Analysis of Make builds

this repo tries to find a way to statically or dynamically analyze builds done with make.

Analysis via strace

nexB/tracecode-toolkit or nexB/tracecode-toolkit-strace

tracecode parse: Parses strace output and generates pickle files.
tracecdoe list: Collect the inventory of files processed during the tracing
tracecode graphic: generate a dot graph out of the build

TODO:

bmwcarit/stracepy

Containes a utility called strace2csv which takes an strace log and generates a csv with the header:

timestamp
pid
executable
syscall
filepath
all_filepaths
ret_int
ret_str
syscall_time

This generates a JSON file like:
