Conformance Tests
Results from our conformance tests are posted here: test.winehq.org/data/ These tests need fixing so that they don't fail on Windows. There's always a need for volunteers to run the test suite on their boxes as well as help fix them.
If you would like to run the tests on your box, you can download a prebuilt Windows EXE from here: www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/
Smatch
Smatch is basically a patch to gcc-3.1.1 that makes gcc dump out its internal representation of the code and a set of perl modules/scripts to ease the parsing of the dumped code. Most of the perl scripts are for the Linux kernel but writing new scripts seems to be easy.
Michael Stefaniuc adapted an existing script for the kernel to find code paths with missing LeaveCriticalSection's. Scripts to find some other useful things like fd, DC, and GDI object leaks should be easy to write.
There is a web page about Wine and Smatch. It includes also a table with the bugs found by the smatch scripts: people.redhat.com/mstefani/wine/smatch/
