Variable Data Flow

Multiple levels of pointer indirection. Passing by reference. Dynamic memory allocation. Type casting. These are among the features that give C and C++ so much power. They also introduce more possibility for design and programming error, and make tracing data flow difficult. Imagix 4D can help.

For C and C++ developers 

   
    

      

        

          

          Trace Data Flow
          

          

      Follow the flow of calculations that go into or result from the current value of a variable.  Use upstream / downstream dependency info for:

          Test Variable Usage
          

          

      Variable-related errors can lead directly to serious impacts, as well as point to underlying design or implementation issues.  Reports:
        
    
           
  • Unused Variables
    • 
           
  • Uninitialized Variables Read
    • 
           
  • Useless Variable Assignments
    • 
           
  • Concurrency Conflicts
    •
