[cfe-dev] GSOC Static Analyzer Proposal

[Adam Schnitzer]

John and Sean,

Thank you very much for the feedback. I have a better idea of scope and
where to focus.

John, I think you're absolutely right, with -fsanitize=undefined and
others, more behavior is being caught at runtime/compile time. I will start
working on a list of behaviors for which no diagnostics currently exist,
and select a subset to focus on.
