Lot of gray today, but no rain yet!!! (and I'm doing my best to ignore this weekend weather reports) Anyway I added a new Gendarme rule, ReviewUseOfInt64BitsToDoubleRule, to check if the use of BitConverter.Int64BitsToDouble looks ok (i.e. converting bits) instead of a integer to double routine. Like a lot of the recent rules the idea for this one comes from findbugs - a java-based tool. poupou — 3 months ago tags: Gendarme,FindBugs
FindBugs looks for bugs in Java programs. It can detect a variety of common coding mistakes, including thread synchronization problems, misuse of API methods, etc. It is written in the GJ dialect of Java, and will run on any Java VM compatible with Sun's JDK 1.4.0 or later. It includes both GUI (Swing) and commandline frontends.
Ohloh Analysis Summary
- Mostly written in Java
- Mature, well-established codebase
- Decreasing year-over-year development activity

useful!
by ChrisDolan
FindBugs is shockingly useful. I've run it on Java code that I thought was bulletproof only to reveal synchronization errors. It's found real bugs for me in Colletion.remove() where I mistakenly passed an instance of the wrong type so the remove is guaranteed to silently fail.
The Eclipse and Ant plugins make FindBugs an integral part of my development.

High Value, Low Noise
by MarkEWaite
Most of the static code analysis tools I've used over the years have shown a large amount of "noise" complaining about stylistic issues and a small amount of "value" detecting bugs in the code. This tool is different! The detected bugs make up the bulk of its reports.
I've used findbugs many different times and continue to be impressed with the accuracy of its assessments. It seems that the common mistakes it detects in the Java byte code are also common mistakes made by the programmers on my team, and we benefit by its analysis.
