What's new in Imagix 4D 10.5.1
May 23, 2023
- Release 10.5 of Imagix 4D supports a new checklist for MISRA C++ 2008. 10.5.1 added a checklist for AUTOSAR C++ 2014, and adds support for running some operations of the Review Tool through batch mode commands.
- 10.5.1 also adds the ability to load source code into the tool through the Microsoft Visual Studio Build logfiles. And 10.5.1 completes support for C++ 2022. 10.5.1 also fixes some bugs.
- Review Tool:
- A new Review Tool checklist provides guided checklist review of the all rules except chapter 14 in MISRA C++:2008, the current version of the standard for best practices in developing safety-related embedded electronic systems and other software-intensive applications in C++. In 10.5.1, a new Review Tool checklist provides guided checklist review of AUTOSAR C++ 2014. The main application is automotive, but it can be used in other embedded application sectors.
- Also in 10.5.1, batch mode commands have been added to the command line interface for creating new reviews and comparing results between reviews. These commands are well suited for automating CI/CD comparing between versions. See /user/user_cmd.txt for more detail.
- Data Collection:
- In 10.5.1, the C/C++ source analyzer has been enhanced to complete support of C++ 2022. Also in 10.5.1, a new approach for specifying your source code and how to analyze it has been added. Related to the Extract from Makelog approach, but specifically for Microsoft Visual Studio environments, it uses information that can be generated by the MSBuild system.
