[IronPython] IronPython 2.0 Errors...

[Howland-Rose, Kyle]

Hi Antonio,
 
Have you tried http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/?  
 
PyChecker attempts to report what would be compiler errors in compiled languages.  I don't know whether it works with IronPython.

I get it, I'm not really surprised... I was hoping that maybe there was a way to use scriptSource.Compile(options,errorTracker), or something like that, and get the errors from errorTracker or some kind of sink.

 

Very much apreciated for your time.

Are you familiar with "the halting problem"? :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem> 

 

The only reliable way to find if a particular program returns a runtime error is to execute the program.  For limited, targeted cases, (such as importing modules) you could write an analyzer program which would be *often* right -- but I could create a program  that tricks your analyzer into reporting a problem where none exists.  Consider this:

 

import sys

sys.modules['foo'] = type(sys)('foo')

import foo

 

Your static analyzer would have a tough time recognizing that this program would not raise a runtime error.

Those things are run-time errors (failed imports et al). You would

possibly look at the parse tree for any imports and determine if the

modules to be imported exist, but that sounds like a lot of trouble :)

Hi,

 

I'm trying get all runtime errors without actually executing the code. I can get all syntax errors using the parser, but runtime errors like "import ys" and stuff like that I', not able to.

Is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks,

Vision
