Perhaps not. The C++ compiler was not included until recent versions of the SDK, so I'm not sure whether anyone has tried it. > Why don’t use this to improve Mozilla code it is for free? > A disadvantage of it is to use SAL language for decoration but I think > preprocessor can resolve this problem simply. If it requires annotations, it's no longer "free". I think we're open to the possibility, but in most cases our code patterns are different enough that a pre-built analysis doesn't work. Mozilla does use static analysis of C++ code, but we do it using a slightly modified GCC compilers and analysis scripts written in JavaScript.
