Infer installation and environment configuration on MAC

Infer Introduction

Infer is a static analysis tool. Infer can analyze objective-c, Java, or C code to report potential problems.

Anyone can use infer to detect apps, which can kill serious bugs before they are released, while preventing app crashes and poor performance.

Infer installation

Infer provides pre-built binaries for Linux and Mac OS systems, and if you just want to use infer and don't want to contribute code to the project, these binaries are enough. Conversely, if you want to compile infer, please select Source installation. This article takes the MAC system as an example.
