16<h1>C++ Support</h1>
17
18<p>The Clang frontend
19now <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html">supports the
20majority of C++</a>. Support in the frontend for C++ language
21features, however, does not automatically translate into support for
22those features in the static analyzer. Language features need to be
23specifically modeled in the static analyzer so their semantics can be
24properly analyzed. Support for analyzing C++ and Objective-C++ files
25is currently extremely limited, and we are only encouraging those who
26are interested in contributing to the development of the analyzer to
27try this functionality out at this time.</p>
28
29<p>Listed here are a set of open tasks that are prerequisites for
30decent analysis of C++. This list is also not complete; new tasks
31will be added as deemed necessary.</p>

33<ul>
34 <li>Control-Flow Graph Enhancements:</li>
35 <ul>
36 <li>Model C++ destructors</li>
37 <li>Model C++ initializers (in constructors)</li>
38 </ul>
39 <li>Path-Sensitive Analysis Engine (GRExprEngine):</li>
40 <ul>
41 <li>Model C++ casts</li>
42 <li>Model C++ constructors</li>
43 <li>Model C++ destructors</li>
44 <li>Model <tt>new</tt> and <tt>delete</tt></li>
