V2.14.2

⚠️ STILL IN PRE-RELEASE STATUS ⚠️

This version introduces the new expression engine in Proparse. The aim is to have a much better understanding of the content of any expression, in order to extract the exact data type of each expression (and subexpressions), and infer chained method calls and attributes. This engine required small changes on the parser, but in heavily used sections. Regression testing was executed on various code repositories, from v6-like to modern OO code, but bugs could still be present. In order to verify the correctness of the changes, we'd like users to execute an analysis on a test SonarQube instance and compare:

  • The parse report (no more parse errors than in the previous version)
  • The numbers of issues raised by this version. The rule Expression has no effect will probably have a lot more issues (and false positives, we already know that, but we'd like to see how many are reported). Other rules shouldn't be changed (except for bugfixes listed below).

Customers can request a test license (please send an email to [email protected] with your test server ID).
