​Update:
​Results are very positive so far.​

- Many fixes for Kexi 2 & 3 are already committed:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/kexi.

- We've found no serious bugs and even not so many moderate bugs in the
sister project KDb, that's probably because extensive autotesting exists
for it and also valgrind was used frequently:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/kdb

-
​ Checks for further sister projects are submitted, expected within a week:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/kreport,
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/kproperty

​ -Interesting false positive for any Qt/KDE project is related to
d-pointers. Basically attributes of Private* classes are not initialized in
these classes directly but in the main class, e.g.

   d->foo = new QPushButton;

 So we have to mark​ these cases as false positives by hand (only once, not
per build).

​If you're interested in helping out (probably soon for KReport and
KProperty), please respond. The Coverity Scan is in heavy use worldwide so
we're repeating checks mostly after nontrivial changes, not after every
commit.
