(cherry picked from commit 02b056c5b180b4b8ba22ddc3061d78258e2ef98f on
release-14.04)
These two expressions greatly simplify using the clang-analyzer or
Coverity static analyzer on your C/C++ projects. In fact, they are
identical to nixBuild in every way out of the box, and should 'Just
Work' providing your code can be compiled with Clang already.
The trick is that when running 'make', we actually just alias it to the
appropriate scan build tool, and add a post-build hook that will bundle
up the results appropriately and unalias it.
For Clang, we put the results in $out/analysis and add an 'analysis'
report to $out/nix-support/hydra-build-products pointing to the result
HTML - this means that if the analyzer finds any bugs, the HTML results
will automatically show up Hydra for easy viewing.
For Coverity, it's slightly different. Instead we run the build tool and
after we're done, we tar up the results in a format that Coverity Scan's
service understands. We put the tarball in $out/tarballs under the name
'foo-cov-int.xz' and add an entry for the file to hydra-build-products
as well for easy viewing.
Of course for Coverity you must then upload the build. A Hydra plugin to
do this is on the way, and it will automatically pick up the
cov-int.tar.xz for uploading.
Note that coverityAnalysis requires allowUnfree = true;, as well as the
cov-build tools, which you can download from https://scan.coverity.com -
they're not linked to your account or anything, it's just an annoying
registration wall.
Note this is a first draft. In particular, scan-build fixes the C/C++
compiler to be Clang, and it's perfectly reasonable to want to use Clang
for the analyzer but have scan-build invoke GCC instead.

When using scan-build, you're often going to want to use it in the
context of a Nix expression with buildInputs, and the default wrapper
scripts will put things like include locations for those inputs
$NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE. Thus, scan-build also needs to pass them to the
analyzer - while the link flags aren't relevant, the include flags are.
This is because the analyzer executable that gets run by scan-build is
*not* clang-wrapper, but the actual clang executable, so it doesn't
implicitly add such arguments. The build is two-stage - it runs the real
clang wrapper once, and then the analyzer once.

Copy-pasta error, and compcert doesn't really make sense on Darwin or
64bit linux (it's callPackage_i686 anyway).
