What's "Coverity"?

Answer 2 · 2016-03-10T13:03:07.000Z

OK, this seems relevant: https://scan.coverity.com/github

Answer 3 · 2016-03-10T13:18:53.000Z

The overview of the current build is here.

BTW: Github integration is not very relevant at this point, because this is mostly for using travis-ci to build and upload, and the travis-ci build environment uses a rather old Ubuntu (14.04 at best), which has an old version of ITK.

The overview of the current build is here.

That page requires sign-in unfortunately... Also Coverity is proprietary... :(
Does it have free alternatives?

Here is the the public page. Well, Coverity is free-as-in-beer for developers of free software ... but yes, one has to run their proprietary tool.

The only free alternative I can think of is using clang to compile the code with the static analyzer, it's not as thorough though.

Well, and some errors would also be caught by valgrind.

Answer 7 · 2016-03-10T14:33:12.000Z

Thought I'd mention cppcheck. :)

All issues resolved with the exception of #16.
