<p>Previously announced in the 2.4 and 2.5 LLVM releases, the Clang project also
includes an early stage static source code analysis tool for <a
href="http://clang.llvm.org/StaticAnalysis.html">automatically finding bugs</a>
in C and Objective-C programs. The tool performs checks to find
bugs that occur on a specific path within a program.
The set of checks performed by the static analyzer continues to expand, and
bugs that occur on a specific path within a program.</p>
<p>In the LLVM 2.6 time-frame, the analyzer core has undergone several important
improvements and cleanups and now includes a new <em>Checker</em> interface that
is intended to eventually serve as a basis for domain-specific checks. Further,
in addition to generating HTML files for reporting analysis results, the
analyzer can now also emit bug reports in a structured XML format that is
intended to be easily readable by other programs.</p>
<p>The set of checks performed by the static analyzer continues to expand, and
future plans for the tool include full source-level inter-procedural analysis
and deeper checks such as buffer overrun detection. There are many opportunities
to extend and enhance the static analyzer, and anyone interested in working on
