Looking for tools for static/dynamic code analysis for Linux

like2learn · 09-11-2010, 06:08 PM

I am currently looking for tools for static/dynamic code analysis for embedded
Linux system development (both device driver and user space apps). We
will use Eclipse IDE and C++ lanuage.
I hope the tools are easy-to-use, reliable, popular, better with good
supports, and not-too-expensive.

I already find a list of tools at WiKi, however, I don't have time to
try them all. Could anyboy please recommend me a few? If you can tell
me briefly about their pros and cons, that will be the bet.

Thank you very much for sharing and help!

As mentioned previously:

One of the best tools I'm aware of is "Understand for C/C++". But, AFAIK, the current version is available for Windows only:

Another (open source!) alternative you might be interested in is the "Metrics" Eclipse plug in:
