Folks,
Im just wondering what other porters experience of  scan-build  for the
projects that you are maintaining ?

has it been useful in identifying bugs?... or is the analysis engine too
basic  or shallow to properly analyse code ?

are there particular types of bugs it is good at identifying without false
positives ?
are there particular types of bugs  that it identifies that are probably a
waste of time ?

any advice on using scan-build-16 with ports would be appreciated...

Thanks

Tom Smyth
