[Freeswitch-dev] Static analysis tool Cppcheck discovered many errors in FreeSWITCH code

[Michael Jerris]

The correct way to do this would be to run this on the latest master branch of freeswitch and file and potential issues as security issues in Jira.  Yes, many hundreds of issues have been fixed since 1.4 (1.4 is now eol) and we make use of static analysis tools.  Static analysis tools in general have very high false positive rate, we do our best to address issues found with them, but they require much more than running a tool and getting a report.  Every single one of those reports needs to be investigated, confirmed if its actually valid (typically 80%+ are not), reported.
