Hi Everyone, Thanks to Nicola's latest tweak to -make, it's now possible to use the clang static analyser with GNUstep Make apps.
The static analyser front end thingy is not installed by default with clang, so if you want to do this you will need to run it from its location in the source tree, something like this: $ ~/llvm/tools/clang/tools/scabuild/scan-build -k gmake This will generate a directory in /tmp (you can control the output location with -o) containing the analysis results. Note that some of the things the analyser does are O(n^2), so it can take a very long time to run. It took me about 15 minutes to run for -base, generating 73MB of HTML in the process. You can find the results here: http://theravensnest.org/gsbase/ At some point, I'll set up a nightly cron job on that machine to automatically run it on GNUstep and Étoilé. For now, the report on -base should give people something to do. It found 277 bugs. Quite a few of these are instances of the same bug in a macro. Please look at them carefully - some looked like spurious errors to me, until I read the code three times (the two bad release errors in NSString, for example - the dataWith*: messages should be initWith*:) The one in GSRunLoopCtx.m looks like it could be responsible for the weirdness that a few people have experienced with run loops hanging - it looks like we're occasionally trying to poll a nonsense file descriptor. The 50 dead stores are probably okay. Some of the dead increments are bugs - people doing *i++ when they mean (*i)++, for example, although others are safe.
