Conformance Tests
The results from our conformance tests are posted on http://test.winehq.org/. These tests need fixing so that they don't fail on Windows. See ConformanceTests for more information.
If you would like to run the tests on your Windows box, you can download a prebuilt 32-bit Windows .exe from http://test.winehq.org/builds/winetest-latest.exe (or a 64-bit Windows .exe from http://test.winehq.org/builds/winetest64-latest.exe).
Smatch
Smatch is basically a patch to gcc-3.1.1 that makes gcc dump its internal representation of the code and a set of perl modules/scripts to ease the parsing of the dumped code. Most of the perl scripts are for the Linux kernel, but writing new scripts seems to be easy.
Michael Stefaniuc adapted an existing script for the kernel to find code paths with missing LeaveCriticalSection's. Scripts to find some other useful things like fd, DC, and GDI object leaks should be easy to write.
There is a web page about Wine and Smatch. It includes also a table with the bugs found by the smatch scripts: http://people.redhat.com/mstefani/wine/smatch/
