SDV-FailDriver-STORPORT
The SDV-FailDriver-Storport sample driver contains intentional code errors that are designed to show the capabilities and features of Static Driver Verifier (SDV). SDV is a static verification tool that systematically analyzes the source code of Windows kernel-mode drivers. SDV is included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) and can be run from Microsoft Visual Studio. The sample demonstrates how SDV can find errors in a Storport driver.
Caution
These sample drivers contain intentional code errors that are designed to show the capabilities and features of SDV. These sample drivers are not functional and are not intended as examples for real driver development projects.
Run the sample
In the Solutions Explorer window, select the driver project (lsi_u3.vcxProj).
From the Driver menu, click Launch Static Driver Verifier....
This opens the Static Driver Verifier application, where you can control, configure, and schedule when Static Driver Verifier performs an analysis.
Click the Rules tab to select which driver DDI usage rules to verify when you start the analysis.
Static Driver Verifier detects the type of driver you are analyzing (WDF, WDM, NDIS, or Storport) and selects the default set of rules for your driver type. If this is the first time you are running SDV on your driver, you should run the default rule set. To shorten the amount of time it takes to analyze the sample driver, you can select the Custom rule selection.
Use the default rule set, or select Custom rule selection, click Clear All, and then select the following rules for the Storport sample:
For information about the rules, see DDI Compliance Rules.
Start the static analysis. Click the Main tab, and click Start. When you click Start, a message is displayed to let you know that static analysis is scheduled and that the analysis can take a long time to run. Click OK to continue.
View and analyze the results
As the static analysis proceeds, SDV reports the status of the analysis. When the analysis is complete, SDV reports the results and statistics. If the driver fails to satisfy a DDI usage rule, the result is reported as a defect. SDV finds 7 defects in this sample.
On the Main tab, under Results, click the Rules tab. This tab displays the name of each rule that was verified in the last run and the results of the analysis. To view the reported defects, click the Defect link in the Results column. This opens the Static Driver Verifier Report Page and the Trace Viewer, which displays a trace of the code path to the rule violation.
