More teams are adopting Rust for its memory-safety benefits, but Rust alone isn’t bulletproof — especially when integrated into highly governed C/C++ codebases.
If you already rely on Perforce Klocwork or QAC to secure your C/C++ code, you shouldn't have to compromise the same deep, inter-procedural dataflow analysis you’ve come to expect as you shift to Rust. Perforce Static Analysis lets you extend your proven workflow to Rust, closing critical visibility gaps that basic linters miss when managing mixed-code projects.
By optimizing your shift to Rust with a unified approach, you can:
Maintain existing code quality coverage: Build Rust analysis directly into your trusted static analysis environment.
Minimize C/C++ to Rust migration risks: Eliminate blind spots with cross-language visibility within a single workflow.
Unify reporting: Generate consistent, audit-ready evidence across safety, security, and regulatory standards.
Unified Static Analysis Across Rust and C/C++
Seamlessly extend your existing workflow and keep all analysis in one place. Our Rust support includes:
Cross-Language Visibility
Identify memory-related defects and concurrency issues when data moves between Rust and C/C++. Perforce Static Analysis provides cross-file reasoning, unsafe block analysis, and inter-procedural dataflow to catch vulnerabilities across multi-language systems.
Simplify Your Workflow
Integrate Rust directly into your established environment, minimizing tool sprawl and process fragmentation. Klocwork and Perforce QAC also integrate with Clippy, combining the Rust linter’s findings with the static analysis tools’ advanced diagnostics.
Unified Governance Across C/C++ and Rust
Apply consistent safety and security policies across your entire codebase in a single, familiar environment. This centralized approach protects code quality and ensures that both C and C++ components adhere to the same safety-critical standards when Rust is introduced.
Audit-Ready Compliance Evidence
Deliver consistent, compliant, and audit-ready evidence that spans both Rust and C/C++ components. With centralized reporting, Perforce Static Analysis provides the unified documentation required to satisfy safety and security regulations across your entire project.
Work with a Partner You Already Trust
You already trust Perforce Static Analysis with your highly governed C/C++ environments. Now, you can extend that same reliability and confidence to your Rust projects.
Bringing Rust into your current QAC or Klocwork environment ensures you scale your development while maintaining the platform — and standards — your team knows well.
Rust Consortium
Perforce is a proud part of the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium, backed by the Rust Foundation. Our members actively help shape Rust guidelines, static analysis use, formal methods, and language subsets to meet industrial and legal requirements.
