Currently, we want to give an overview of the usage of code= review and static analysis tools in open source projects. Therefore, I wou= ld be very happy to know a little bit more about how code reviews are used = in GDB and if (and maybe how) static analysis tools are used. I have a coup= le of questions for anyone willing to answer: 1. Do all developers (contributors and core developers) have to submit a co= de review for every change? I=92m asking because many projects only review = changes made by contributors. 2. Which code review tools are used? 3. Are static analyzers used? If they are used: a. Is passing the checks of the static analyzers necessary for a change t= o be accepted? b. Which static analyzers are used? Thanks, Radjino
