Hi

In the last few days, I have been running cppcheck on quite a few programs including systemd, transmission, libvirt,  ndjbdns etc and cppcheck has found real and potential bugs (null pointer dereferences, uninitialized variables, memory & resource leaks etc) in each of them.  I have reported the ones I found and several developers have already fixed the issues.   A couple of examples

You might also consider add a build target for regular checks

That would be all.  Thanks

Rahul
