Has anyone managed to get Splint working, specifically when using windows headers?
It would be a good additional tool to have.
Splint is a tool for statically checking C programs for security vulnerabilities and coding mistakes.

I found this from net:
http://www.splint.org/vc.splintrc (http://www.splint.org/vc.splintrc)
.splintrc
-I.
-D_M_IX86=400
-DWIN32
-D_NTSYSTEM
-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400
-DWINVER=600
-DNOGDI
-DNOKERNEL
-DNOUSER
-DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
-likelybool
-D__int64=long
-D_int64=int
-D_wtoi=atoi

Thanks, yes I have that one.
I've managed to compile a version of Splint, it's huge, for me anyway. Have changed the way it loads its .splintrc to be splint.flags - seems more reasonable.
The .splintrc file (or splint.flags) btw has to be in the folder where splint is testing, not in the bin folder which is what I thought at first.
I've added -DHWND=void to that splintrc list that you showed.
Anyway, it's a good tool but getting it to accept windows headers will not be easy.

Can you put that splint.exe and those PellesC projectfiles to your homesite ?
-
The Splint.exe requires splint.flags to be in the folder you are testing which you will find in the bin folder..
The project on my site is here
http://www.johnfindlay.plus.com/pellesc/splint-3.0.1.6-2.win32.zip
(http://www.johnfindlay.plus.com/pellesc/splint-3.0.1.6-2.win32.zip)
I have removed many files that were gcc specific, the original package can be had from here
http://www.splint.org/downloads/binaries/splint-3.0.1.6-2.win32.zip
(http://www.splint.org/downloads/binaries/splint-3.0.1.6-2.win32.zip)
EDIT: for anyone interested - set up splint.exe to be called as a tool form the IDE. Set it to capture the output from splint.exe.
Arguments example - $(FileDir)\*.c

I'm now testing Splint 3.1.1
From: http://lclint.cs.virginia.edu/downloads/binaries/splint-3.1.1.win32.zip (http://lclint.cs.virginia.edu/downloads/binaries/splint-3.1.1.win32.zip)
In PellesC IDE Tools:
Menu text: Splint-3.1.1
Command: C:\CODE\Splint-3.1.1\bin\Splint.exe
Arguments: $(FilePath) -f C:\CODE\Splint-3.1.1\bin\.splintrc
Use output tab
Result using windef.h :
Splint 3.1.1 --- 12 April 2003
C:\Program Files\PellesC6\Include\Win\winnt.h(3012,13):
Parse Error. (For help on parse errors, see splint -help parseerrors.)

Yes that's the problem.
If you try it on an C files that doesn't use any windows stuff it should be ok.
>>Arguments: $(FilePath) -f C:\CODE\Splint-3.1.1\bin\.splintrc
However I'm not sure why you are calling up the .splintrc file, you should be testing a C file. Or have I misunderstood?
John
-
>>Arguments: $(FilePath) -f C:\CODE\Splint-3.1.1\bin\.splintrc
This way you don't have to worry about that working directory.
-
>>Arguments: $(FilePath) -f C:\CODE\Splint-3.1.1\bin\.splintrc
This way you don't have to worry about that working directory.
But you need to tell it where the C files are.
Arguments - $(FileDir)\*.c
Slpnit.exe will look in that folder for the .splintrc automatically.

I think the -f switch is keeping you from the need to copy the configuration file to any folder containing source code to check, which in turn keeps it simple to update the settings if needed and check again.
No littering of the disk too.
-
Oh, ok.
Of course you might want different splintrc files for different projects.
John

Since this is a .rc file it is a UNIX utility, where you usually have the following order of precedence for .rc files:
- application installation folder
- system configuration folder
- executing user home folder
- current working folder
For Windows the developer has to make sure to search for system-wide, user-specific and location-specific setting files.

Thanks for the information, I know nothing of Unix.

This config goes thru windows.h in PellesC 6 and i can check my own code too.

I'm sure you have improved things but I get

The second error in winnt.h is this line.

I'll have to make time to study all the options.

Yes that's a better splint.exe. Using your splintrc settings I get this for FindFile.c
