@n3npq : That'd be nice.

For the every-now-and-then use I've been making do with clang-analyzer. It 
might not be quite on the level of Coverity, but then I can run it locally 
without having to wade through terms-of-use and the like which I remember 
finding somehow off-putting when I last looked at Coverity - many years ago and 
probably changed a lot since. Anyway, clang-analyzer provides plenty of chatter 
to fill in the rainy days, and yeah including dead assignments (clang jargon 
for set-but-unused).

Analysis on CI only makes sense if it can report just the new issues introduced 
by that commit, otherwise it's just a truckload of electronic waste. IIRC (from 
another project) Coverity can do that, and also permits marking false positives 
as such.
