Unnecessary #includes can cause + considerable extra compiles increasing the edit-compile-run cycle. + + The project home page is: http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/ + + +Features: +--------- + * Find and print C++ language constructs: classes, methods, functions, etc. + * Find classes with virtual methods, no virtual destructor, and no bases + * Find global/static data that are potential problems when using threads + * Unnecessary forward class declarations + * Unnecessary function declarations + * Undeclared function definitions + * (planned) Find unnecessary header files #included + - No direct reference to anything in the header + - Header is unnecessary if classes were forward declared instead + * (planned) Source files that reference headers not directly #included, + ie, files that rely on a transitive #include from another header + * (planned) Unused members (private, protected, & public) methods and data + * (planned) Store AST in a SQL database so relationships can be queried + +AST is Abstract Syntax Tree, a representation of parsed source code. +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree + + +System Requirements: +-------------------- + * Python 2.4 or later (2.3 probably works too) + * Works on Windows (untested), Mac OS X, and Unix + + +How to Run: +----------- + For all examples, it is assumed that cppclean resides in a directory called + /cppclean. + + To print warnings for classes with virtual methods, no virtual destructor and + no base classes: + + /cppclean/run.sh nonvirtual_dtors.py file1.h file2.h file3.cc ... + + To print all the functions defined in header file(s): + + /cppclean/run.sh functions.py file1.h file2.h ... + + All the commands take multiple files on the command line. Other programs + include: find_warnings, headers, methods, and types. Some other programs + are available, but used primarily for debugging. + + run.sh is a simple wrapper that sets PYTHONPATH to /cppclean and then + runs the program in /cppclean/cpp/PROGRAM.py. There is currently + no equivalent for Windows. Contributions for a run.bat file + would be greatly appreciated. + + +How to Configure: +----------------- + You can add a siteheaders.py file in /cppclean/cpp to configure where + to look for other headers (typically -I options passed to a compiler). + Currently two values are supported: _TRANSITIVE and GetIncludeDirs. + _TRANSITIVE should be set to a boolean value (True or False) indicating + whether to transitively process all header files. The default is False. + + GetIncludeDirs is a function that takes a single argument and returns + a sequence of directories to include. This can be a generator or + return a static list. + + def GetIncludeDirs(filename): + return ['/some/path/with/other/headers'] + + # Here is a more complicated example. + def GetIncludeDirs(filename): + yield '/path1' + yield os.path.join('/path2', os.path.dirname(filename)) + yield '/path3' + + +How to Test: +------------ + For all examples, it is assumed that cppclean resides in a directory called + /cppclean. The tests require + + cd /cppclean + make test + # To generate expected results after a change: + make expected + + +Current Status: +--------------- + The parser works pretty well for header files, parsing about 99% of Google's + header files. Anything which inspects structure of C++ source files should + work reasonably well. Function bodies are not transformed to an AST, + but left as tokens. Much work is still needed on finding unused header files + and storing an AST in a database. + + +Non-goals: +---------- + * Parsing all valid C++ source + * Handling invalid C++ source gracefully + * Compiling to machine code (or anything beyond an AST) + + +Contact: +-------- + If you used cppclean, I would love to hear about your experiences + cppclean@googlegroups.com. Even if you don't use cppclean, I'd like to + hear from you. :-) (You can contact me directly at: nnorwitz@gmail.com) |
