Hi Amos,
Yes, Measurement Factory has purchased a Coverity static analysis
license to automatically detect bugs like the ones you describe. I have
run one Squid test during evaluation, and the tool did detect missing
constructor/destructor/assignment operators (among hundreds of other
bugs and non-bugs).
We are waiting for Factory sysadmin to set the tool up and for Squid
Project sysadmin to setup [automated] Squid tests the results of which
can then be somehow shared with Squid developers (we did get Coverity
permission to do that). I hope this will be done in July.
HTH,
Alex.
