One important use case that scan-build/ccc-analyzer supports but that the LD_PRELOAD + compilation database approach doesn’t is running the analyzer as the code is being built rather than replaying the build commands later. This is important build systems that move or modify build system intermediates. I think it would be good to continue to have a way to support such projects.
