New release: v2.0.1
v2.0.1 has just been released. This is a minor release containing only bugfixes and cleanups. No new functionality has been added and no behavior has changed.
Note: The __likely() and __unlikely() macros, which were deprecated in
the previous release, have now been removed.
Static code analysis
Most of the bugs fixed in this release were discovered by two static code analysis tools we’ve started using since the previous release:
- Cppcheck, which is run on every commit; any defect it reports is considered a build failure.
- Coverity Scan, which is run manually on the master branch. The results of the analysis can be found at https://scan.coverity.com/projects/lely-core-libraries.
As of this writing, Coverity Scan reports 4 outstanding defects. These are false positives which, for some reason, we cannot get Coverity to ignore.
These tools are used in addition to the Clang Static Analyzer and cpplint, which have been in use for a while now.
