Question

Does anybody have any success running clang static analyzer on Windows?

I have successfully built llvm and clang (using VS 2008). Running scan-build results in the following error:

The getpwuid function is unimplemented at scan-build line 35.

Some research shows that getpwuid is not supported on Windows platforms.

Answer 1

change the call to …

my $UserName =  HtmlEscape('unknown')

scan-build is a perl script, so will need some handy fixes to execute scan build on windows.. these are

-> point those variables to look at the absolute physical path

my $ClangSB, my $Clang; $Dir = "/tmp"; my $Cmd ; and my $CmdCXX

please remember, that my $Cmd ; and my $CmdCXX is path of ccc-analyzer and c++-analyzer … which are also perl scripts, so please place a perl -w in front of absolute path string..

and also disable the variable check right after declaration…

! -x $blaBla is problematic on windows…

beside you will also need these changes

–> CHANGE

open(PIPE, "-|", $Clang, "-cc1", "-help") or

to

open(PIPE, "-|", "$Clang"." -cc1"." -help") or

surprise, scan-build is working on windows.. 🙂
