static-analysis

I really like it when methods of objects, which modify the objects property, return self so that you can chain method calls. For example: boundingBox.grow(0.05).shift(x=1.3) instead of boundingBox.grow(0.05) boundingBox.shift(x=1.3) I would like to search the code of my old projects to adjust this pattern. How can I find methods which don't have a return statement? Ideally, I would like to let a program run over a folder. The program searches Python files, looks for classes, examines their methods and searches return statements. If no return statement is there, it outputs the filename, the

I'm wondering if there is a tool to find uncaught exceptions in C# using static code analysis? Basically I want to select a methodA() and want a list of all exceptions thrown by methodA() and all methods called by methodA(). I tried ReSharper + Agent Johnson and AtomineerUtils , both fail this simple task. Here's my example code: public class Rectangle { public int Width { get; set; } public int Height { get; set; } public int Area() { CheckProperties(); long x = Width * Height; if (x > 10) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); return (int) x; } private void CheckProperties() { if (Width <

Is there a way to programmatically check if a single C source file is potentially harmful? I know that no check will yield 100% accuracy -- but am interested at least to do some basic checks that will raise a red flag if some expressions / keywords are found. Any ideas of what to look for? Note: the files I will be inspecting are relatively small in size (few 100s of lines at most), implementing numerical analysis functions that all operate in memory . No external libraries (except math.h) shall be used in the code. Also, no I/O should be used (functions will be run with in-memory arrays).

see also VB.NET Static Code Anaylsis For better or for worst we now have a VB.NET coding standards document that is based on a C# coding standard as enforced by StyleCop. For example the number of spaces you should put in each side of a “+” sign etc all instance Members (fields and methods!) must be access as “me.fieldName” all shared members must be accessed as “className.fieldName” As I tend to think: If it’s in a requirements document it should be check for by an automatic system I am looking for (ideally free) tools that will check for that short of rules on VB.NET code, as these are style
