If you are not convinced by SCAN tool, i found 2 great infine loop bugs in
trace :

364void ImportFilterModel::slotRowsAboutToBeRemoved(const QModelIndex&
/*parent*/, int start, int end)
 365{
 366    QList<CamItemInfo> infos;
 367

non_progress_update: Update "i++" makes no progress toward falsifying the
loop condition "i > end".

CID 981140 (#1 of 1): Infinite loop (INFINITE_LOOP)loop_top: Top of the
loop.

loop_condition: If "i > end" is initially true then it will remain true.
368    for (int i = start; i > end; i++)
 369    {
 370        infos << camItemInfo(index(i, 0));

loop_bottom: Bottom of the loop.
371    }

...

352void ImportFilterModel::slotRowsInserted(const QModelIndex& /*parent*/,
int start, int end)
353{
354    QList<CamItemInfo> infos;
355

non_progress_update: Update "i++" makes no progress toward falsifying the
loop condition "i > end".

CID 981139 (#1 of 1): Infinite loop (INFINITE_LOOP)loop_top: Top of the
loop.

loop_condition: If "i > end" is initially true then it will remain true.
356    for (int i = start; i > end; i++)
357    {
358        infos << camItemInfo(index(i, 0));

loop_bottom: Bottom of the loop.
359    }

> As you already see my previous mail about traces generated with this tool

> code analyzer to detect programming errors.
>
> I compiled and submitted a first tarball to SCAN web interface (500Mb of
> db file), and 30mns later i receive a mail to said that analyse is ready to
> be read through Coverity Connect Manager.

> Web interface is really nice to use and to parse important errors. It's
> really  more suitable than an export to text list as Red Hat sent me
> previously.
>
> I recommend to all developers who want to improve source code to take an
> account to Coverity SCAN web interface.
