Re: [PATCH] D10305: [Clang Static Analyzer] Bug identification

Hi Babati,

We at Sony are interested in this feature so that our tools can suppress 
undesirable bug warnings. You described at the end of the summary that you have 
thought about introducing new hash calculation algorithms if needed.  How do 
you expect this to work?  i.e. would bug_id_1 always be generated along with 
new improved bug_ids in the same plist file or would you expect the new bug_ids 
to replace old ones. I am hoping that the analyzer will always keep generating 
old bug_ids so that we can maintain backwards compatibility.

Regards,
Phillip

I will likely release the analyzer with all the previous hashes generated by 
default.  I am happy to enable old hashes out of tree, as long as enabling is a 
small change.

How close is "the near future"?  I would like to start using the hashing 
feature in the next couple of weeks.  If your checker identification 
improvements are a long time out, I would like you to submit the current hash 
as non-experimental.

IMO the idea makes good sense and I can benefit from it when moving checkers 
from experimental packages to other packages.

Thanks.
