    Working with LibCheck - LibCheck options


    (Page 4 of 4 )

     

    LibCheck contains multiple options that allow you to alter its functionality through accompanying text files. Some of the supported modifications include designating the report header HTML, specifying files to ignore, and identifying assemblies to be loaded from the GAC instead of the specified directory. The LibCheck Tool Specification document outlines the use of the text files associated with the modifications and gives guidance on their usage.

    In addition to the modifications possible through the text files, it is also possible to control the behavior of LibCheck through a variety of command-line parameters. For a complete list of command-line parameters and usage information, runlibcheck.exefrom the command line without any parameters, or refer to the tool-specification document.

    Getting Support

    LibCheck is a product of Microsoft’s Base Class Library team. For support, email them directly at bclpub@microsoft.com or visit their blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/ bclteam/default.aspx.

    LibCheck in a Nutshell

    LibCheck is a great tool for generating and analyzing information about the public interfaces of your code and tracking interface changes between different assembly versions.
    Breaking changes can lead to many unintended consequences if the changes are not anticipated and communicated properly. LibCheck’s generated churn report and XML
    file can be a valuable resource in identifying breaking changes and communicating them to consumers of your libraries.
