Checkers

Klocwork checkers scour your source code for defects and potential vulnerabilities. At the most basic level, checkers provide the logic that drives the Klocwork analysis. See the following sections below for information about individual checkers and standards that Klocwork supports.

If you need to adhere to one or more coding standards, we've mapped our C/C++ and Java checkers to a set of coding standards. See Coding standards mapped to Klocwork checkers.

In addition to providing a rich set of checkers, you can write and deploy custom checkers. See Writing and deploying new checkers.
