Does the Community use Coverity ?

[pavi1729]

Hi,
  May I know if the community uses the Coverity tool and, if yes where
can I find a repo of
Coverity scans of kernels and IGNORE LIST; cause there obviously would
be false positives.

Cheers,
Pavi

In 2006, the Coverity Scan service was initiated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Pavi,

I suggest that if you get the chance, check out their code browser. Click on one of the bugs in the Linux project and then click the folder icon at the top of the lower left pane to get to the source code. It's ability to cross reference is the best out there. It eliminates all the false positives in cross reference results that you get from more traditional token matching based browsers like cscope, ctags, etc.

I have been tried twice to join the Linux group on scan.coverity, with
no result. Any hint?
