hmm reading up on the generated warnings I wonder if that list was
generated with the default/recommended settings of the static analyzer -
for example there is a _ton_ of V122 - "Memsize type is used in the
struct/class." errors but the docs on http://www.viva64.com/en/d/0070/
state:
"By default it is disabled since it generates false warnings in more
than 99% of cases."
So maybe you need to apply some default settings to get a more sensible
report to start from?
