I used a static analyser for C & C++ called cppcheck. It is available from sourceforge. I find it very useful. I think gcc might be able to reproduce these problems with one of the higher warning levels. -Wformat=2 springs to mind, but a check of the gcc documentation around -Wformat will give more accurate guidance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589564 Title: qemu/hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c:2741: possible missing break ?
