The Coverity scan is a great addition to KiCad development. Clicking around on the Coverity site - KiCad defects per 1000 lines are pretty good compared to those projects that allow one to view their statistics. Java based projects seem to be in the 5+ defects/1000. Running Coverity often (assuming changes are made often too) seem to provide better/quicker results. One project in that category is 'coreboot' with 81,041,862 lines analyzed. Their defect number is 0.0 per 1000 (roundoff helps). They were last analyzed one hour ago. Since KiCad also patches wxPython and Boost, maybe a scan including the patched code would provide some useful information. wxWidgets is on the Coverity list and has defects/1000 in KiCad's ballpark. A report might be helpful in crafting useful patches for KiCad. Bob G On 02/16/2015 06:44 AM, Miguel Ángel Ajo wrote:

I signed up with my GitHub account, so username should be BrianSidebotham or brian.sidebotham[at]gmail,com Best Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________
