Prefast with Visual studio 2008

Question

Is there any way to enable Prefast in Visual Studio 2008 Professional addition?

I am trying to compile native c++ code.

Answer 1

Code Analysis works for VS C ++ Express, but for visual studio ... I can not find it ... VS C++ Express and VS have some differences.

Answer 2

You don't need to use Prefast separately. Visual C++ Prefast is accessed using the /analyze compiler switch.

Answer 3

VS 2008 has a built-in code analysis (FxCop and PREfast). You can turn it on at Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Advanced->Enable Code Analysis For C/C++ on Build.

Then you can try to compile some examples from PREfast and see warnings.

Good luck!

EDIT: Professional edition has no such option :(
