Source code analysis

I've never used any tool to analyze the quality of my code, I usually just try to keep SLOC (or rather number of logical statements) as low as possible. I've found out there's Sonar, which is available in AUR, but I'm sure there are others available.
I'm mostly developing in Python, so I'm primarily looking for a tool with support for Python code. Just mentioning it since it's relevant.
But I'm more interested in how many of you use such tools and which of them do you use.

pylint and pyflakes are popular for Python. Both check for logical errors, and are usually quite good at finding them.
pylint also partially checks for PEP 8 conformance, and questionable or dangerous code. For instance, it hints non-conforming names like classes starting with a lower case letter, unused variables or arguments, and constructs considered questionable by the pylint developers. The latter includes among other things use of the builtin map and filter functions, and *args and **kwargs syntax, which is not agreed on by some Python users. You can however disable or configure warnings emitted by pylint in a very finely grained manner, and thus turn warnings of on per line, per block, per object, per file and per project basis. By and large, pylint is used by most Python developers and projects, and more or less *the* error checker for Python code. It is definitely recommendable, and already integrated in many IDEs (WingIDE, the Pydev plugin for Eclipse and others).
pyflakes only focuses on logical errors, and does neither check for coding style nor for "dangerous code". It's output is consequently less verbose and it normally doesn't need any configuration. When it comes to error checking, it is however not less recommendable than Pylint, though not as widely used among Python developers.
Concering coding style, there is another tool, named pep8, which rigidly checks for PEP 8 conformance, especially with regards to names. PEP 8 is *the* Python style guide, and is adopted and partially enforced by many popular Python projects. If you contribute to such projects, or want to write code whose style is accepted by the vast majority of Python developers, or want to avoid nit-picky style remarks when showing your Python code in some Python forum, you may find this tool quite useful.

Source code analysis tools for ActionScript 2?

I have been tasked with performing source code analysis on a very large (>1000 files) AS2 codebase.
Not surprisingly, Googling is not yielding useful results. Before declaring defeat, I felt it important to query this forum.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

We'd like to evaluate the hundreds of files using a static analysis tool, just as one would use lint for a C codebase.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Error during analysis of source code

Hi,
I am trying to add a field to the search criteria and i have followed the steps as given in the cook book. I am stuck at a point where on trying to add the custom field to the existing code i get an error message - "Error during analysis of Source code". This pop up comes at the end of the wizard.
I also tried to create a new context node but at the end of the wizard i get the pop up and the same message inside.
I searched in SDN and found out that this error could occur if the context node class is not active. In my case, all the three classes : Controller , context and context node class are active.
Could some one throw some light as to why this error message occurs?
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Experts,
I'm also getting a similar error but at the time of creating a new event. All the classes are active without errors.
How do we resolve this.
Appreciate your help.

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

New Front-End Editor is Dumping when I try to check an ABAP source code

Hi Experts
I'm trying to check the source code of any ABAP in SE38 with the new front-end editor, but I'm facing a dump, maybe there is missing a patch or something like that. if any of you have information about that I really appreciate your aswers.
I reinstalled the SAP GUI and still have the issue.
part of the dump is here
Runtime Errors         MESSAGE_TYPE_X
Date and Time          04/09/2008 15:12:51
Short text
     The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
     The current application program detected a situation which really
     should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was
     triggered on purpose by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
Error analysis
     Short text of error message:
     Control Framework : Error processing control
     Long text of error message:
      Diagnosis
          An error occurred when the system tried to process the commands
          from the Automation Queue on the presentation server.
          There are several possible reasons for this:
          - The installation of the SAP GUI on the presentation server is
          faulty or obsolete.
          - There is an error in the application program
          - There is an error in the SAPGUI or an integrated control

Hernan Enriquez ,
                           Hi you can try the below things :
1) You need have the latest patch of the SAP GUI installed.
2) If you have the above try to re-install the GUI from the scratch. It might be courrupted.
3) If VISTA need to check the GUI compatibility.
Thanks,

W3_PUBLISH_SERVICES and dump while viewing the source code in se80

Hi,
external ITS6.20 on SAP R/3 4.7
we have installed ITS and we published the templates. When we published the teampltes using the standard prgram   W3_PUBLISH_SERVICES, and around 43 of the services fail Not sure if this is an error
After the upgrade is finished, you must make this up, before you can use the Internet applications of the system. For a detailed procedure description see Note 399578.
or not.
On the other hand when i go to se 80 and try to view the source code of any ITS service lets say PZM3 in my case, the entire application goes for a dump with error
Exception condition "INVALID PARAM VERB: TEXTSTREAM" raised.
What happened?
The current ABAP/4 program encountered an unexpected
situation.
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
date.
Error analysis
A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLOLEA " raised the exception
condition "INVALID PARAM VERB: TEXTSTREAM".
Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior program
in the hierarchy, processing was terminated.
Short description of exception condition:
For detailed documentation of the exception condition, use
Transaction SE37 (Function Library). You can take the called
function module from the display of active calls.
How to correct the error
You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
use the following search criteria:
The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLOLEA " in
"AC_FLUSH_CALL_INTERNAL".
The main program was "SAPMSEU0 ".
The termination occurred in line 220 of the source code of the (Include)
program "LOLEAU10 "
of the source code of program "LOLEAU10 " (when calling the editor 2200).
Any deas what the error could be??
On the other hand i tried to see the Service 'System' and 'webgui' from se80 di dnot find any..
Any ideas if we are missing in our landscape.

The services system and webgui are shipped within the installer of ITS 6.20. So you can't find them in the database via SE80, instead only in the filesystem.
Not your main problem, I know, but I just wanted to clarify.

Lost the webdynpro application source code

Hi Experts,
We have some webdynpro applications. Presently running in Portal server. One of the application is giving the error. we need to fix that issue. Since we don't have any NWDI system, One of the application source code got corrupted, Kindly let me know is there any we can retrieve the source from the deployed application or .ear file from Portal.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Guru,
I think it is not possible to get the whole project structure.
But you can get the java files of your local DC project by logging into your portal using the url http://host_name:5000/nwa.
Navigate to Analysis ->Configuration ->J2EE Configuration Browser . Click on Local System Node ->apps->sap.com. Under sap.com(or the domain you have defined namespace) you can find a u2018src.zipu2019 file. In this u2018srcu2019 folder you can find the java files.
If the error has occurred in your project while modifying particular webdynpro file, then you can get the previous version of the file(file before the error occurred) by navigating to C:\Documents\SAP\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.history location in you local system. In history folder you can find all the versions of the webdynpro file which you were modifying till now.
Thanks,
Shilpa

Extracting operators and operands from the source code

Hi there,
I am looking for a way to extract operators and operands from a source code to do a complexity analysis of the code. The final outcome I am expecting is to get the number of operators and operands in the code, to perform a Halstead Complexity Analysis.
Please let me know how this parsing can be done apart from just doing a sequential search of the content in the file.
Any samples and references are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Common way to analyze code is to defining the things you are interested in using some approproate language and then using a parser generator (or compiler compiler = cc). I used antlr some time ago for this reason. Perhaps you want to take a look at it:
