CodePeer
CodePeer is an open source static analysis tool, which identifies constructs that are likely to lead to run-time errors such as buffer overflows, and it flags legal but suspect code, typical of logic errors [1] in Ada programs. All Ada run-time checks are exhaustively verified by CodePeer, which also means that if no such messages are generated, it gives a greater confidence in the code.[2] CodePeer also produces a detailed analysis of each subprogram, including pre- and post-conditions, making it easier to find potential bugs and vulnerabilities early.[3]
CodePeer is produced by AdaCore, a computer software company with North American headquarters in New York and European headquarters in Paris.
