Visual Lint 8.0.6.347 - a Clang download here, a CppCheck download there....
Tuesday 16th November, 2021
Visual Lint 8.0.6.347 has now been released.
The most notable changes in this build relate to configuration - in particular, the user interface now embeds links to the installers for open source analysis tools, which should make configuring Visual Lint much easier:
This change was prompted by the fact that the Clang-Tidy installers are quite hard to find on the LLVM Download page, but is also applicable to (for example) CppCheck.
Visual Lint 8.0.6.347 is a recommended maintenance update for Visual Lint 8.0, and includes the following changes:
-
Added direct download links for open source analysis tools such as Clang-Tidy and CppCheck to the Configuration Wizard, Options Dialog and Active Analysis Tool Dialog.
-
When the installation folder of an analysis tool is set in the Configuration Wizard for a particular IDE/project type, the path will now be used as the default for all project types. It can of course still be overridden on a project type by project type (or solution/workspace/project by solution/workspace/project) basis as required.
-
Updated the PC-lint Plus compiler indirect file
co-rb-vs2022.lntto support the public release of Visual Studio 2022 v17.0.0. -
Updated the Clang-Tidy message database to reflect changes in Clang-Tidy 13.0.0.
-
Corrected the "Status" text in the "Active Analysis Tool" dialog.
