The static error analyser Wasp 3.0 is released for Windows
95/98/NT/2000.
The analyser Wasp 3.0 is also available for Linux.
Wasp employs powerful data flow analysis to detect subtle run-time
errors
and weak points in Java, Modula-2, and Oberon-2 programs.
The following kinds of errors may be detected in a Java program:
- null pointer exception
- impermissible cast of variable value of reference type
- array index out of bounds
- division by zero
- overflow (underflow) in arithmetic operator
- etc.
Wasp also produces the following information for program
understanding:
- detailed and precise method call graph
- usage of an uninitialised variables
- unreachable branches for conditional and switch statements,
unreachable loop bodies, and catch clauses
- assignments of a variables whose values are never used
- abnormal completion of methods
- etc.
