Hi all, just a heads up if you haven't yet seen this blog post from Andrey Karpov from PVS-Studio. It's a quite a long read. https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0496/ Here's a few highlights (with some paraphrasing). >PVS-Studio fixed errors where it's clear how to fix them without digging deep into the algorithms. >That's why FreeBSD authors should really do a deeper analysis themselves, >not just review that limited number of errors that we presented. >Andrey Karpov is ready to provide a temporary license key and also help to eliminate false positives that may hinder their work. Anyone up for this task? >FreeBSD code is regularly checked by Coverity (which is now a part of Synopsys). >Still, it didn't prevent me from finding 56 potential vulnerabilities and 10 more real bugs in one evening by running PVS-Studio on this code.
