[haiku-development] New Coverity scan results online: r39894 nightly-raw gcc4 build

Hey all,

I have finally gotten confirmation from Coverity that the new software
is online and ready to accept new submissions using a more recent
version of the software to analyze the code.

This means we get to experience the deeper scanning technology that
Coverity has been working on for several years - we're finally using
Coverity v5 now (previous version was 2.4.1).

I have run the software over the trunk r39894 using the nightly-raw
profile and gcc4 only this time. For those developers who have
Coverity accounts, you can login here: http://scan.coverity.com:9065
and see the results.

Run 7 has the new results - 10506 new "potential defects" derived from
many new types of "checker" filters.

I intend to work with Coverity further to a) get several people added
to the user list who were forgotten in previous requests I have made,
and b) get the "Components" administration unlocked so we can start
categorizing the defects appropriately. The Coverity Scan project has
been very busy and mostly unresponsive over the last year, but I'm
hoping they're over this upgrade hurdle now and will have more time.

Let me know (on list or off list) if you have any questions, or are a
committer and don't yet have an account.

Thanks,

Urias McCullough
