Doing "&*some_ptr_var" is redundant and might be the remainder
of a refactoring. Warnings for expanded macros are excluded though:
They are often used with and without pointers and
do something like this: "func(&(*macroarg))".
The new check is fully AST based and was given
strong false positive testing on a large code base.
- Fixed name of the function
- Fixed false positive for code like "class strcmp { strcmp() {} };"
- Fixed FP #6233 on checking side (no AST generated for function call)
- Removed definitely unnecessary forward declarations (e.g. "class Token"; token.h is already included by check.h, so a definition is unnecessary)
- Removed unused includes
- Fixed false negatives on self assignments of more complex expressions like "a.b"
- New false negative on self assignment in initialization
- Support this->... pattern in isSameExpression()
- Fixed#5819: Check type of operands
- Resolved false positives #4170 and #4186, as well as numerous other potential false positives
- Improved message to point to both locations
- Inner condition could also be a while loop; Outer if could also be 'else if'
- Made the check non-experimental again (#3645)
- Fixed lots of cppcheck messages about functions that can be const or static
- Fixed possible nullpointer dereference message in symboldatabase.cpp
- Replaced tokAt(+-1) by next()/previous()
1. fix typos / misspellings
- Fix misspelling within comments, variable/function names, stdout messages
- changes the name of an error code: ```stlBoundries``` changed to ```stlBoundaries```. Alias old name (```stlBoundries```) to the new one.
2. fix gcc v3.4.6 32bit & 64bit warnings
- fixes gcc v3.4.6 warnings, except for those in tinyxml and "-Wmissing-declarations" makefile warnings
- in Preprocessor::handleIncludes(), replace a ```vector <bool>``` with ```stack<bool>``` (see ```vector<bool>``` warning below).
- this is the only ```vector<bool>``` in the codebase
- ```vector <bool>``` is actually a case of template specialization, and is not recommended, according to the following links:

- in the codebase before and after this change, testrunner SEGVs in a number of places on gcc v3.4.6, including ```Check::~Check()```, among others
- fc42fc95 fixes this particular runtime issue for DJGPP & __sun
- Check for sizeof(ptr)/something: This indicates that programmer was trying to calculate array size, but sizeof(ptr) doesn't return the length of the memory area, but size of a pointer.
- Check for sizeof()*sizeof(): This indicates that programmer misunderstood what sizeof() does: It does return the length in bytes of the given variable, not e.g. the number of elements in an array.
- New check (Inconclusive): Array filled incompletely with memset/memcpy/memmove
-- This check only warns if the number of elements is given as size in bytes to memset, memcpy or memmove and if the size of an element is larger than 1 Byte. It does not warn for random numbers
- New check: Detect ineffective statements like '*foo++;' (Should be: '(*foo)++;')
Sorry for the inconveniences.
This check only warns if the number of elements is given as size in bytes to memset, memcpy or memmove and if the size of an element is larger than 1 Byte. It does not warn for random numbers
- Made several functions (Check*::myName and others) because they don't touch depend on a specific instance. (cppcheck findings)
- Removed description of a check in CheckConst that has moved to CheckIO
Updated VS9 solution
New VS10 solution that builds cppcheck into a dll used by cli and testrunner.
Functional changes and advantages of new solution:
- Share code between testrunner and cli; ability to share code with gui as well (not yet implemented)
- Files of /lib are no longer compiled twice (should improve build time on single core machines)
- Added configuration for building with PCRE support
- Executables are build into /bin (/bin/debug in debug mode) folder (Should no longer require rebuild when switching between debug and release)
- Completely x64 compatible (contains also x64-debug configuration now)
Refactorized usage of SymbolDatabase in checkOther:
- Don't copy Function instances in checkExpressionRange
- Simplifications by more accurate usage of information in database
- More accurate usage of symbolDatabase to reduce code and false negatives
- Avoided unnecessary construction of pattern string
- Only search for class/struct definition before usage
- removed unused function CheckOther::concatNames
- Replaced one indendation counter by Token::link() in checkother.cpp
- Forward declaration of Settings in threadexecutor.h
- Added support for comparision of bool constant with number constant (-> fixed#1877) and integer variable with boolean expression
- Moved a check from checkComparisonOfBoolWithInt to checkComparisonOfBoolExpressionWithInt
- Generalized some patterns
- Made error message more accurate concnerning the "neither 0 nor 1" part.
- Reduced number of Token::Match calls
- Use more generic patterns
- Look on operator precedence more consequently
-> Made a TODO test case from a test case that worked previously, because the calculation is simplified so that the problem isn't detected any more.
Changed comment "Coding style checks" to "Checks", because it didn't fit
- Bailout on expanded macros for conclusive checking
- Support for more operators
- Removed indendation counter
Improved checkSignOfUnsignedVariable:
- Made the patterns more generic
- Improved verbose error message (-> Fixed#3080)
- Added a lot of additional pattern
- Rewrote error messages to make them more understandable and better fitting to the situation. (Fixed#3664)
- Cleanup in unit tests
Improved message of static string comparision check
Fixed false negative on argument count of fnprintf/snprintf when first variable argument is a string. (#3655)
Uncommented call of virtualDestructorError in getErrorMessages in checkclass.h
Refactorizations:
- Rearranged code in checkother.h to make ordering more consistent and to increase encapsulation of private data
- Replaced some single-token-patterns
Detect sign extension problems when variable is a reference (#3637)
Refactorizations:
- Tokenizer::getFiles returns a reference instead of a pointer, because its guaranteed that no nullpointer is returned
- Remove signed/unsigned in one step for "%type% signed|unsigned"
- Fixed recently introduced compiler warning in symboldatabase.cpp
- Fixed false positive: throw outerCatchVar; in inner catch is now correctly handled
- Added eTry and eCatch to Scope::isLocal -> Scopes inside catch are now detected by symbol database
Add a check for function calls that have no side effects. That means
known const methods and a list including strcmp, strlen, etc.
If the function is not known to be side effect-free then no style
warning is given.
Add test cases for the duplicate expressions.
Expand the logic for the check for the same expression on both sides of
the || and && operators. Now expressions can be more complex, with the
"alt" variable helping to fudge operator precedence to avoid false
positives.
This checks for the case where the user thought sizeof(buf) gave the
size in bytes of 'buf' in code like the following:
const char *buf = "Hello World";
strncmp(buf, other, sizeof(buf));
The symbol database is unavailable during token simplification
and &data[0] might return something completely different for C++.
Moved code_is_c() from checkOther to Tokenizer.
statements if they are followed by a {..} block.
Examples are:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i);
{
printf("i)";
}
or
if (i == 100);
{
die("Wrong argument");
}
This new check is active if you enable inconclusive checks.
