Hi All!
I would like to create a snap package from CodeChecker and I would like to request a classic confinement for it.
CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy.
There are multiple reasons why we need classic confinement:
-
CodeChecker log command which runs the given build command (simple calls to ‘g++’, ‘clang++’, ‘make’, etc) and records the executed compilation steps by creating a Compilation Database. There are many different build systems, different compilers so we can’t install a specific version from it inside the snap package and assume that every project can be built with it.
-
CodeChecker analyze command which uses the previously created Compilation Database to perform an analysis on the project. In this phase we call the ‘clang’ and ‘clang-tidy’ binaries from the user’s host machine. Most of our users are using custom clang versions (they are building own versions) so we can’t install a specific version in the snap package.
You can find more information about these commands inside our documentation.
Best Regards,
Marton
