---- Reported by jingke.zhang@intel.com 2010-04-13 01:50:38 +0000 ---- This is from http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3476 At Intel we have access to the static code analysis tool Klocwork. I found Klocwork to be very useful. It nicely complements run-time error checking with valgrind. There are some concerns that using a closed source tool in an open source project isn't fair to the community because they don't have access to it. I agree to some extend: it's not fair to complain to someone about warnings that he couldn't have found without access to the tool. Some people reject closed source tools based on principles. But I think improving the code quality by developing patches with the help of such a tool is fair game. Synthesis would very much appreciate it if we did that. Klocwork works best if integrated into the development process, in other words, is used regularly. It does produce false positives which have to be identified once, but only once when reusing the same Klocwork setup. Perhaps this is something to be integrated into the nightly testing which I intend to set up on an Intel-internal server. --- Bug imported by patrick.ohly@gmx.de 2012-07-29 20:36 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 682 at https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682
