Studio developers,
Thanks you so much for your great product and ability to use it free for individual developers.
Could you help me with the above question - can I use PVS-Studio Free with Unreal Engine 4? If yes - can you provide some tutorial or help information?
Thanks.
You can use PVS-Studio Free by adding special comments to the files with the source code of only your project. The Unreal Engine 4 files or any other third-party library should be excluded from the analysis in the settings of the analyzer.
If you use PVS-Stuio Plugin for Visual Studio or Standalone, add the path to the library in the menu Options --> Don’t Check Files.
If you use a utility pvs-studio-analyzer in Linux, then use the parameter –e:
pvs-studio-analyzer analyze … -e /path/to/lib/ …
Note: due to the peculiarities of the build system (for example, during the auto-generation of the compilable files), this comment will be lost, free PVS-Studio mode will not be available. Unfortunately, such non-standard scenarios do not fall under the support that we provide for the free version of PVS-Studio. If you have such a situation, we suggest using a usual trial mode to assess the abilities of the analyzer.
