Coverity scan?

Post #1 of 5 (998 views)

Now that the render branch has been
merged, is it time for another Coverity
build before starting the RC process
to see if that analyzer will identify
anything of importance? Historically
Coverity has been a useful compliment
to the other code analysis tools.

I believe the last time I suggested
this that someone had to go down
a long and winding road to get the
process to work, but hopefully this
time it would be easier.

I have this set up on my fedora27 builder, so it shouldn't be too hard
to kick off a new scan. Now if I can just find my instructions....

They are likely found at the end of that long,
dark, windy road, now a bit muddy having
been sitting under a rock for a while...... :-)

Perhaps such instructions should be placed
in something like the extras repo so that the
next time they are easier to find (and there
will always be a next time)?

Thanks! Hopefully there is sufficient wheat
compared to chaff (false positives) to make
the effort worthwhile.
