Rule Configuration File

You can also select the RCF (Rule Configuration File) to be associated with the project. The following RCF files are provided:

  • The default file contains the entire message set for the particular language.
  • The "critbug" file contains a reduced set designed for legacy code.
  • The "security" file contains a reduced set intended for users whose immediate concern is security-related defects and violations.

Other RCFs, for example the one for the "m3cm" compliance module, may only show one message group because the file only applies to one target language (in the case of this example, the C language).

Other RCFs to address specific requirements can be written by yourself, with guidance from Programming Research Ltd. as required.
