You are asking in the right place.<br><br>Unfortunately, you appear to be a member of a very elite (i.e., small) group of people. The group building custom tools. Most people just want to know how to *use* valgrind on their project, not how to write their own analysis tools and integrate them.<br>
<br>Usually, only the people who know how to answer a question are willing to chime in. In your case, I think there just isn't anybody here who has a ready answer for you.<br><br>The problem, as usual, is busy-ness / lack of time. I would love to dig in and figure out what sorts of problems you'd have building a new tool and figuring out how to integrate it in to be used by cmake or ctest, or simply to provide the right output format for cdash consumption. But I simply don't have the time for it.<br>
<br>If nobody answers your questions on the list, simply assume that nobody knows the answer, and you're going to have to read the available documentation and, if there's nothing there... then dig into the source code of the projects and analyze how they work.<br>
<br>If your tool is available for public consumption (open source, free) then consider posting a link to it here, and see if you can garner any volunteers for helping you test it out. If it is available, I'd like to take a look at it. If you have any specific questions about how something works in the source code for CMake, CTest or CDash, please keep asking. You never know when the person with the answer will be reading the mailing list in the future.<br>
<br><br>Hope this is helpful,<br>David Cole<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 2, 2011 at 2:49 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Mika.Rajala@patria.fi">Mika.Rajala@patria.fi</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Hi</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
Another update and a question</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
I'v reverse engineered and hacked the CDash/CMake/CTest code a bit to see
how it works.</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
I'v now come to the conclusion that the best way to handle custom tools
(style checks, static code analysis) is to use custom builds and custom
build groups</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
The issue I currently have is this:</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
How to generate a custom "Build.xml" file for CDash, based on
output of a program?</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
The extreme solution I see is to make my own executable that generates
a "Build.xml" file as output.</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
What I'd like to do is to tell CTest to pick up errors / warnings
from line that match with a regular expression i give.</font><font size="3">
<br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
What would be the best way to do this?</font><font size="3"> <br>

Hi</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
I went for the custom DynamicAnalysis.xml thing</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
I think I figured out what the file should contain.</font><font size="3">
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
There is a slight problem however.</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
The Labels in the defect list of CDash are that of some other tool</font><font size="3">
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
How do I change them?</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>

Hi</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
This doesn't seem to be very easy, fun or well documented.</font><font size="3">
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
<br>
I'v resolved to looking aroung the CTest source code to see what is going
on.</font><font size="3"> </font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
