Microsoft Auto Code Review (OACR) uses projects to organize and control the code review settings for a build unit. If you want to customize the default projects or create your own project, you can edit the settings in the Oacr.ini file. The location of the Oacr.ini file is in the WinDDK\version\bin\arch\OACR directory.

Creating a Project

WDKSamples is the default name for a project built under the Windows DDK directory (%BASEDIR%). Anything built outside of the %BASEDIR% of the WDK takes the name root.

1. To create and name your own project, copy the section that describes the existing WDKSamples project in the Project Defaults section of the Oacri.ini file:
   

   ; project 'WDKSamples': the code under src; relies on %_NTROOT%/project.mk
   [WDKSamples]
   ; WarningLocations=^%BASEDIR%\\src
   WarningNumbers=<all>;!<level4>;
   ErrorNumbers=<level0>;<level1>
   ; Use PFD's settings for these
   PREfastOptions=/MAXPATHS=256 /STACKHOGTHRESHOLD=1024
   %_PREFAST_CYCLOMATIC%=2147483647
   %PREFAST_DRIVERS%=1
   [WDKSamples:x86] 
   [WDKSamples:x86fre] 
   [WDKSamples:x86chk] 
   [WDKSamples:amd64] 
   [WDKSamples:amd64fre] 
   [WDKSamples:amd64chk]
   

2. Paste the WDKSamples project in the Project Defaults section, after WDKSamples and root projects. Edit the settings in the copy you made of the WDKSamples project. For example, the following project is named myExamples.

   ; project 'myExamples': the code under src; relies on temp/project.mk
   [myExamples]
   ; WarningLocations=^%BASEDIR%\\src
   WarningNumbers=<all>;!<level4>;
   ErrorNumbers=<level0>;<level1>
   ; Use PFD's settings for these
   PREfastOptions=/MAXPATHS=256 /STACKHOGTHRESHOLD=1024
   %_PREFAST_CYCLOMATIC%=2147483647
   %PREFAST_DRIVERS%=1
   [myExamples:x86] 
   [myExamples:x86fre] 
   [myExamples:x86chk] 
   [myExamples:amd64] 
   [myExamples:amd64fre] 
   [myExamples:amd64chk]
   

3. To direct OACR to use your new project configuration, place a project.mk file in the root directory of your build directory tree. For example, if your source code is under the temp directory of the C: drive, place the project.mk file in the C:\temp directory. In the project.mk file, add the line to set the _PROJECT_= to the project you created in the Oacr.ini file. For example:

   _PROJECT_=myExamples
