I am from the embedded domain, in which typically, our code works on the hardware. We follow a standard called MISRA guidelines. The MISRA guidelines were not appropriately reported. There were some flags or errors. I was working on C++ code and there were certain class categories, which were C standards, and were being reported in C++, where C++ is a higher-level language, some of those may not even be applicable in the latest C++ version that we had. The reporting could improve to make the solution better. In a future release, the solution should upgrade itself to the current trends and differentiate between the languages. If there are any classifications that can be set for these programming languages that would be helpful rather than having everything in the generic category.

This is the first time I've used this kind of software. It was the only one we could apply to analyze with MISRA rules. At my new company, I tried to use Klocwork. I tried to use it, just once so I cannot compare it exactly with CodeSonar. I also have a plugin for my Visual Studio and I try to make it work. It's not easy, however, I don't think that we have this kind of functionality with CodeSonar. It can do some incremental analysis. However, since this feature is also available on CodeSonar, it would be a good idea to have a plugin on Visual Studio just to have a quick analysis.
