Features

SonarSource has developed its own state of the art C parser and packaged it as a Sonar product extension. It allows to perform objective and automated C code reviews against pre-defined or homemade coding best practices. This product benefits from the power of the Open Source Sonar platform by reusing all available core services : Violations drilldown, Hotspots, Code viewer with syntax highlighting, TimeMachine, Clouds, Coding rule profile management, etc. This product can also be used along with the SonarSource Views product to aggregate C projects and easily manage a portfolio with millions lines of code.

Key features of the product are :

  • The product embeds its own lexer, preprocessors and parser, so the C source code doesn’t need to be preprocessed before being analyzed.
  • The rules associated to the product are available in the Sonar open source forge.
  • Ability to extend the out-the-box rule engine by writing custom rules
  • Deactivation of false positive violations using the tag //NOSONAR in C source code
  • Ability to track parsing issues by using rules violations
  • Easy usage : download the jar, start Sonar and launch mvn sonar:sonar. There isn’t any dependency on third party tool.
  • Excellent performances, analyzes millions of lines of code in minutes
