9 analyzer reported mostly uninteresting things. This assumes you're
10 [building chromium with clang](clang.md).

12 You need an llvm checkout to get `scan-build` and `scan-view`; the easiest way 10 To enable static analysis for your build, add the following line to your
13 to get that is to run 11 output directory's `args.gn`:
14 12
15 ```shell 13 ```
16 tools/clang/scripts/update.py --force-local-build --without-android 14 use_clang_static_analyzer = true
17 ``` 15 ```
18 16
19 ## With make 17 The next time you rebuild, you should see static analysis warnings appear inline
18 with the usual Clang build warnings and errors.

21 To build base, if you use the make build: 20 ## Future plans/potential issues
22 21 * Support for running under GOMA is untested, but will be added shortly if
23 ``` 22 feasible.
24 builddir_name=out_analyze \
25 PATH=$PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin:$PATH \
26 third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
27 --keep-going --use-cc clang --use-c++ clang++ \
28 make -j8 base
29 ```
30
31 (`builddir_name` is set to force a clobber build.)
32
33 Once that's done, run `third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-view/scan-view`
34 to see the results; pass in the pass that `scan-build` outputs.
35
36 ## With ninja
37
38 scan-build does its stuff by mucking with $CC/$CXX, which ninja ignores. gyp
39 does look at $CC/$CXX however, so you need to first run gyp\_chromium under
40 scan-build:
41
42 ```shell
43 time GYP_GENERATORS=ninja \
44 GYP_DEFINES='component=shared_library clang_use_chrome_plugins=0 \
45 mac_strip_release=0 dcheck_always_on=1' \
46 third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
47 --use-analyzer $PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang \
48 build/gyp_chromium -Goutput_dir=out_analyze
49 ```
50
51 You then need to run the build under scan-build too, to get a HTML report:
52
53 ```shell
54 time third_party/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scan-build/scan-build \
55 --use-analyzer $PWD/third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang \
56 ninja -C out_analyze/Release/ base
57 ```
58
59 Then run `scan-view` as described above.
