Stack overflow is a thing of the past

StackAnalyzer automatically determines the worst-case stack usage of the tasks in your appli­cation. It lets you find any stack overflows, or formally prove the absence thereof.

Features

• Exceptionally fast and precise static analysis of real-world software.
• Clear and detailed information on user-stack and system-stack usage by tasks, procedures, basic blocks, and individual instructions.
• Freely selectable entry points for the analysis to let you focus on any code parts of particular interest to you.
• Control-flow reconstruction directly from binary code. Potential flaws in the debug information will not confuse StackAnalyzer.
• Automatic recognition of dead code.
• Feature-rich GUI with graphical and textual views for analysis results, statistics, control flow, source code, assembly code, DWARF debug info, symbol tables, configuration files, and more.
• Command-line mode for easy integration into automated build processes.
• Customizable XML reports for documentation and certification.
• ValueAnalyzer add-on for static analysis of register and memory cells, memory accesses and function calls.
• Plugins for TargetLink and Jenkins. Fully-integrated custom builds for SCADE and Raptor.
• Seamless integration with other analysis tools from AbsInt, e.g. aiT for worst-case execution time analysis.
• Qualification Support Kits for ISO 26262, DO-178B/C, and other safety standards.
• Regular updates and excellent tech support.

Your benefits

• StackAnalyzer reduces the development effort and helps prevent runtime errors due to stack overflow.
• StackAnalyzer calculates the stack usage automatically. No testing or measuring required. The analysis results are valid for all inputs and any task execution.
• StackAnalyzer directly analyzes binary executables, exactly as they are executed in the final system.
• Using StackAnalyzer is essential in meeting current safety standards such as ISO 26262, DO-178B/C, IEC-61508, and EN-50128, where statically analyzing the stack usage is part of the architec­tural safety requirements.

A multitude of supported ISAs

StackAnalyzer is available for a large and ever-growing number of target processors and compilers.

Seamless integration into your toolchain

StackAnalyzer supports tight integration with state-of-the-art development tools, including:

• SCADE Suite, the market-leading embedded-software development environment from ANSYS
• TargetLink, the production-code generation tool from dSPACE
• Raptor-Dev, the system-development toolkit from New Eagle
• SymTA/S scheduling analysis tools from Symtavision/Luxoft
• Jenkins, the leading open-source automation server
• RT-Druid, the Eclipse-based development environment from Evidence

StackAnalyzer can also be combined within a single user interface with other analysis tools from AbsInt (e.g. aiT for worst-case execution time analysis).

Qualification support

Your usage of StackAnalyzer can be qualified according to ISO 26262, DO-178B/C, and other safety standards. We offer special Qualification Support Kits that simplify and automate the qualification process. These Kits have been successfully used by many customers in their qualification processes, notably in the avionics and automotive industries.
