Both issues that you managed to identify should have been found by clang as well. Besides, clang's analyzer can be easily integrated with any build process, just set CC, CXX to scan-build. It will both, build the code with your preferred CC and do the analysis producing a nice report should errors be found. -- Maciek Borzecki -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
