PHP Parser
A PHP parser written in PHP
This is a PHP 5.2 to PHP 8.0 parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and manipulation. A parser is useful for static analysis, manipulation of code and basically any other application dealing with code programmatically. A parser constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of the code and thus allows dealing with it in an abstract and robust way. As the parser is based on the tokens returned by token_get_all (which is only able to lex the PHP version it runs on), additionally a wrapper for emulating tokens from newer versions is provided. This allows to parse PHP 7.4 source code running on PHP 7.0, for example. This emulation is somewhat hacky and not perfect, but it should work well on any sane code. Support for pretty printing, which is the act of converting an AST into PHP code. Please note that "pretty printing" does not imply that the output is especially pretty. -

Iosevka
Versatile typeface for code, from code
Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif + slab-serif, monospace + quasi‑proportional typeface family, designed for writing code, using in terminals, and preparing technical documents. The Iosevka’s monospace family is provided in a slender outfit by default: glyphs are exactly 1/2em wide. Compared to the competitors, you could fit more columns within the same screen width. Iosevka provides two widths, Normal and Extended. If you prefer more breeze between the character, choose Extended and enjoy. Terminal emulators have a stricter compatibility requirements for fonts. Therefore, Iosevka and Iosevka Slab all contain two specialized families, Term and Fixed, targeting terminal users. In these families, the symbols will be narrower to follow terminals’ ideology of column count. In the Fixed families, the ligation will be disabled to ensure better compatibility in certain environments. -

PHP dotenv
Loads environment variables automatically
You should never store sensitive credentials in your code. Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a twelve-factor app. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments, such as database credentials or credentials for 3rd party services, should be extracted from the code into environment variables. Basically, a .env file is an easy way to load custom configuration variables that your application needs without having to modify .htaccess files or Apache/nginx virtual hosts. This means you won't have to edit any files outside the project, and all the environment variables are always set no matter how you run your project, Apache, Nginx, CLI, and even PHP's built-in webserver. It's WAY easier than all the other ways you know of to set environment variables, and you're going to love it! -

Constructs
Define composable configuration models through code
Constructs are classes that define a "piece of system state". Constructs can be composed together to form higher-level building blocks which represent a more complex state. Constructs are often used to represent the desired state of cloud applications. For example, in the AWS CDK, which is used to define the desired state for AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation, the lowest-level construct represents a resource definition in a CloudFormation template. These resources are composed to represent higher-level logical units of a cloud application, etc. -

PHP Coding Standards Fixer
A tool to automatically fix PHP Coding Standards issues
The PHP Coding Standards Fixer (PHP CS Fixer) tool fixes your code to follow standards, whether you want to follow PHP coding standards as defined in the PSR-1, PSR-2, etc., or other community driven ones like the Symfony one. You can also define your (team’s) style through configuration. It can modernize your code (like converting the pow function to the operator on PHP 5.6) and (micro) optimize it. If you are already using a linter to identify coding standards problems in your code, you know that fixing them by hand is tedious, especially on large projects. This tool does not only detect them, but also fixes them for you. If you need to apply code styles that are not supported by the tool, you can create custom rules. Dedicated plugins exist for Atom, NetBeans, PhpStorm, Sublime Text, Vim, and VS Code. -

eslint-plugin-jsdoc
JSDoc specific linting rules for ESLint
JSDoc specific linting rules for ESLint. Install ESLint either locally or globally. Rules may, as per the ESLint user guide, have their own individual options. In eslint-plugin-jsdoc, a few options, such as, exemptedBy and contexts, may be used across different rules. eslint-plugin-jsdoc options, if present, are generally in the form of an object supplied as the second argument in an array after the error level (any exceptions to this format are explained within that rule's docs). One can use minLines and maxLines to indicate how many line breaks (if any) will be checked to find a jsdoc comment block before the given code block. These settings default to 0 and 1 respectively. In conjunction with the require-jsdoc rule, these settings can be enforced so as to report problems if a jsdoc block is not found within the specified boundaries. The settings are also used in the fixer to determine how many line breaks to add when a block is missing. -

