Features overview

Code Inspection

Inspect your code for specific quality issues as you edit. The Code Inspection feature of Visual Assist, based on LLVM/Clang, diagnoses and fixes typical programming errors, like style violations, interface misuse, and bugs that can be deduced via static analysis.

Code Inspection Settings

Enable Code Inspection and specific quality checks in the options dialog for Visual Assist. The LLVM/Clang parser runs in a process separate from that of Visual Studio to avoid degrading performance of the IDE.
