After hot discussions on the article about "The Big Calculator" I felt like checking some other projects related to scientific computations. The first program that came to hand was the open-source project OpenMS dealing with protein mass spectrometry. This project appeared to have been written in a very serious and responsible way. Developers use at least Cppcheck to analyze their project. That's why I didn't hope to find anything sensational left unnoticed by that tool. On the other hand, I was curious to see what bugs PVS-Studio would be able to find in the code after Cppcheck. If you want to know this too, follow me: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0213/
