Open Dataflow Settings

This option only applies to C and C++ projects. Selecting the option provides a shortcut to the dataflow settings for the Active project.

These settings are specified in the Perforce QAC Project Properties dialog, under the Analysis tab. Dataflow analysis is activated in either of two ways:

  • Select the -enabledataflow option in the Component Options pane, and set it to +.
  • Select a Depth preset in the Dataflow Settings drop-down.

The Depth preset determines the maximum number of simplified statements that a called function can contain before it is expanded into the caller. As a general rule, the larger the Depth, the more progressive the inter-function analysis, and, as a result, the more time that will be needed to complete the analysis.
