The Clang Static Analyzer is a source code analysis tool that finds bugs in C, C++, and Objective-C programs.
-Currently it can be run either from the command - line or if you use macOS then within Xcode. When -invoked from the command line, it is intended to be run in tandem with a build -of a codebase.
- -The analyzer is 100% open source and is part of the Clang project. Like the rest of Clang, the -analyzer is implemented as a C++ library that can be used by other tools and -applications.
- -The analyzer is 100% open source and is part of the Clang +project. Like the rest of Clang, the analyzer is implemented as a C++ library +that can be used by other tools and applications.
For other platforms, please follow the instructions for building the analyzer from - source code.

To get started with the Clang Static Analyzer, visit the + LLVM + releases page for download and installation instructions. The official + releases include both the analyzer and scan-build, + a command-line tool for running the analyzer on your codebase.
+ +If you're installing Clang from a different source, such as + a Linux package repository, then scan-build may be packaged + separately as an individual package, or as part of + a "clang tools" package.
+ +If your IDE is using Clang, it may natively integrate the static analyzer. + On macOS, the easiest way to use the static analyzer is to invoke it + directly + from Xcode.
+ +Additionally, if you're using clang-tidy, + you can naturally make the static analyzer run alongside clang-tidy + by enabling the clang-analyzer + checks.
