This sounds like a great spin off - bug finding in C code. Have you put much thought into pursuing this?

Didn't think too much about it since there are many C specific analyzers and tools that do the same. Well, they do it way better. E.g. Valgrind.

I would guess the value would be if you find bugs that other tools don't. If you just find the same bugs as Valgrind then I agree that there would not be too much value, but if you find unique bugs then it would be useful.
