Scott's r1a4 email reminded me to send this update:
Recently, after asking Coverity about the ability to build multiple
"flavors" of haiku with their software and publish the results
separately, they created two separate "streams" for us: haiku-32bit
and haiku-64bit in anticipation of eventual testing/scanning of the
64bit code separately.
Yesterday, with some assistance from Alex Smith, I built his 64bit
branch of Haiku with Coverity's software and submitted the results to
the haiku-64bit stream. With the new Coverity website filtering, I was
able to filter out results that are found in the haiku-64bit stream,
but not in the haiku-32bit stream, and the number was pretty small -
only 107 "defects" currently. This is likely because the 64bit images
are very very small still ;)
A few of the issues didn't appear to be related to the 64bit code, and
are likely either: 1) new code changes since the last 32bit build was
submitted, or 2) new issues found as a result of updates to Coverity's
server-side analysis (they apparently updated it again recently).
I will probably update the 32bit results again to help filter out the
latter so that Alex can review 64bit specific issues more easily.
If desired, I could request separate "powerpc" and "arm" streams as
well - so we can begin identifying issues specific to each arch... and
we could even begin adding streams for external/experimental branches
where development outside of trunk is occurring. Any thoughts on that?
