Abstract

Type qualifiers are a lightweight, practical mechanism for specifying and checking program properties. In previous work, we have developed CQUAL, a tool for adding type qualifiers to C. In this short article, we describe an Eclipse plug-in for CQUAL that allows programmers to visualize the results of CQUAL's type qualifier inference and thereby quickly understand and resolve potential programming errors.
