<p>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 a growing set
of checks to find bugs that occur on a specific path within a program. Examples
of checks to find bugs that occur on a specific path within a program. Examples
of bugs the tool finds include logic errors such as null dereferences,
violations of various API rules, dead code, and potential memory leaks in
Objective-C programs. Since its public announcement at Apple's WWDC 2008
conference, the public feedback on the tool has been extremely positive, and
conservative estimates put the number of real bugs it has found in

<p>The tool also provides a simple web GUI to inspect potential bugs found by
the tool. While still early in development, the GUI illustrates some of the key
the tool. While still early in development, the GUI illustrates some of the key
features of Clang: accurate source location information, which is used by the
GUI to highlight specific code expressions that relate to a bug (including those
that span multiple lines) and built-in knowledge of macros, which is used to
perform inline expansion of macros within the GUI itself.</p>
