Some of the detectors require Soufflé to be installed. If no Soufflé installation is found, these detectors won't be executed.
A few detectors are optional and aimed at auditors to help uncover subtle issues in the source code. To enable all detectors, use the --all-detectors option. You can find a full list of configuration options on the configuration page.
Each detector targets a specific type of problem in your code. Click on the detector name to learn more.
