<h1>Available Checkers</h1>
The analyzer performs checks that are categorized into families or "checkers". The
default set of checkers covers a variety of checks targeted at finding security
and API usage bugs, dead code, and other logic errors. See the
<a href = "#default_checkers">Default Checkers</a> list below. In addition to
these, the analyzer contains a number of <a href = "alpha_checks.html">
Experimental (Alpha) Checkers</a>.

<h3>Writeups with examples of some of the bugs that the analyzer finds</h3>
