Hi,
There was a discussion about using Coverity several months ago and Vincent set
up an initial project.
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-August/004962.html
I created a similar Coverity project and have been uploading snapshots since
January and comparing the results to a similar tool we use internally (it
compares well).
If anyone would like to view the analysis results you can sign up to Coverity
and apply for access to the DPDK project.
https://scan.coverity.com/users/sign_up
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/4005 (DPDK)
Alternatively, drop me an email and I'll send you an invite. Apply as
Contributor/Member if you plan to review/close issues or as Defect Viewer if
you just wish to see the issues.
Like any static analysis tool there may be false positives. These can be
flagged as such.
John
