André Maroneze (reviewed by Virgile Prevosto) on 19 September 2025

MOPSA is a research-oriented static analyzer which includes a tool called mopsa-build, a wrapper for build commands (esp. make) that helps the analysis. Frama-C can now use the same tool to help automate some parsing steps! JSON Compilation Databases (JCDBs, a.k.a. compile-commands.json) A JSON Compilation Database (referred from now on as...

General tips for debugging preprocessing and parsing issues
André Maroneze on 18 September 2024

Motivated by some recent discussions concerning a hard-to-parse code base, this post presents a few techniques used by Frama-C developers to quickly understand and debug parsing-related errors. We are constantly improving parsing and error messages, so hopefully some of these tips will become unnecessary in the future. Origin of parsing...
