IDE with advanced code analysis?

Name: Anonymous 2016-02-21 11:23

/prog/, what's the IDE with the most advanced code analysis features out there? I'm talking about things like:

- listing all the free variables that occur in selected code term
- warning the user when he shadows a binding from the outer scope
- finding all the places where a variable gets mutated
- showing all possible execution paths through a code term

That's the entire problem with ahead-of-time binary compilation.
You mean that it doesn't have machine-specific optimizations? I'd think compiling once from source when moving to a new machine would be the best of both worlds - you can optimize for the machine, without the JIT overhead.

If you can afford to not be bothered by inefficient algorithms or excessive memory use, you're not using the full capabilities of the computer. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing - most modern personal computers are intended to have at least some ability to run 3d games on, so it's basically impossible for say a text editor to stress the system, no matter how bloated it is. And sure, in those cases it may not be worth the programmer-hours it would take to 'de-bloat' it. But if you're actually the one writing 3d games, or simulations to run on a supercomputer, then efficiency is important.
