FxCop 1.36 Beta Released!

  • Artikel

I'm pleased to announce that we've released a beta of the next version of FxCop. This release has a number of changes since FxCop 1.35, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • 200+ bug fixes that reduce noise, missing analysis and rule crashes
  • Support for analyzing anonymous methods and lambda expressions
  • New option for skipping analysis over tool generated code
    • Turn this on in the UI via Project -> Options -> Spelling & Analysis -> Suppress analysis results against generated code
    • Turn this on in the command-line via /ignoregeneratedcode switch.
  • Better support for C++/CLI and the Compact Framework
  • Language 'friendly' API names in the UI and resolutions (ie Visual Basic syntax if running over a Visual Basic binary)
  • New globalization, design and usage rules
  • Performance improvements that cut analysis by 2x and use half as much memory
  • Documentation that is now available on MSDN

There are also some other underlying changes that I will talk about in some future posts.

Download it, and tell us what you think. If you have any feedback, bug reports or any questions, feel free to head over to the Code Analysis forum and ask away.

    Does Code Analysis in Visual Studio 2008 have these improvements as well? I remember reading that Code Analysis got spell checking but not sure how directly FxCop and Visual Studio Code Analysis are related.

    How about some documentation on the diffs in the fxcop sdk between 1.35 & 1.36, for us custom rule authors?  It appears that a lot of functionality in RuleUtilities was farmed out to other classes.  In some cases, it's easy to find the new functionality.  In other cases, not so much.

    I might also add that David Kean's custom rules no longer build with FxCop 1.36, due to all the breaking sdk changes.

    If you wonder why SuppressMessage works in FxCop 1.36/VS2008 and not in FxCop 1.35, notice the subtle difference in the syntax. FxCop1.36/VS2008 [assembly: SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1811:AvoidUncalledPrivateCode", Scope = "member", Target = "MyNamespace.MyClass.#MyMethod()")] FxCop1.35 [assembly: SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1811:AvoidUncalledPrivateCode", Scope = "member", Target = "MyNamespace.MyClass.MyMethod():System.Void")] When in doubt, you can use the right click/Copy As->SuppressMessage command in FxCop to place the correct syntax in the clipboard.

    Is there any plans to add support for drop it-in over the fxcopcmd that VS2005 Code Analysis uses... There appears to be an issue with parsing the rules path atm...

    Is there any way to suppress the same FXCop warning that is being reported multiple times with a SuppressMessage attribute?

    Dear team, Thank you for the release; but could you provide list of deprecated rules? I have found that the following at least are different:

  • Performance rules, DisposeMethodsShouldCallSuppressFinalize missing
  • Performance rules, DoNotConcatenateStringsInsideLoops missing
  • Usage rules, DoNotMarkEnumsWithFlags does not seem to work anymore
  • Usage rules, NonConstantFieldsShouldNotBeVisible does not seem to work anymore Am wating for the answer as I kinda hated ploughing through the rules trying to figure out what works and what does not. Thanks, Eugene

    While 2008 may at present be up to date with fxcop rules I'm going to guess that new rules will be made in the future so it will still be useful to be able to update the fxcop rules.

    Eli: Rules that are in Visual Studio 2008 and not in FxCop 1.36 will never make it into later in a future version. Visual Studio will always remain superset of what is available in the free FxCop.
