I just ran cppcheck 1.46 on the latest coreutils. It ran for a _long_ time and reported these false positives
[coreutils/src/system.h:355]: (error) Resource leak: fd [coreutils/src/chown-core.c:212]: (error) Resource leak: fd [coreutils/src/ls.c:1963]: (error) Unusual pointer arithmetic [coreutils/src/sleep.c:133]: (error) Uninitialized variable: p I'll see can I fix/report these issues in cppcheck at some stage. cheers, Pádraig.
