| 2 | Klocwork has a static analysis tool (K7) which is similar to Coverity. | 
|---|
| 3 | They will run their tool on the Python source code on demand. | 
|---|
| 4 | The results are available at: |

| 8 | Currently, only Neal Norwitz has access to the analysis reports.  Other |

| 11 | K7 was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in mid-July 2006. | 
|---|
| 12 | This is after Coverity had been making their results available. | 
|---|
| 13 | There were originally 175 defects reported.  Most of these | 
|---|
| 14 | were false positives.  However, there were numerous real issues | 
|---|
| 15 | also uncovered. | 
|---|
| 16 |  | 
|---|
| 17 | Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it. | 
|---|
| 18 | When checking in changes due to a K7 report, the unique id | 
|---|
| 19 | as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message. | 
|---|
| 20 | A comment was added to the K7 warning indicating the SVN revision | 
|---|
| 21 | in addition to any analysis. | 
|---|
| 22 |  | 
|---|
| 23 | False positives were also annotated so that the comments can | 
|---|
| 24 | be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect. | 
|---|
| 25 |  | 
|---|
| 26 | A second run was performed on 10-Aug-2006.  The tool was tuned to remove | 
|---|
| 27 | some false positives and perform some additional checks.  ~150 new | 
|---|
| 28 | warnings were produced, primarily related to dereferencing NULL pointers. |
