Has anyone run a static code analysis tool against the viewer source? Is LL
using a static code analysis tool internally?
I stumbled into a code analysis tool from Coverity that claims to identify
source code flaws through an elaborate static code analysis with a lower
"false positive" rate than similar tools. Coverity seems to offer their tool
(or their services?) free of charge to open source projects.
http://scan.coverity.com/about.html
Coverity publishes a list of open source projects that summarizes the number
of defects identified.

_2008.pdf
Would this tool (or any other static code analysis tool) help identify any
subtle issues with the open source client?
[Disclaimer: I have no direct knowledge of this tool; I simply browsed their
web site. I have no affiliation with the vendor.]
