A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C that detects bugs and performance issues.
Infer is a static analysis tool developed by Facebook for detecting bugs, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues in code written in Java, C, C++, and Objective-C. It analyzes code without executing it to identify potential problems early in the development process.
Developers and engineering teams working on large-scale projects in Java, C, C++, or Objective-C who need to improve code quality and prevent regressions.
It offers precise, incremental analysis that scales to large codebases and integrates easily into continuous integration pipelines, helping teams catch issues before they reach production.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Identifies critical issues such as null pointer dereferences and resource leaks across Java, C, C++, and Objective-C, making it versatile for mixed codebases.
Analyzes only changed code for faster feedback, which is essential for scalability in large projects and CI/CD integration.
Designed to be seamlessly integrated into continuous integration workflows to catch regressions early, as highlighted in the key features.
Built with OCaml for precise static analysis that handles massive codebases, ideal for enterprise-level applications.
Building from source requires OCaml and specific dependencies, which can be challenging and time-consuming for new users, as noted in the INSTALL.md.
Does not cover modern languages like Python or JavaScript, reducing its usefulness in full-stack or web development environments.
Enabling Java support may involve GPL-licensed components, potentially creating legal complexities for proprietary software projects.
