Using the plugin also changes the string for ``PRI[udx]64`` from the
system value to ``%L[udx]`` (normally ``%ll[udx]`` or ``%l[udx]``.)
Additionally, the FRR codebase is regularly scanned with Coverity.
Unfortunately Coverity does not have the ability to handle scanning pull
requests, but after code is merged it will send an email notifying project
members with Coverity access of newly introduced defects.
Additionally, the FRR codebase is regularly scanned for static analysis
errors with Coverity and pull request changes are scanned as part of the
Continuous Integration (CI) process. Developers can scan their commits for
Coverity static analysis errors prior to submission using the
``scan-build`` command. To use this command, the ``clang-tools`` package must
be installed. For example, this can be accomplished on Ubuntu with the
``sudo apt-get install clang-tools`` command. Then, touch the files you want scanned and
invoke the ``scan-file`` command. For example::
cd ~/GitHub/frr
touch ospfd/ospf_flood.c ospfd/ospf_vty.c ospfd/ospf_opaque.c
cd build
scan-file make -j32
The results of the scan including any static analysis errors will appear inline.
Additionally, there will a directory in the /tmp containing the Coverity
reports (e.g., scan-build-2023-06-09-120100-473730-1).
