Know What You Use and Qualify Only That

In safety-critical software development, you are required to qualify all the code you use, but only the code you use. Modern applications pull in vast C and C++ libraries, most of which remain entirely unused. Qualifying them all is wasteful, costly, and unjustified.

ECLAIR Code Scout, an add-on to the ECLAIR Software Verification Platform, tells you exactly which parts of your codebase—including the C and C++ Standard Libraries, third-party components, and internal modules—are actually used. This allows you to focus your qualification and verification efforts precisely, where it matters most.

The Problem: Unused Code Bloats Qualification Effort

Qualifying a full C/C++ library, like the STL, POSIX headers, or Boost, can mean thousands of lines of additional static analysis, documentation, and review effort.
But typically, less than 5% of such libraries are actually used in your application.

Without precise visibility, teams over-qualify by default wasting precious time, money, and audit energy.

The Solution: ECLAIR Code Scout

Code Scout automatically maps your application’s actual dependencies by:

  • Detecting every used entity across all included libraries and modules

  • Automatically excluding unused code from ECLAIR analyses and reports

  • Documenting exactly what must be qualified for audit and certification

  • Producing ready-to-use ECLAIR configuration for scoped analysis

No guesswork. No risk. No unnecessary work.

Ideal for Functional Safety Contexts

All major safety standards (ISO 26262, EN 50128, IEC 62304, etc.) require justification and qualification for reused software. But they do not require you to qualify what you do not use. With Code Scout, you can:

  • Clearly document your actual usage of third-party or legacy libraries

  • Justify scoped qualification with traceable evidence

  • Avoid redundant MISRA/Coding Guideline violations from unused code

  • Reduce review and analysis load by an order of magnitude

Built for Modern C/C++ Projects

  • Works on large codebases with deep library trees

  • Supports additional entry points beyond main() (e.g., interrupt handlers, kernels)

  • Fully automatable as part of CI/CD pipelines

  • Compatible with all ECLAIR checkers (MISRA, architectural, runtime errors…)

  • Lets you exclude already-qualified components from further analysis

Certified Platform, Trusted Results

ECLAIR Code Scout is built on the TÜV SÜD-certified ECLAIR platform, trusted across the automotive, rail, medical, industrial, and aerospace sectors.

Focus Your Qualification Where It Matters

Stop qualifying code you don’t use. With Code Scout, you know exactly what to qualify and exactly what to leave out.
