Thank you for your suggestions and comments so far. These docs wouldn't get so helpful without them. Change log v2 -> v3: - Changed the paragraph about Sparse to make it sound better (hopefully) - Minor adjusts to make the considerations about Coccinelle sound better and be precise Change log v1 -> v2: - New patch adding considerations on when to use each tool - Brought generic tool characteristics to the intro paragraph - Made explicit that these tools run at compile time - Added a note of caution about false positives - Updated Coccinelle info to make it sound better and be more skimmable Marcelo Schmitt (2): Documentation: dev-tools: Add a section for static analysis tools Documentation: dev-tools: Enhance static analysis section with discussion Documentation/dev-tools/testing-overview.rst | 63 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 63 insertions(+) -- 2.35.1
