I use Coverity at work (http://www.coverity.com, the same company whose flagship product has been used on a large number of open-source projects over the past few years, including Vim: http://scan.coverity.com/), and recently found out about the cov-format-errors command. Normally Coverity finds a bunch of potential defects which are then committed to a central server where all users can view them. The cov-format- errors command allows you to export all the defects found in a given analysis into a gcc-like format.
But it's not gcc-like enough for Vim! I'm wondering if anyone has a compiler plugin/errorformat definition they've found or made for the cov-format-errors command? Here's a small sample of the output, from analyzing a portion of some version of the GLU library we link into our software: Error: MISSING_RETURN: /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ sweep.c:256: missing_return: Arriving at the end of a function without returning a value. Error: RESOURCE_LEAK: /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ mesh.c:282: alloc_fn: Calling allocation function "allocFace". /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ mesh.c:58: alloc_fn: Storage is returned from allocation function "malloc". /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ mesh.c:58: return_alloc_fn: Directly returning storage allocated by "malloc". /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ mesh.c:282: var_assign: Assigning: "newFace" = storage returned from "allocFace()". /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ mesh.c:294: leaked_storage: Variable "newFace" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. Error: USE_AFTER_FREE: /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ dict.c:72: alias: Assigning: "node" = "dict->head.next". Now both point to the same storage. /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ dict.c:73: freed_arg: "free" frees "node". /accts/btfritz/coverity/derived_models/glu/Mesa3-5/si-glu/libtess/ dict.c:72: deref_after_free: Dereferencing freed pointer "node". Later this week if nobody knows of a ready-made solution, I'll probably piece together an errorformat string on my own. But I figure I'll save the effort if somebody already has it done for me. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
