Dear all,

as you may know the LLVM/clang project is also working on static code
analysis [1] and they provide a very early, very alpha version of their
checker.

For a couple of weeks now, I'm running these scans on the FreeBSD head
source code which spews out lots of "errors" and false positives, but
occasionally it uncovers a real bug.

The curious might want to take a peek at [2] and peruse the long list
(~7000 for buildworld, ~1300 for buildkernel) of (false) positives.

Cheers,
Uli

PS: what happened to the Coverity runs on FreeBSD?
