Hello all, The latest LLVM Weekly <http://llvmweekly.org/issue/149> featured a blog post by some folks who make a static analyzer named PVS-Studio. They published a blog post <http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0446/> of the errors they encountered in the LLVM project. Although the report contained many false positives <https://twitter.com/chandlerc1024/status/794442485472706563>, some did lead to code improvements.
I tried running the analyzer on the Swift codebase; here are the results: https://gist.github.com/modocache/00eb437ca3cac84960992cdc23fa0f52 It's a little hard to read, but there are some legitimate issues in the report. For example, line #709 in lib/IDE/TypeReconstruction.cpp returns 'false' for a method that has a return type of 'size_t', which is probably incorrect. If you're interested in contributing to Swift, why not start by fixing some of these warnings? :) - Brian Gesiak
