Analysis Tools

Status: ✅ COMPLETED Version: 1.0.0 Phase: 08_05 - Optimization Pipeline / Phase 1

Overview

Static analysis and profiling tools for DSP code optimization. Detects RT-safety violations, calculates code complexity metrics, and integrates with profiling backends.

Components

1. StaticAnalyzer

Static code analysis for DSP processors.

Features: - RT-safety violation detection (malloc, new, locks) - Memory leak detection - Performance warning identification - SIMD alignment checking - Cache-efficiency analysis - Cyclomatic complexity checking

Usage:

#include "StaticAnalyzer.hpp"

using namespace audiolab::plugins::optimization;

// Analyze a file
StaticAnalyzer analyzer;
if (analyzer.analyzeFile("MyProcessor.cpp")) {
    std::cout << analyzer.generateReport();
}

// Check specific issues
auto rtIssues = analyzer.getIssuesByType(IssueType::RTSafetyViolation);
for (const auto& issue : rtIssues) {
    std::cout << issue.file << ":" << issue.line
              << " - " << issue.message << "\n";
}

Configuration:

AnalysisConfig config;
config.checkRTSafety = true;
config.checkPerformance = true;
config.maxCyclomaticComplexity = 15;
config.treatWarningsAsErrors = false;

StaticAnalyzer analyzer(config);

2. ComplexityMetrics

Code complexity calculator (cyclomatic, cognitive, maintainability).

Features: - Cyclomatic complexity (McCabe) - Cognitive complexity (readability) - Nesting depth analysis - Lines of code metrics - Maintainability index (0-100) - Function-level and module-level analysis

Usage:

#include "ComplexityMetrics.hpp"

using namespace audiolab::plugins::optimization;

// Analyze a module
ComplexityMetrics metrics;
auto moduleMetrics = metrics.analyzeFile("MyModule.cpp");

std::cout << "Functions: " << moduleMetrics.functionCount << "\n";
std::cout << "Avg Complexity: " << moduleMetrics.avgCyclomaticComplexity << "\n";
std::cout << "Maintainability: "
          << ComplexityMetrics::calculateMaintainabilityIndex(moduleMetrics)
          << "/100\n";

// Check individual functions
for (const auto& func : moduleMetrics.functions) {
    if (metrics.exceedsThresholds(func)) {
        std::cout << "Warning: " << func.name
                  << " complexity=" << func.cyclomaticComplexity << "\n";
    }
}

Complexity Levels: - Low: <= 5 - Medium: 6-10 - High: 11-20 - Very High: 21-50 - Extreme: > 50

3. ProfilingIntegration

Integration with profiling tools (Tracy, perf, VTune, Instruments).

Features: - RAII-based profiling scopes - Manual zone instrumentation - Performance statistics (min/max/avg/stddev) - Hotspot analysis - Export formats: Chrome Trace (JSON), Flamegraph, Tracy - Multi-threaded profiling support

Usage:

#include "ProfilingIntegration.hpp"

using namespace audiolab::plugins::optimization;

// Initialize profiler
ProfilingIntegration profiler;
profiler.initialize();
profiler.startSession("my_optimization_run");

// RAII-based profiling (automatic)
{
    ProfileScope scope("processBlock");
    // ... your code ...
}  // timing automatically recorded

// Manual profiling
profiler.beginZone("custom_zone");
// ... your code ...
profiler.endZone();

// Get statistics
profiler.stopSession();
auto stats = profiler.getStats("processBlock");
std::cout << "Avg duration: " << stats.avgDuration.count() / 1e6 << " ms\n";

// Analyze hotspots
auto hotspots = profiler.analyzeHotspots(10);
for (const auto& [name, percentage] : hotspots) {
    std::cout << name << ": " << percentage << "%\n";
}

// Export results
profiler.exportToChromeTrace("trace.json");

Profiling Macros:

#define PROFILING_ENABLED
#include "ProfilingIntegration.hpp"

void myFunction() {
    AL_PROFILE_FUNCTION();  // Profiles entire function

    {
        AL_PROFILE_SCOPE("inner_loop");
        // ... code ...
    }
}

Supported Backends: - ProfilerType::None - Manual profiling only - ProfilerType::Tracy - Tracy profiler integration - ProfilerType::Perf - Linux perf integration - ProfilerType::VTune - Intel VTune integration - ProfilerType::Instruments - macOS Instruments integration

Performance

• StaticAnalyzer: ~10ms per 1000 LOC
• ComplexityMetrics: ~5ms per 1000 LOC
• ProfilingIntegration: <10ns overhead per zone (RAII)

Limitations

• StaticAnalyzer: Pattern-based detection (not full AST parsing)
• ComplexityMetrics: Simplified function extraction (regex-based)
• ProfilingIntegration: Backend integration requires external libraries

Future Enhancements

• Full AST parsing for StaticAnalyzer (Clang LibTooling)
• Halstead complexity metrics
• Data flow analysis
• Tracy backend implementation
• Perf integration for hardware counters

Dependencies

• Internal: None (standalone module)
• External: Catch2 (testing only)
• Optional: Tracy, perf, VTune, Instruments (runtime backends)
