Other +people can be added by request. + +K7 was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in mid-July 2006. +This is after Coverity had been making their results available. +There were originally 175 defects reported. Most of these +were false positives. However, there were numerous real issues +also uncovered. + +Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it. +When checking in changes due to a K7 report, the unique id +as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message. +A comment was added to the K7 warning indicating the SVN revision +in addition to any analysis. + +False positives were also annotated so that the comments can +be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect. + +Contact python-dev@python.org for more information. |
