Analyzing Your Source Code


Analyzing Your Code

The easiest way to analyze your code is to use Understand for Ada's GUI to build and parse a project.

You can also use command line tools for batch processing of source files and generation of information reports. Refer to Command Line Processing for details on the command line tools "undada" and "repada".

The Understand for Ada Repository

The Understand for Ada repository is a binary format that uses a proprietary network/object format optimized for storing the sort of information Understand for Ada offers. It permits multiple simultaneous read access but doesn't (yet) have multi-user write access.

The repository is divided into libraries, which can be used to partition analysis so that results can be browsed and/or reported on separately. Note that libraries do not affect semantic analysis/name resolution when parsing source code and are not useful for storing separate implementations of Ada specifications as is sometime done with compiler library sub-partitions.

By default a library named "Standard" is created. If a library name is not specfied, the default library name is "Application". The user could report on information (including use of Standard) on just their code, or on a given combination of CSCIs or VxWorks binding.
