Finding superfluous C/C++ #includes
Unnecessary #include statements can increase build times, make code harder to understand, and make restructuring more difficult. It is trivial to find these with Structure101 Studio, so you can remove them from the code, or from the model prior to … Read More
Structure101 Workspace IntelliJ IDEA and Gradle
The IDEA gradle import creates module compile output paths that are different to the gradle build output paths. Structure101 Workspace uses the IDEA module compile output paths to find the bytecode. So, running a gradle build will not propagate changes to … Read More
Why does the violation count change when I collapse a cell on a Structure101 Architecture Diagram?
This will happen when there is one or more violations contained within the scope of the cell you are collapsing. For example you might have this situation: And the violations count is show as 3(4) in the Diagrams list: (i.e. … Read More
How to create a killer call graph for impact analysis
Sometimes you really want to cut through a code-base to discover all the functions that can get called in response to a specific function being invoked, with all the other code removed from the picture. Or you might be coming … Read More
