Bugs in (2.6.18) from static analysis tool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

We are in the final stages of refining a new static analysis framework and are testing it out on various large open source software projects (like other ventures in this space).

Unlike other enterprises, we are making a linux intraprocedural analysis tool openly available in binary form to allow our results to be reproduced and validated. Ditto the bug lists.

Although this is commercial software, our team are all strong OS advocates and contributors. We hope to release some components of this project on an OS basis just as soon as we can trash out a solid plan which allows this while also enabling us to purchase food.

I've only attached 1 or 2 bugs at the end here (the full list is about 10K ascii text), there are at www.cqsat.com/linux.html#bugs. There's about 50 and I recon 20 or so are both real and not yet identified.

Any comments/issues/feedback is appreciated.
