CodeSonar Release 5.1, patchlevel 1: Release Notes

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

Official Release Date: September 4, 2019

cl6x compiler model Now specifies C/C++ version-related front end options in the following cases, which fixes parse errors.

Condition	Front end option specified
Command line option --c99 is specified.	--c99
Native compiler is cl6x with version string 8003000 or later.	--c++14
Native compiler is armcl with version string `18001000` or later.	--c++14
Native compiler is cl2000 with version string `18001000` or later.	--c++14
Native compiler is cl430 with version string `18001000` or later.	--c++14

cl compiler model Reliability improvements.

HTML5 Visualization Tool Visualization link options in the CodeSonar GUI now include the new HTML5 Visualization Tool only in contexts where it is available (in particular, it is not available for inspecting taint or exploring call paths in the context of a warning).
Note that HTML5 Visualization Tool is under active development and will have broader availability and functionality in future CodeSonar releases.

Compiler-Specific Configuration. Compiler-dependent configuration parameters CS_TARG_PTRDIFF_T_INT_KIND and CS_TARG_SIZEOF_POINTER are no longer required to have the same value. This fixes parse errors.

Note on the HTML5 Visualization Tool

The JavaScript-based HTML5 Visualization Tool introduced in CodeSonar 5.1p0 provides a web-based GUI for examining and exploring your program's call tree.

Navigate to the HTML5 Visualization Tool by clicking Call Tree > graphical (html5) in the Info tab of the Information Window.

Note that this is the only context in which the HTML5 Visualization Tool is currently available. Further HTML5 Visualization Tool functionality will be added in future releases.

The Windows installer will not install CodeSonar in a directory that already exists. If you intend to install in the same location as a previous version of CodeSonar, and you have edited any files in the installation directory, make copies of those files before you uninstall CodeSonar and delete the directory.

Existing analysis results will be preserved when you upgrade, provided that your hub directory is not located under the CodeSonar installation directory. (If it is, move it before you upgrade.)

The Installation manual section provides instructions for installing CodeSonar.
