Description

Coverity's static analysis tool has been run on most of the LHC experiments' frameworks, as well as several of the packages provided to them (e.g. ROOT, Geant4). I will present how static analysis works and why it is complimentary to dynamic checkers like valgrind or test suites; typical issues discovered by static analysis; and lessons learned.
