Quick Start

The following is an example of the steps required to gather information about your code and how to view the results with Code Analyzer, using a sample C program.

Quick Start

1. Compile a program to collect static data.

   % cc -xprevise=yes *.c

   ---

   Note -  Previously, you could compile with the –xanalyze=code option. This option is still valid for Oracle Developer Studio12.5 but is EOL.

   ---

2. Recompile program with debug information.

   % cc -g *.c

3. Instrument program with discover and run program to collect dynamic memory access data.

   % cp a.out a.out.save
   % discover -a a.out
   % a.out

4. Instrument program with uncover and run program to collect code coverage data.

   % cp a.out.save a.out
   % uncover a.out
   % a.out
   % uncover -a a.out.uc

5. After the information has been gathered, you can choose to use Code Analyzer with the GUI or the codean command-line tool to display the collected data.
   • For accessing Code Analyzer with the GUI, use the following command:

     % code-analyzer a.out

   • For accessing Code Analyzer with the command-line tool, use the following command:

     % codean a.out
