Great work! Awesome to see this for Inkscape, static analysis is a must these days.
I feel the only way forward for our project is to use these tools.
I have never used Clang static analyzer, how good is it? a lot of false-positives?
I have not seen many false positives, but they are there. However, *all* false positives that I have seen in our codebase are the result of very very poor code design, and it takes a while to figure out that it is a false positive at all. Clang's static analyzer is the best I have used and presents its reports in a nice HTML page that helps to find and fix the problem. It's also easy to set up btw. (use scan-build)

Hi Johan, Wow. This looks like it could be really useful in the days to come!
