StacKnowledge brings the power of C lint error-checking to LiveCode.
StacKnowledge allows you to find potential problem areas in your
application before you ship.
StacKnowledge is a powerful Quality Assurance tool for LiveCode developers
who are serious about their compile-and-debug cycle.
It allows the developer to put more resources into creating code and fewer into runtime debugging.
(hint: it's also useful for other xtalk environments)
With StacKnowledge you can:
- See at a glance the constants, global
variables, local variables with both script and handler scope, and
handler parameters
- Find unused constants, global and local
variables
- Find variables used only once
- Find and fix undeclared variables (explicitVars)
- Find mistyped variable names the compiler
misses
- Locate functions in your scripts that are only
included for HyperCard and SuperCard compatibility (useful when
importing stacks)
- Warn about functions that may not work on
specific platforms (Macintosh, Windows, linux)
- See where variables are used
- Move script variables to the top of a script for maintainability
- Find empty handlers (probably unused code, but
may block message passing)
- ...and more...
StacKnowledge can be used as a plugin or as a
standalone tool.
Comprehensive configuration options are available to allow you to control
the depth of the evaluation process and the granularity of examination.
