Re: [Ann] AdaControl 1.18r8 released

[artium@nihamkin.com]

Thank you for the update and the work you do.

I would like to raise an issue with static analysis tools, style checkers and similar tools that is particularly valid for tools aiming at Ada projects.

Sometimes a developer decides to try these tools on an already existing codebase. This will lead to thouthands of violations.

Fixing them is not acceptable in a field tested code.

The developer would like to know only about the violations in the newly added code.

Allowing this requires integration with source control tools and the ability to parse the analysis tool's log in a smart way (for example adding a line of code in the beginning of the file, will cause all the lines of the violations to increase by one)


It is interesting to hear your thoughts about this, and if you are aware of any solutions used by AdaControl users.
