I have been trying to get clang’s analysis tool working, but I am not sure how to overcome a particular error when I run it. I have installed X-Code 4.0 and iOS 5 the output I get is:

I have researched the internet but I have found nothing to help my specific problem. I think what i need to do is edit the clang tool to not include the “nodistribute” option, but im not sure if there is another way or where to get the source code to do so. Thanks in advance for any help.
I found a way around this after a lot of looking for an answer I decided to see if I could modify the line of code that was including the
-nodistributeoption. So I used grep to find the line of code in the .app bundle and then opened it in vi. I added a comment # to the line and bingo, off to the races.The file, relative to the app bundle root is found at:
./Resources/llvm/utils/scan-build
