One possible (sub)project would be to extend the existing support for the clang static-analyzer. It is usable, but very rough at the moment, since it uses the console output only. Run "make analyze" e.g. in src/bin/cat to try. One major improvement would be to add JSON compilation database support to the NetBSD build system (both src/share/mk for userland and src/sys/conf for the kernel) and hook it up with analyze-build from the clang tools. This would allow generating e.g. HTML reports, which are much easier to understand as they show the code path leading to the conclusion. It also allows using other tools that want a JSON compilation database as input, e.g. devel/woboq_codebrowser. An old proof of concept can be found in https://www.netbsd.org/~joerg/json.diff and can be used as starting point. Joerg
