[GRASS-dev] Fwd: New Defects reported by Coverity Scan for grass

[Maris Nartiss]

Hello Markus,
as most of errors reported are legit, some of them are useless at the
current philosophy of GRASS GIS. We are OK with small memory leaks, as
modules are intended to be short running and then memory is reclaimed
by the OS (this is faster than freeing it before exit). Of course,
this would not be OK for long-running apps. Unless we change our
approach, resource leaks are just a noise.

I would vote against integrating Coverty scan into CI — just to keep
noise level down. It is useless to get regular reports if we do not
plan (lack of manpower) to react to them.

Just my 0.02 cents,
Māris.
