[cfe-dev] [GSoC 2019] Apply the Clang Static Analyzer to LLVM-based projects - final report

[Csaba Dabis via cfe-dev]

Hey everyone!

This Summer we managed to make the Clang Static Analyzer support the LLVM
and
LLVM-based projects with my mentors Artem Dergachev and Gabor Horvath.

For a more detailed documentation please visit my final report:

The project in a nutshell: I have fixed the most annoying false positives
and
added support for the custom RTTI of LLVM which became a huge true positive
boost as we now emit warnings on misuse of LLVM casting APIs. All of my
patches
(except one D65239) are upstreamed and on by default. The remaining work is
to
fix the less annoying and not so common false positives.
