Enable and disable checkers

You enable and disable checkers in the Configuration Editor, accessed through the Klocwork Properties dialog.

If your solution contains both C/C++ and C# projects, you configure C/C++ issues in the C++ Projects tab, and C# issues in the C# Projects tab. Each Configuration Editor shows only checkers and taxonomies applicable to the language. Taxonomies containing both C/C++ and C# checkers appear in each Configuration Editor, but show only those issue types applicable to the language.

To enable or disable checkers:

  1. Right-click a solution and select Klocwork Solution Properties.
  2. Click the C/C++ projects or C# projects tab.
  3. Select and deselect checkers as required. To learn more about the checkers, see C and C++ checker reference and C# checker reference.

    Tip:  You can also disable a checker by right-clicking a defect in the Klocwork Issues window, and selecting Manage <checker name> Checker > Disable <checker name> Checker.

  4. Use the Search field to locate checkers by code, title, reference, category or taxonomy.

    Your changes take effect when the next analysis is triggered.

    Caution: Clicking Restore Defaults restores all factory default settings. If your project is synced with the server, it will restore to the server's checker configuration settings.
