The kwcollect command (like Kwcscollect for C#) is a lightweight tool that you can use to collect C/C++ data and submit to Klocwork Support to receive additional help with build errors.

Usage

kwpython kwcollect.py [<options>] <tables_dir>

where

<options> is any of the kwcollect options listed below
<tables_dir> is the tables directory of the project you want to collect data for

Examples

If you want to add multiple files to an archive to collect data on, run the following:

kwpython kwcollect.py -f "file1" -a "file2" -o "myarchive" "C:\Klocwork\Server 18.1\My_tables"

Note: There must either be build errors in the project, or at least one source file must be specified with -f in order for kwcollect to pack any data. Any files specified with the ‘-a’ option will not pack anything unless there are build errors in the project.

If you want to collect data for your entire project, run the following:

kwpython kwcollect.py --all-sources "C:\Klocwork\Server 18.1\My_tables"
