Smokey is a command line tool used to analyze assemblies and report problems. Problems include buggy code (e.g. infinite recursion, null deref, malformed format string), performance issues (e.g. string concatenation in loops, excessive boxing, large structs), violations of the .NET design guidelines (e.g. inheriting from ApplicationException or ICloneable, naming, and swallowing exceptions), and miscellaneous rules like misspelled words in string literals. You can download Smokey from the web site: <http://code.google.com/p/smokey/>. The web site also has an html report for one of the System assemblies and a list of all of Smokey's rules. This release of Smokey has 233 rules. Changes from Smokey 1.3.0.0: * Added nineteen new rules: - BaseDisposable, should have Dispose(bool) method. - ConfusingDispose, not IDisposable but has Dispose method. - ConstantResult, Equals, GetHashCode, or relational operator always returns a constant. - DerivedDisposable, Dispose(bool) should call base, don't have a finalizer. - Disposable, checks for eleven problems including improper naming, a Dispose method throwing, and Dispose(bool) using a field without a null check. - EqualsMissesState, Equals does not check a field exposed by a trivial get/set property. - Finalizeable, empty, throws, or not IDisposable.(Continue reading)
