The Different Types of Static Analyzers
static analyzers are going to be looking for specific types of bugs and so this would be a bug that it was look yeah this is a bug that they already know of. They can go all the way from I'm just going to look for the single syntactic pattern by just looking at the program itself to maybe prove something about the program itself over these abstract semantics. The nice thing about static analyzers is similar to formal verifiers they can come with guarantees because if they aren't able to find a particular pattern or whatever they're supposed to it's guaranteed not to be in that program.
