Yes.  This is the sort of thing that Fedora could be and should be in the
forefront of.  I ended up running scan-build from clang-analyzer and found
more memory leaks, null pointer deferences and other issues that cppcheck
doesn't find. I am going to try and send in some patches if I can. It would
be great if this sort of thing was done via a centralized infrastructure
that catches these bugs early on and encourages upstreams to fix them
quickly.
