Errors seen in LOGS/python-adns-1.2.1-9.fc17

This is a summary of errors seen when compiling with an experimental static analysis tool

Raw build logs can be seen here

Reference leaks

Code paths in which the reference count of an object is left too high, leading to memory leaks

Reference leak within initialization

Code paths in which the reference count of an object is left too high, but within an initialization routine, and thus likely to only happen once

Segfaults within error-handling paths

Code paths in error-handling that will lead to a segmentatation fault (e.g. under low memory conditions)

Possible reference leaks

Code paths in which the reference count of an object might too large - but in which the reference in question came from a function not known to the analyzer.

The analyzer assumes such references are new references, but if the function returns a borrowed reference instead, it's probably not a bug

Returning (PyObject*)NULL without setting an exception

These messages are often false-positives: the analysis tool has no knowledge about internal API calls that can lead to an exception being set
