如何运行GCC / Clang进行静态分析？ （仅警告）

Question

Without compiling code, I would like GCC or Clang to report warnings.
Is it possible to run the compiler for static analysis only?
I can't find a way to pass the compiler warning flags and tell it not to compile.

edit: just found that clang has a static analyser

Answer 1

GCC和Clang都具有-fsyntax-only选项，该选项使编译器仅执行语法检查，而没有任何实际的编译。

Answer 2

In addition to the other replies, gcc is doing some analysis during compilation (and even during some optimization passes). So you could discard the generated code and still get all the warnings with eg gcc -Wall -O -c code.c -o /dev/null

Notice that you could extend GCC with your additional passes doing some additional, application specific, checks and warnings, eg with MELT (a high level domain specific language to extend GCC).

If you want strong static analysis and are willing to give additional annotations for that purpose consider also Frama C .
