Completely understood. There are a lot of codebases and teams that don't use all the tools available because of lack of time or expertise in setting them up. Many don't even have a CI. The other side of the argument is that those tools are free and open source. Failing to use them in most scenarios is a *choice* (you can't run the Clang tools in codebases that Clang doesn't compile, of course). Therefore, those who could use them but choose not are responsible for the problems that the tools could have caught. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
