Question

I am working on iPhone application..

For the purpose of finding memory leaks I have started the application with the instruments which gave me lots of leaks . which i was unable to understand then in a forum somewhere I have read that the instruments gives spurious leaks sometime so I should start by the Static analysis .

Then I have used Clang Static analyser and it gave me only 7 bugs after solving that my app was bug free from the view of Static analysis .

Both analysis leaks were different .

If I still test with instruments it still gives leaks .

So my question is that should I rely on the clang Static Analyzer results or Instruments
results ..

Answer 1

They’re complimentary tools that spot problems in your code in two very different ways. You should use both.
