Make the MISRA addon emit extra warnings for unused arguments placed in
lines other than the function definition. This makes it easier for the
user to find violations.
The MISRA 2012 standard does not say anything about variadic functions
in the definition of rule 2.7. Therefore, these cases should be
considered as false positives.
* misra: Fix 8.2 false positives
Fix false positives in rule 8.2 that occurred in cases when we have a
function definition and declaration in the same file.
For example, the following code generated false positives before this
commit:
```
void f(uint8_t * const x);
void f(uint8_t * const x)
{ (void)x; }
```
We need to distinguish the declaration and the definition, so the dump
file generation routine was extended to keep token where the definition
of the function. The analysis in the addon also been improved.
Closes Trac issue: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/10219
This fixes the crash on with struct fields containing unknown types
reported on the forum:
https://sourceforge.net/p/cppcheck/discussion/general/thread/d64551cc55/#5f0f
The suggested patch doesn't handle the cases when there are struct
fields with arrays containing unknown types. So the addon will not
generate warnings in these cases. The problem is that Cppcheck doesn't
generate valueType-pointer information for unknown types in the dump
file. When adding this in symboldatabase.cpp, MISRA addon will generate
a lot of false positives because we depend on the null value of
valueType.
So I suppose it better to left this as is, to don't break the addon for
such rare cases.
This commit allows to specify expected suppressions in the included
header files. This is necessary to verify MISRA checkers, which make
requirements for header files. For example, Rule 8.2 requires adding
prototypes for each function to the header files.
Fix false positives for the function calls with "const pointer to const
value" arguments: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/9967.
The variable.valueType.constness have same encoding as encoding as
ValueType::constness in Cppcheck.
C89 standard defines enum members as enumeration contants at ch.
6.4.4.3, and they are always known at compile time.
This commit fix false positives for rule 18.8 (and possible other rules
that check "constentess") with enumeration members.
