 # [CodeChecker](http://github.com/Ericsson/CodeChecker/) C++ Static Analysis action

+GitHub Action to execute static analysis over using [CodeChecker](http://github.com/Ericsson/CodeChecker/) as its driver.
+For C-family projects (C, C++, Objective-C, CUDA, etc.), CodeChecker supports driving the static analysis programs of [Clang](http://clang.llvm.org).
+Several other static analysers' output can be integrated into CodeChecker through the [report converter](http://codechecker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/report-converter/).

+## Overview (for other analyses through the _report-converter_)
+
+⚠️ **CAUTION! This action has been written with commands that target Ubuntu-based distributions!**
+
+This single action composite script encompasses the following steps:
+
+  1. Obtain a package of CodeChecker.
+  3. Use the `report-converter` to convert other analysers' reports to CodeChecker's format.
+  4. Show the analysis results in the CI log, and create HTML reports that can be uploaded as an artefact. (Uploading is to be done by the user!)
+  5. _(Optional)_ Check for the current commit introducing new bug reports against a known state. (Good for pull requests!)
+  6. _(Optional)_ Upload the results to a running _CodeChecker server_. (Good for the main project!)
+
+
+ℹ️ **Note:** Static analysis can be a time-consuming process.
+It's recommended that the static analysis step is not sequential with the rest of a CI execution, but either runs as its own job in a workflow, or a completely distinct workflow altogether.
+
+Please refer to the documentation of the analyser of your choice for this.
+CodeChecker does **NOT** support driving the analysis through external tools, but if a successful analysis had been done, it can convert and store the results.
+
+```yaml

+    # Check YOUR project out!
+    - name: "Check out repository"

+      with:
+        name: "CodeChecker Bug Reports"
+        path: ${{ steps.codechecker.outputs.result-html-dir }}
+```
+
+### Uploading results and acting as a CI gate
+
+The _report-converter_ tool converts the output of various analysers to the common format used by CodeChecker.
+Once the conversion is done, the rest of the action's features can execute in the same fashion as for C/C++ projects.
+Please refer to earlier parts of the documentation for the configuration of these features.
