Comment (by teor):

 By "daily basis" do you mean a make target, or also a jenkins run?

 Tor passes the standard OS X Xcode "Deep Analyze" clang scan-build checks,
 or at least it did when I last ran them on an 0.2.8-alpha.

 So let's aim for something between tor's current checks and the OS X "Deep
 Analyze" checks, which as far as I can tell, should be the default checks
 with: `--mode deep`.

 That said, this will likely produce different results on different clang
 versions.
