I agree with the deconstruction of this kind of messaging as marketing. But, I am completely in favor of the kind of automatic analysis that Coverity does, and having fixed many of the bugs they've found in X, I'm quite sure it's improved our code quality; most of the things it found were subtle and unlikely to get noticed by even a thorough reader.
I think, though, that that's mostly a condemnation of the languages we're using to build software. It's just too easy to write something syntactically valid but semantically implausible. |
