This will now warn for cases like this:
```cpp
auto& f() {
std::vector<int> x;
return x[0];
}
```
It also improves the handling of address of operator, so it can now warn across some function calls, like this:
```cpp
int& f(int& a) {
return a;
}
int* hello() {
int x = 0;
return &f(x);
}
```
Even if `ptr` is a local variable, the object `ptr->item` might be not.
So taking address of `ptr->item` is definitely not unsafe in general.
This commit fixes false positives triggered by commit
1.85-249-gf42648fe2 on the following code of sssd:
https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/blob/d409df33/src/sbus/request/sbus_request.c#L359
This reworks constStatement to find more issues. It catches issue [8827](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8827):
```cpp
extern void foo(int,const char*,int);
void f(int value)
{
foo(42,"test",42),(value&42);
}
```
It also catches from issue [8451](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8451):
```cpp
void f1(int x) {
1;
(1);
(char)1;
((char)1);
!x;
(!x);
~x;
}
```
And also:
```cpp
void f(int x) {
x;
}
```
The other examples are not caught due to incomplete AST.
Add a call to simplifyPlatformTypes() in
SymbolDatabase::setValueTypeInTokenList() to simplify return types of
library configured functions. This fixes the FN in #8141. Regression
tests are added, both for the original issue and another FN in the comments.
In order to do that, move simplifyPlatformTypes() to TokenList from Tokenizer.
This is a pure refactoring and does not change any behaviour. The code was
literally copy-pasted from one file to another and in two places
'list.front()' was changed to 'front()'.
When adding the call to simplifyPlatformTypes(), the original type of
v.size() where v is a container is changed from 'size_t' to 'std::size_t'.
Tests are updated accordingly. It can be noted that if v is declared as
'class fred : public std::vector<int> {} v', the original type of 'v.size()'
is still 'size_t' and not 'std::size_t'.
* Fixed#8962 ("(debug) Unknown type 'T'" with template typename parameter)
Only simple one parameter template functions with one function parameter
are supported.
* Added TODO test case for FIXME.
* Fixed#8971 ("(debug) Unknown type 'x'." using alias in class members)
* template simplifier: partial fix for #8972
Add support for multi-token default template parameters.
* template simplifier: fix for #8971
Remove typename outside of templates.
Qt defines `Q_NULLPTR` with `nullptr` if it is available, otherwise with `NULL`.
Since there seems to be no (sane) way to configure it the same way in the library configuration it is just defined with `NULL`.
* Fixed#8960 ("(debug) Unknown type 'x'." with alias in template class alias)
This commit adds non-template type alias support to the template
simplifier. Only relatively simple type aliases are supported at this
time. More complex types will be added later.
--debug-warnings will show unsupported type aliases.
Type alias support will be removed from the symbol database in the
future. Type alias tests have been removed from the symbol database
tests.
* Add the changes.
* Fix codacy warning.
* Fix travis warnings.
* template simplifier: fix crash on windows
Use right token when searching for template type alias to delete.
* template simplifier: fix a cppcheck warning
* Remove newlines after check(
* Remove unneeded statements after if-statements
As an example, the previous test case
check(
"bool foo(int x) {\n"
" if (x < 0)"
" return true;\n"
" return false;\n"
"}");
is changed to
check("void foo(int x) {\n"
" if (x < 0) {}\n"
"}");
This has basic handling of GUI projects. But further work will be needed to handle addons etc, the plan is that we will be able to run addons from the command line soon.
The unsigned less than zero checker looked for patterns like "<= 0".
Switching to use valueflow improves the checker in a few aspects.
First, it removes false positives where instead of 0, the code is using
0L, 0U, etc. Instead of having to hard code the different variants of 0,
valueflow handles this automatically. This fixes FPs on the form
uint32_t value = 0xFUL;
void f() {
if (value < 0u)
{
value = 0u;
}
}
where 0u was previously not recognized by the checker. This fixes#8836.
Morover, it makes it possible to handle templates properly. In commit
fa076598ad, all warnings inside templates
were made inconclusive, since the checker had no idea if "0" came from
a template parameter or not.
This makes it possible to not warn for the following case which was
reported as a FP in #3233
template<int n> void foo(unsigned int x) {
if (x <= n);
}
foo<0>();
but give a warning for the following case
template<int n> void foo(unsigned int x) {
if (x <= 0);
}
Previously, both these cases gave inconclusive warnings.
Finally, it makes it possible to give warnings for the following code:
void f(unsigned x) {
int y = 0;
if (x <= y) {}
}
Also, previously, the checker for unsigned variables larger than 0, the
checker used the string of the astoperand. This meant that for code like
the following:
void f(unsigned x, unsigned y) {
if (x -y >= 0) {}
}
cppcheck would output
[unsigned-expression-positive.c] (style) Unsigned variable '-' can't be negative so it is unnecessary to test it.
using expressionString() instead gives a better error message
[unsigned-expression-positive.c] (style) Unsigned expression 'x-z' can't be negative so it is unnecessary to test it.
Use `--check-library` for all tests as it was done before.
Re-enable all tests in runtests.sh again.
The regressions where runtests.sh would fail are disabled via "FIXME"
comment in the inline suppression comment.
