I am requesting Delphi (Object Pascal) support as it’s still a widely used language. At minimum, a generic Pascal language support is requested so it could be used for Delphi and FreePascal (FPC)
A somewhat workable plugin is available for use as a base: https://github.com/fabriciocolombo/sonar-delphi
Great proposal! I would love to have Delphi available in Sonar
We have a lot of customers that wants to use this!
Hi @dariandms, @Juan_Antonio_Ruzafa, @Fernando_Rizzato,
Thank you for your feedback. There is currently no plan to add a Delphi or Pascal analyzer. We will take your input into account when we will choose the next language to add.
Could you tell us the amount of code you need to analyze?
Cheers,
Nicolas
We have about 2-2.5mln lines.
Delphi please analytics.
+1 from me, we have several large Delphi projects we would like to analyze.
Add our company to your list of desired Delphi scan capability. Approximately 200,000 lines of code.
With such a huge international presence I would have expected Delphi to be on your list and it is an easy to read language.
+1 We have more then 15 projects with millions of lines of code.
With plugin https://github.com/fabriciocolombo/sonar-delphi my trailversion sonar not started. Anybody have this problem and how you solved it?
Hi @awod,
Please create a separate topic when you ask a question. This topic is for people requesting an official support of Delphi in SonarQube/SonarCloud.
The plugin you mention is not developed by SonarSource so it is better to ask directly its author. As it has not been maintained for 4 years there is little chance that the problem will be fixed.
Delphi’s own QA tool so annoying bad, you would not believe…
You know about EMCD’s Demos? Surely, on an simple school or demo project may (may not) work,
but is not working on real life code. It’s to stupid, showing everything except real errors.
SonarQube Support for delphi would be really really helpful.
(only “working” tool I know is TMS FixInsight, but I’m sure SonarQube would be better)
5 millions lines of code.
@all who have same problem that QA Tool by EMBCD is not working (means anyone who tries):
I’ve tried a few tools, only working QA Tool I’ve found for Delphi is FixInsight by TMS
It’s not searching for a low of problems but help’s finding most common problems, code styling and performance bugs.
Peter - note that Pascal Analyzer is the most commonly used source code analysis tool for Delphi and it’s been enhanced for years. It has a large amount of tests but lacks in the feature set that SonarSource offers for tracking quality over time.
Hey Darian,
I may give it another try 
I’ve opened a few more Bugreports on EMBCD’s bad QA Tool,
maybe one day in future it will start working to.
So we can choos beween EMBCD, PascalAnalyser and TMS.
Just “a few” bugs i’ve found:
| RSP-26183 | QA Tool reports wrong LBNE error |
|---|---|
| RSP-26126 | QA Tool does not recognize Assignfile() in constructor as an valid initialization |
| RSP-26125 | QA Tools reports MSOL on multiple declaration |
| RSP-26124 | QA Audits reports wrong AIOR error on string operation |
| RSP-26123 | QA reports wron EVAZ on byte operation |
| RSP-26111 | QA gives wrong warnings on case of bytetype |
| RSP-26106 | QA Tool ramdomly shows SU (unreachable code) |
| RSP-26105 | QA Audits reports exception handling code as SU (unreachable) |
| RSP-26104 | QA Tool internal crash (didn’t give any result) afer adding example code |
=> unusable
