It's very easy to pile on a person's comment on the internet. It feels wasteful to develop a seemingly comprehensive and modular code scanner which will inherently find heaps of bugs, and then not release it or allow others to work with it. I am of course grateful that Maxime and others report bugs, but it feels unusual to me that it's acceptable for somebody to consistently be able to find them with a tool, and yet nobody thinks it'd be a good idea to have that tool shared if Maxime is willing. As many here have acknowledged, Maxime's reports are a contribution. So why not seek to have those contributions continue? _That_ was my point, though it was poorly conveyed, falsely appearing to be sarcasm. > > > Le 21/07/2015 12:31, sam a écrit : > > >On Tue, 21 Jul 2015 11:31:44 +0200 > > >Maxime Villard <m...@m00nbsd.net> wrote: > > > > > >>Found by The Brainy Code Scanner. > > >> > > >>It is not the last bug Brainy has found, but it is the last one I > > >>report.
