possible tweaking.

  • It seems in C++ Builder 10.3.3, C++ 17 standard is not supported by the static analyzer. – VLL Feb 07 '20 at 13:58

You can try CppDepend which use Clang and Clang-Tidy to report all the issues reported by them.

However you have to use the BuildMonitor tool to intercept your compilation and link commands before analyze it with CppDepend.

If clang static analyzer is a hard requirement, then I don't know of a solution. But if static analysis in general is your requirement, then GrammaTech CodeSonar supports Embarcadero.
