Sources were built with Clang but with increased verbosity of error detection.
A number of syntax and semantic warnings were encountered. Commit adds
changes to correct these warnings.
Some changes involve removing extra, and unncessary, semi-colons at EOL
(e.g. at end of switch clause).
Project astyle settings are not currently setup to detect if a file is to
have an extra carriage return after the last line of data. Two files were
altered to ensure an extra carriage return.
An advisory to enhance code was encountered in triage code. Clang advisory
on a for-loop interation value suggested that:
`use reference type 'const QString &' to prevent copying`
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.
Increasing the verbosity in Clang, warnings were produced that identified
differences in code and doxygen-formatted comments.
Corrections applied to silence warnings yet still convey intent of original comments.
* Added scopeinfo member to token class
Moved ScopeInfo2 declaration here as well because that's where it needs to be now.
* Added scopeinfo accessors and declaration to class
* Add new method for calculating scopes
This replaces the methods in the TemplateSimplifier which calculate the current scope as the token list is iterated. The old method required checking if the scope had changed for every token multiple times (for multiple iterations), which was surprisingly costly. Calculating scopes in advance like this decreases runtime on a worst-case file by around thirty percent.
ScopeInfo objects are disposed of when the TemplateSimplification is done as they are not used later.
* Add calculateScopes method to header
* Removed code that calculated current scope
This has been replaced by code that calculates the scopes up front and stores them with each token, which is much faster.
* Fixed compile errors from extra parentheses
* Added missing code to fix memory leak
* Added code to actually clean up ScopeInfo structs
* Tidy up a dodgy for loop
* Convert argument to const ref
* Calculate missing scopes
As the templatesimplificator expands templates and does multiple passes it needs to make sure all scopes are calculated.
* Remove copying the scope to the next token
This is now done properly when scopes are calculated.
* Remove call to calculateScopes
This is now done by the TemplateSimplifier.
* Recalculate scopes for every pass of simplifyTemplates
* Add code to calculate extra scopes as they are added
I thought that this might be useful for calculating scopes when Tokens are created, but as there are several ways of creating Tokens that don't guarantee that they are placed in a list it is easier to just calculate scopes when you know you have a list and when you know you're adding to a list.
* Fix several bugs and poorly designed code
Remove the global scopes collection, and clean them up instead by iterating through the tokenlist to find them. This means scopes can be calculated by functions in the Token class as well as in the Tokenizer class without leaking the scope object.
Fix a couple of bugs in the calculateScopes method and make it more efficient.
* Remove unnecessary calls to calculateScopes
* Move brace to correct position
Calculating scopes during insertToken only needs to happen if we created a new Token.
* Handle 'using namespace' declarations separately
This fixes a bug caused by a statement matching 'struct B < 0 > ;'
* Fix argument name mismatch
* Actually use newScopeInfo when inserting Token
* Switch to using shared_ptr to hold scopeInfos
This means ScopeInfo2 objects get properly cleaned up when they are no longer needed.
* Change ScopeInfo member to be a shared_ptr
* Update code to use shared_ptr
* Add missing include for shared_ptr
* Remove unnecessary cleanup code
This has been replaced by shared_ptr for ScopeInfo2 objects
* fix adding instantiation of first argument to an instantiation
* add support for function pointer template variables
* fix more cases where templates ending in ">>" are changed to end in "> >"
* fix travis build
* standard types can't be a template parameter name
* remove redundant level == 0 checks
* fix lambda in template variable
* fix a test
* lib: isNonBoolStdType no longer needed
lib/checkbool.cpp:50:13: warning: unused function 'isNonBoolStdType'
[-Wunused-function]
static bool isNonBoolStdType(const Variable* var)
* cmake: C++11 is required
also change instructions to a more common syntax
This reverts commit 2a4be5ae1c.
When I look at daca@home now there are still lots of false negatives. So this bailout did not cause as much false negatives as I thought.
strdup() allocates the string length plus one for a terminating null
character. Add one to compensate for this.
Fixes false positive buffer out of bounds on code like this:
void f() {
const char *a = "abcd";
char * b = strdup(a);
printf("%c", b[4]); // prints the terminating null character
free(b);
}
Also, add a testcase for valueFlowDynamicBufferSize() and add tests for
strdup(), malloc() and calloc().
* 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
* template simplifier: add 2 new template parameter simplifications
int{} -> 0
decltype(int{}) -> int
This fixes reduced test cases like #9153. I'm not sure they will help
real world code that much.
