- nl 13y agoThe PVS-Studio analyzer has generated 3582 first-level warnings (the set of General Analysis rules) for this project. This number is very big. Most of them are false positives. .. [a] simple operation lets us subtract 2300 false positives from the total number of messages (3528). We have at one instant eliminated 65% of messages. Now we don't have to waste time examining them.

- kodablah 13y agoThis was discussed in the August review [1]. Basically, they found ~3500 problems, and whittled it down to ~1200 after removing just one warning about a strangely implemented macro. This is similar to many other static analysis tools (e.g. findbugs)...you have to work the ruleset for your app sometimes. 1 - http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0205/#ID0EV4AO http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0205/#ID0EV4AO
