Hi, My perceptions is by reading through the whole thread - we should not trust 100% external tools to asses the safety of the code. I don't think there exist an algorithm that produces no false positives.
That's said I admire Stefan's approach, but we should ask the question are we MT safe enough? I would say from what I read here: yes.
