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.
Sweet. I wondered what happend with Coverity. We had an FOSS account
there years ago but after the ring level changes they stopped contacting
us and even scanning recent sources, kept scanning daily but only on old
sources.
