normscanner

normscanner is a command-line tool designed for static code analysis, specifically focused on identifying and reporting various code quality issues. It operates by scanning source code files for patterns that deviate from established coding standards or best practices. The primary goal of normscanner is to help developers maintain code consistency, improve readability, and reduce the likelihood of bugs and maintenance problems.

The tool typically supports multiple programming languages and can be configured to adhere to different style guides or custom project-specific rules. Users can integrate normscanner into their development workflows, including continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, to automatically check code before it is merged or deployed. This proactive approach helps to enforce coding standards early in the development lifecycle.

normscanner's output usually includes a list of detected issues, often categorized by severity (e.g., warnings, errors), along with the specific line numbers where the issues occur and a brief explanation of the problem. This detailed feedback allows developers to quickly locate and rectify the identified code quality concerns. The tool is often used in conjunction with other static analysis tools or linters to provide a comprehensive code review.
