Below are notes describing how to use the 'clang static analyzer' with Eclipse & CDT.

• Start eclipse and create, or open, a C project.
• Select, and right click, on your C Project in the 'Project Explorer'.
• From the popup menu select 'Properties'.
• In the 'Properties' dialog select 'C/C++ Build.
• Un-select 'use default build command'.
• Change the 'build command' from 'make' to 'scan-build make'.
  
  

• In the 'Properties' dialog select 'C/C++ Build -> Settings.
• Change the compiler from 'gcc' to '$(CC)'.
  
  

• Rebuild your project.
• Clang will report problems during the build as warnings. For example:

  "../main.c"
  ANALYZE: ../main.c foo
  ../main.c:11:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
          return retval;
          ^
  

• Clang will also provide an html report for any problems found. The report is easily found from the last few lines of the build output:

  scan-build: 1 bugs found.
  scan-build: Run 'scan-view /tmp/scan-build-2011-06-02-10' to examine bug reports
