I'm not trying to say the problems I'm raising are necessarily introduced here in this patch set. We've seen quite a lot of false positives lately. I'm not familiar with coverity, but does it have a suppress file, something like valgrind has? In valrgind, one can enumerate stacktraces that would be reported, but has been investigated by a developer and therefore are known to be okay. If coverity would have something like that I think should utilize it. We've poisoned our code with sa_assert()-s, dummy coverity comments, etc. If we can keep our code clean, that'd be nice. I guess I'm okay with having the coverity suppress file in the repo - we have the valgrind one already. Oh, and for false positives maybe we should file a bug report against coverity (if possible).
