Title: Polyspace R2021a: A Technical Reference for Static Code Verification
Published: Approx. March 2021 (MathWorks)
Purpose: To provide a structured overview of capabilities, workflow optimizations, and key updates in Polyspace R2021a for high-integrity software development (ISO 26262, DO-178C, IEC 61508, ISO 62304).
- Support for GCC, Clang, Microsoft Visual C++ toolchains and custom build wrappers.
- Ability to analyze individual files, whole projects, or build-embedded systems code.
- Makefile and build-system integration through Polyspace build capture, or using pspp (Polyspace Project files).
, which can hinder adoption in high-frequency CI environments. IDE Integration : Capabilities are brought directly into the polyspace r2021a
