* cppcheck.cpp: Check for JSON error when parsing addon .json files
This fixes that errors in JSON files given via `--addon=*.json` are
silently ignored and maybe only a part of the JSON file is used.
Now the error message which picojson can return is checked and a
corresponding error message is returned again by getAddonInfo().
* naming.json: Fix missing comma
* CLI: Fix naming violations detected by addon naming.py via naming.json
* Addon naming: Add argument for validating names of constants
* LIB: Rename functions/variables so they are valid, loosen naming rules
* GUI: Fix naming violations
* Fix issue 9404: False positive: Either the condition 'if(x)' is redundant or there is possible null pointer dereference: a->x
* Use simpleMatch
* Add a test case for the FP
* Check if expression is changed
* Check for no return scope
* Use simpleMatch
* Set correct type and size of string and char literals
Use that string and char literal tokens store the prefix. This makes
it possible to distinghuish between different type of string literals
(i.e., utf8 encoded strings, utf16, wide strings, etc) which have
different type.
When the tokens holding the string and character values have the correct
type, it is possible to improve Token::getStrSize() to give the correct
result for all string types. Previously, it would return the number of
characters in the string, i.e., it would give the wrong size unless
the type of the string was char*.
Since strings now can have different size (in number of bytes) and
length (in number of elements), add a new helper function that returns
the number of characters. Checkers have been updated to use the correct
functions.
Having the size makes it possible to find more problems with prefixed
strings, and to reduce false positives, for example in the buffer
overflow checker.
Also, improve the stringLiteralWrite error message to also print the
prefix of the string (if there is one).
* Add comment and update string length
* Fix#9389 ("debug: Executable scope 'x' with unknown function." with "using namespace")
* use static rather than anonymous namespace for new functions
* Use lifetimes to check for returning reference to temporaries
* Check for dangling temporaries
* Check for unknown types for returining by reference
* Remove old returnTemporary check
* Format
* Check for deref op
* Ternary operator return an lvalue reference
* Warn when returning temporaries from member functions
* Improve handling of pointer to function
* Extend lifetimes of const references
* use range loops
* removed redundant string initializations
* use nullptr
* use proper boolean false
* removed unnecessary continue from end of loop
* removed unnecessary c_str() usage
* use emplace_back()
* removed redundant void arguments
This will now warn when doing something like this:
```cpp
template <class T, class K, class V>
const V& get_default(const T& t, const K& k, const V& v) {
auto it = t.find(k);
if (it == t.end()) return v;
return it->second;
}
const int& bar(const std::unordered_map<int, int>& m, int k) {
auto x = 0;
return get_default(m, k, x);
}
```
The lifetime warning is considered inconclusive in this case.
I also updated valueflow to no tinject inconclusive values unless `--inconclusive` flag is passed. This creates some false negatives because library functions are not configured to not modify their input parameters, and there are some checks that do not check if the value is inconclusive or not.
* make ellipsis ... a single token
Using cppcheck -E to preprocess code with ellipsis produces output that
can't be compiled because ... is split into 3 tokens.
* try to fix addon
* Update symbol database such that the override keyword implies that the function is also virtual
* Add test case for implicit override
* change isVirtual to hasVirtualSpecifier
* fix method documentation for getVirtualFunctionCalls and getFirstVirtualFunctionCallStack
* Fix isImplicitlyVirtual to consider the override keyword and document logic
* Fix getFirstVirtualFunctionCallStack and getVirtualFunctionCalls to use isImplicitlyVirtual instead of isVirtual so new test case passes
Building with enhanced clang warnings indicated a large number of
instances with the warning:
`warning: zero as null pointer constant`
Recommended practice in C++11 is to use `nullptr` as value for
a NULL or empty pointer value. All instances where this warning
was encountered were corrected in this commit.
Where warning was encountered in dependency code (i.e. external library)
no chnages were made. Patching will be offered upstream.
* Add non const version of some methods of Token
The aim is to reduce the (ab)use of const_cast.
* Cleanup some more const_cast in valueflow
* Remove useless const_cast
* Remove some const_cast from templatesimplifier
* Remove some const_cast from valueflow
This is trying to fix the issue by fixing the ast and symbol database. First, the ast nodes will be created for the init list and the symbol database will not mark it as a scope. I am not sure if this is the correct approach as I dont really understand how the AST part works.
It did change the AST for `try {} catch (...) {}` but that is because it incorrectly treats `try {}` as an initializer list.
This fixes issue 8996 by improving the alias checking by using lifetime analysis. It also extends the lifetime checker to handle constructors and initializer lists for containers and arrays.
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'.
This will use the lifetime checker for dangling references. It will find these cases for indirectly assigned reference:
```cpp
int &foo()
{
int s = 0;
int& x = s;
return x;
}
```
This will also fix issue 510 as well:
```cpp
int &f( int k )
{
static int &r = k;
return r;
}
```
isVariableDeclaration did not handle pointer to const pointer, or
pointer to volatile pointer. This resulted in FPs in examples like the
following:
class Fred {
public:
const char *const *data;
const char *const *getData() { return data; };
}
where cppcheck would say getData could be static, since it didn't
recognize const char *const *data as a variable declaration.