BuildKit
Concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit
BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner. BuildKit is a new project under the Moby umbrella for building and packaging software using containers. It’s a new codebase meant to replace the internals of the current build features in the Moby Engine. BuildKit emerged from the discussions about improving the build features in Moby Engine. We received a lot of positive feedback for the multi-stage build feature introduced in April and had proposals and user requests for many similar additions. But before that, we needed to make sure that we have capabilities to continue adding such features in the future and a solid foundation to extend on. Quite soon it was clear that we would need to redefine most of the fundamentals about how we even define a build operation and needed a clean break from the current codebase. A proposal was written, and development started in the open under the new repository.
Guide to Open Source Source Code Analysis Software
Open source source code analysis software is a type of software that is developed and released to the public for free, meaning anyone has access to it. It’s typically used by developers and software engineers as a tool to evaluate how their code performs. The primary purpose of open source source code analysis software is to improve the quality, security, and maintainability of the source code.
Open source source code analysis tools can be divided into two categories: Static Analysis (SAST) tools and Dynamic Analysis (DAST) tools. Both SAST and DAST are automated processes that scan through the entire project or application files to look for vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the code base.
Static Analysis Tools are designed to analyze an individual’s written code at compile time, meaning before any actual execution takes place. They do this by looking for issues such as potential coding errors, dead/unreachable codes, or misuse of APIs or libraries. This type of tool tends to have a much shorter runtime because it only needs to analyze each file once; however, it can still be quite complex depending on how many libraries or APIs your project uses. Some popular SAST open source options include: pylint-jsHint, Cppchecker & ESLint Fortify.
Dynamic Analysis Tools were created with run-time concerns in mind; they focus on analyzing executed programs rather than just compiled ones. These tools act like a black box testing framework; simulating user interactions with your app during runtime so that any unintended behaviors can be detected before deployment occurs for real users in production environments. Common DAST open source options include OWASP ZAP & Arachni among others.
Overall open source code analysis tools are extremely helpful when it comes developing high quality apps without introducing new security flaws due their thoroughness while reviewing applications or projects which often go overlooked during development cycles due time constraints or other factors beyond our control. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that these types of tools should be used in conjunction with manual code reviews and other security measures like penetration testing or bug bounties for maximum effect.
Features of Open Source Source Code Analysis Software
- Static Analysis: Open source source code analysis software offers static analysis, which is a process of scanning and detecting errors in the source code without actually executing it. This type of analysis can detect problems such as incorrect syntax, coding conventions, security vulnerabilities, memory leaks and other issues that could lead to runtime errors or performance issues.
- Dynamic Analysis: This type of open source code analysis helps developers identify any potential runtime errors in the application before it goes live. By executing different scenarios within the application and evaluating its output, dynamic analysis can be used to detect bugs and performance bottlenecks that may not appear during static analysis.
- Code Metrics-Analysis: This feature measures various criteria from the codebase such as lines of code, cyclomatic complexity (the number of possible paths through a program), maintainability index (the ease with which a program can be maintained) and other values that help determine readability and complexity levels for the project.
- Security Analysis: Specialized static security analyzers are designed to scan software applications looking for potential security vulnerabilities present in an application. Such tools are especially important when dealing with programs containing user data or sensitive information including web services since these types of applications are most likely target hacks or attacks.
- Refactoring Reports: Refactoring is an important part of developing clean and efficient code by restructuring existing pieces so they work better together while preserving functionality. With open source refactoring reports, developers can compare existing versions against newer ones to spot any changes made while ensuring all functionality remains intact.
- Code Coverage Analysis: This type of analysis helps developers identify which sections of their code are being used and which areas may have been overlooked. It can also offer an insight into the testability of the application by showing how much coverage is required to meet user requirements.
- Integration with Source Control Systems: Most open source code analysis software offers integration with existing version control systems such as Git, SVN or Mercurial. This allows developers to track changes made to their projects over a certain period of time and also quickly identify when an issue arises so they can rectify it.
What Types of Open Source Source Code Analysis Software Are There?
- Static Source Code Analyzers: These types of open source software analyze a source code without executing it. They operate by scanning the code for potential issues such as bugs, security vulnerabilities, coding standards violations and other flaws.
- Dynamic Analysis Tools: These types of open source software monitor the system while applications are running in order to detect problems that may not be easily visible from static analysis.
- Compiler-based Source Code Analyses: This type of source code analysis uses compiler technology to assess source code for potential programming errors and style issues. It can also search for specific keywords or functions that may be associated with malicious behavior.
- Debuggers: These types of tools help developers debug their own applications or existing libraries quickly and effectively, helping them find and fix problems before they become an issue.
- Software Metrics Analysis Tools: These types of open source software measure the quality and complexity of a program by looking at metrics such as lines of code, number of variables used, cyclomatic complexity, coupling between modules and others.
- Version Control Systems (VCS): VCSs allow developers to manage changes made to their project’s files over time so they can keep track of modifications they've made or review old versions if necessary. They also facilitate collaboration between multiple users by allowing them to automatically synchronize and share their work.
- Line-by-line Code Comparison Tool: This type of open source software allows developers to easily compare two versions of code, highlighting any changes made and pinpointing problems that may have gone unnoticed during development.

How To Get Started With Open Source Source Code Analysis Software
Getting started with open source source code analysis software is relatively straightforward. First, users should identify the type of project they want to analyze and what their goals are for the analysis. Once these considerations have been addressed, users should select an appropriate open source tool that meets their requirements.
The next step is to download and install the application onto a computer or server. This usually involves downloading the binary file in a supported package format (e.g., Debian), running it through an application installer, and following any other installation instructions that may be provided. After installing the tool and ensuring it has been configured correctly, users can begin analyzing code. Depending on the complexity of their project and which language they’re working with (e.g., Java or C++), they may need to learn more about how to use specific features of their chosen tool in order to conduct effective analyses of their codebase(s).
Source code analysis tools generally provide some type of graphical user interface (GUI) so that users don’t have to interact with command-line utilities when running queries against their codebase(s). A GUI typically makes it easier for users to navigate through different parts of an application and quickly find areas where potential issues exist, such as security flaws or logic errors in algorithm implementations; without having to manually comb through hundreds or even thousands of lines of code themselves.
Finally, users may want to review the results generated by their chosen open source source code analysis tool before making any changes based on those results. The GUI will often provide detailed information regarding each discovered issue that can be used by developers as a starting point for correcting any problems uncovered during the analysis process. With this knowledge in place, developers can now apply fixes as necessary in order to improve the overall quality and security posture of theirs applications going forward.
