NAME
gnatcheck - The GNAT rule checking tool
SYNOPSIS
gnatcheck [OPTION]... filename [-cargs gcc_switches] [-rules
rule_switches]
gnatcheck [OPTION]... -files=filename [-cargs gcc_switches] [-rules
rule_switches]
DESCRIPTION
gnatcheck checks the conformance of Ada source text with rules and
produces a report file for later analysis as well as on standard
output.
In the first form, gnatcheck examines the specified Ada source files
(wildcards are allowed).
In the second form, gnatcheck examines the Ada source files listed in
the specified file.
gnatcheck is an ASIS application developed on top of the ASIS
implementation for GNAT. As such, it reads tree files (*.adt) produced
by the compiler to accomplish its goals, and invokes gnatgcc for this.
OPTIONS
-a Process RTL units.
-cargs gcc_switches
Pass gcc_switches to GCC when producing the tree files.
-d Debug mode.
-dd Progress indicator mode, for use in the GNAT Programming Studio.
-h Print the list of built-in rules.
-l Full source location chains in report file.
-q Quiet mode: do not report detections on standard output.
-rules rule_switches
rule_switches can be any combination of the following:
-from=file

+ALL Turn all rules on.
-ALL Turn all rules off.
+Rrule_id[:param[,param...]]

parameters.
-Rrule_id

+Rrule_id[:param[,param...]]
