Hi.<br>
<br>
<br>
In case anyone is interested, I ran the clang analyzer on several open<br>
source projects. (gcc, gdb, glib, ntp, openldap, openssl, postfix).<br>
<br>
However, there are many issues found on most of those projects, which<br>
are reasonably well known and widely used pieces of software. Which<br>
makes me wonder if there arent just a lot of false positives here ?<br>
<br>
<br>
The resulting reports can be found here :<br>
