See the [official clang static analyzer page](http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/) for background.
We don't run this regularly (because the analyzer's [support for C++ isn't great yet](http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/dev_cxx.html)), so everything on this page is likely broken. The last time I checked, the analyzer reported mostly uninteresting things. This assumes you're [building chromium with clang](Clang.md).
You need an llvm checkout to get `scan-build` and `scan-view`; the easiest way to get that is to run
```
tools/clang/scripts/update.sh --force-local-build --without-android
```
## With make
To build base, if you use the make build:
```
builddir_name=out_analyze \
PATH=$PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin:$PATH \
third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
--keep-going --use-cc clang --use-c++ clang++ \
make -j8 base
```
(`builddir_name` is set to force a clobber build.)
Once that's done, run `third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-view/scan-view` to see the results; pass in the pass that `scan-build` outputs.
## With ninja
scan-build does its stuff by mucking with $CC/$CXX, which ninja ignores. gyp does look at $CC/$CXX however, so you need to first run gyp\_chromium under scan-build:
```
time GYP_GENERATORS=ninja \
GYP_DEFINES='component=shared_library clang_use_chrome_plugins=0 mac_strip_release=0 dcheck_always_on=1' \
third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
--use-analyzer $PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang \
build/gyp_chromium -Goutput_dir=out_analyze
```
You then need to run the build under scan-build too, to get a HTML report:
```
time third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
--use-analyzer $PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang \
ninja -C out_analyze/Release/ base
```
Then run `scan-view` as described above.
