[cfe-dev] [Bug 8202] I get no reports from running "scan-build <args...> make -k"

I got this response from a bug report filed about the scan-build tool
not doing the static analysis:

I tried setting CCC_ANALYZER_CPLUSPLUS but still no go.

If one wants try the static analysis on a set of project c++ source
files, what is the correct way to do it?

Thanks,
