I setup a coverity project for GNU Mach:

https://scan.coverity.com/projects/1307

Unfortunately the results are not world-readable and I do not believe
it is possible to configure it that way.  So in order to see the
results you need a coverity account (or a github one) and request
access to that project (from me, muhahaha ;).

It might be a bit better than clangs scan-build, but I'm not overly
impressed.  Also, it's cumbersome to use, one needs to download a
tarball full of binaries (both native elf ones and java stuff), then
upload the results to the web application and you can only see the
results through their web-app which is very enterprisey and almost
impossible to use unless one has at least a 19" screen.

The binary-only stuff will also make it impossible/very interesting to
use coverity on the Hurd source.  I'm inclined to lean back and wait
for clangs analyzer to improve ;)

Cheers,
Justus
