While the halting problem can be pretty important in some cases, it's not very relevant in most day to day code. If you're not sure if your code will ever terminate, that usually means that you're doing something wrong.
So sure, sometimes Coverity will fail because of the halting problem, and in those cases it can give an appropriate error message. Most of the time, though, it'll work just fine and be a very useful tool.
