Oy Vey! I've just built clang from SVN and now it finds 3354 bugs.
Regretfully, its report is not file based - it just shows them one after
another, not sorted by file.
I'm not even sure how to open a bug on so many files, and it would be quite
difficult go through each file and report the bug. The report ( 6 HTMLs,
uncompressed) is 1.8MB - should I perhaps zip and file a single bug?
I'm almost done with the fixes to packet-ssl.c, but there are so many
others...
Y.
