I've found it too yesterday. It appears that they are concentrating on security rather than correctness - maybe that's why their warnings were meaningless in your case, and since they don't support C++ (at least according to the site) I'd expect they wouldn't catch many C++ language-related

Hmm, thanks for the pointer. Still costs a fortune, but at least there is something available if we'll really need it. The valgrind stuff seems to address a completly different set of programming errors, I don't think it can completly replace static source code analysis. Oded Arbel wrote: 16
