Coverity 8.7.0 has been released!
This release includes new/improved support for the Jack-and-Jill Android Toolchain. In addition, there a number of new checkers available for C#/Java/Android/Javascript.
The following improvements have been made:
- Support for C++11 noexcept exception specifiers has been improved for implicitly declared special member functions.
- Support for C++11 noexcept exception specifiers has been improved.
- Added parsing support of C11 atomic feature.
- Support for Clang modules has been added. It is no longer necessary to disable Clang modules support in native builds in order to capture a build.
- Added support for clang version 3.9.
- Uncaught exception defects will now be reported for functions declared with the C++11 noexcept exception specifier.
- Apple Clang 8.0 is now supported.
All users who are experiencing build issues should upgrade to this version; a number of bugs have been fixed with this release.
WARNING: Linux users on kernel version 4.8.x and newer will need to apply a sysctl parameter to support our binaries. Without this parameter, our binaries will not work on your platform. This is a known issue which we will address with a future release.
# sysctl vsyscall=emulate
