  STANSE is a free (available under the GPLv2 license) modular framework for
finding bugs in C programs using static analysis. Its two main design goals are
1) ability to process large software projects like the Linux kernel and 2)
extensibility with new bug-finding techniques with a minimal effort. Currently
there are four bug-finding algorithms implemented within STANSE:
AutomatonChecker checks properties described in an automata-based formalism,
ThreadChecker detects deadlocks among multiple threads, LockChecker finds
locking errors based on statistics, and ReachabilityChecker looks for
unreachable code. STANSE has been tested on the Linux kernel, where it has
found dozens of previously undiscovered bugs.
