Configuring Coverity Prevent Tool with SBS

==========================================

This document describes requirements and how to run coverity prevent tool with sbs builds using helium. 

Requirements

-----------------

Please go through "Configuring Raptor (SBS)" before proceeding into this document.

Implementation

-----------------

- Coverity prevent tool commands are integrated with SBS task. 

- Before starting the build we need to setup the property coverity.enabled=true to enable the coverity prevent tool with build.

- Coverity task extends the "sbstask", so what ever the arguments we pass for sbstask will remain same for coverity tool also.

- For example 

.. code-block:: xml

        <hlm:coveritybuild  sbsinput="@{sbs.input}" 

                            sysdeffile="${build.drive}/output/build/canonical_system_definition_${sysdef.configuration}.xml"

                            layerpatternsetref="${sbs.patternset}" 

                            workingdir="${build.drive}/" 

                            execute="true"

                            failonerror="false"

                            outputlog="${sbs.log.file}" 

                            cleanlog = "${sbs.clean.log}"

                            erroroutput="${sbs.log.file}.sbs_error.log"

                            statslog="${sbs.log.file}.info.xml">

                <hlm:coverityoptions refid="coverity.build.options"/>

        </hlm:coveritybuild>

- In above example coverity prevent tool is integrated with sbs using task "coveritybuild".

- This task is slightly difference from sbstask as it accepts the coverity tool parameters required while running coverity tool.

- In the above example we have mentioned "coverity.build.options" which are required for cov-build command.

- coverityoptions datatype will follow below syntax.

.. code-block:: xml

        <hlm:coverityoptions id="coverity.build.options">

            <arg name="--config" value="${coverity.config.dir}/coverity_config.xml"/>

            <arg name="--dir" value="${coverity.inter.dir}"/>

            <arg name="--auto-diff" value=""/>

            <arg name="--preprocess-first" value=""/>

            <arg name="--record-only" value=""/>

        </hlm:coverityoptions>

- Internally "coveritybuild" task will run the "cov-build" with parameters passed with "<hlm:coverityoptions>" datatype and sbs commands.

- Above arguments are passed by default in helium. If it is required to remove/change the default parameters (by helium)into cov-build, we need to override the datatype "coverityoptions".

- Command resulted for above example is shown below with "@{sbs.input} = dfs_build_input_armv5".

    | cov-build.exe --auto-diff  --record-only  --config Y:/output/coverity/config/coverity_config.xml 

    | --preprocess-first  --dir Y:/output/coverity/intermidiate sbs -s Y:/output/build/canonical_system_definition_dfs_build.xml 

    | -c armv5 -k --logfile Y:/output/logs/compile/ido_helloworld_tb92_blr_ci_9.2.30_armv5_dfs_build.log 

    | --makefile=Y:/output/logs/compile/ido_helloworld_tb92_blr_ci_9.2.30_armv5_dfs_build

Note: 

--------------------

- Helium also supports other coverity tool commands. Please refer to section to "Coverity Prevent Tool" section.

- Coverity tool prevent tool can't run with emake. emake options are disabled with <hlm:coveritybuild> task if "build.system=sbs-ec".