It was necessary to increase the pass count to 4 to get #9153 completly
simplified.
* relax decltype(type{}) simplification to any type
* Add cmd parameter for choosing between C90 and C99
Misra specifies different requirements to the uniqueness of
macros/enums/variables depending on what C standard
that's being used.
* Add standards configuration to each dump file
Read standards config from misra addon to decide what rules to use.
* Posix as standard setting should be deprecated. Don't include this in the xml
* Rewritten to use a switch
Refactored simplifyTemplateAliases to iterate over template type aliases
rather than instantiations. This fixed template type aliases that were
not templates.
Don't instantiate templates in template type aliases. They will get
instantiated once the type alias is instantiated. This required
increasing the template simplifier pass count to 3 so one of the
existing tests continued to work.
Specialized member classes declared outsize the class were not
recognized. This caused the the member class to be instantiated rather
than the specialized class. We already had a test for this but it was
wrong so it went unnoticed.
With the following code
int f(int x, int y) {
if (!!(x != 0)) {
return y/x;
}
cppcheck would wrongly warn that there might be a division by zero in
"return y/x;".
This improves the performance of the templatesimplefier by caching the template name position. I am not sure if the works entirely correctly but all the tests do pass with this change. Running this with gtest headers without removing unused template headers the time went from 48s to 5s, almost a 10x improvement.
* template simplifier: fix instantiation of variadic template with no arguments
* fix white space change
* add support for <class...>
* add variadic template flag
* Fix issue 8890: AST broken calling member function from templated base class
* Format
* Check for double bracket
* Add test to createLinks2
* Remove extra test
* Reduce test case for links
* build: remove -Wabi and add -Wundef
gcc >= 8 throws a warning about -Wabi (without a specific ABI version)
being ignored, while -Wundef seems more useful (as shown by the change
in config.h, which was probably an unfortunate typo)
travis.yaml should probably be updated soon, but was left out from this
change as the current images don't yet need it
* lib: unused function in valueflow
refactored out since 8c03be3212
lib/valueflow.cpp:3124:21: warning: unused function 'endTemplateArgument' [-Wunused-function]
* readme: include picojson
* make: also clean exe
This will warn for cases where searching in an associative container happens before insertion, like this:
```cpp
void f1(std::set<unsigned>& s, unsigned x) {
if (s.find(x) == s.end()) {
s.insert(x);
}
}
void f2(std::map<unsigned, unsigned>& m, unsigned x) {
if (m.find(x) == m.end()) {
m.emplace(x, 1);
} else {
m[x] = 1;
}
}
```
In the case of the map it could be written as `m[x] = 1` as it will create the key if it doesnt exist, so the extra search is not necessary.
I have this marked as `performance` as it is mostly concerning performance, but there could be a copy-paste error possibly, although I dont think thats common.
A common pattern is to have a function like similar to this:
bool isFlagSet(uint32_t f) {
return f & 0x4;
}
Warning that the function returns a non-boolean in this case is too
noisy, it would be better suited for a Misra check, so remove the
warnings in the most obvious cases.
Change the astStringVerbose() recursion to extend a string instead of
returning one. This has the benefit that for tokens where the recursion
runs deep (typically large arrays), the time savings can be substantial
(see comments on benchmarks further down).
The reason is that previously, for each token, the astString of its
operands was constructed, and then appended to this tokens astString.
This led to a lot of unnecessary string copying (and with that
allocations). Instead, by passing the string by reference, the number
of temporary strings is greatly reduced.
Another way of seeing it is that previously, the string was constructed
from end to beginning, but now it is constructed from the beginning to
end. There was no notable speedup by preallocating the entire string
using string::reserve() (at least not on Linux).
To benchmark, the changes and master were tested on Linux using the
commands:
make
time cppcheck --debug --verbose $file >/dev/null
i.e., the cppcheck binary was compiled with the settings in the
Makefile. Printing the output to screen or file will of course take
longer time.
In Trac ticket #8355 which triggered this change, an example file from the
Wine repository was attached. Running the above cppcheck on master took
24 minutes and with the changes in this commmit, took 22 seconds.
Another test made was on lib/tokenlist.cpp in the cppcheck repo, which is
more "normal" file. On that file there was no measurable time difference.
A synthetic benchmark was generated to illustrate the effects on dumping
the ast for arrays of different sizes. The generate code looked as
follows:
const int array[] = {...};
with different number of elements. The results are as follows (times are
in seconds):
N master optimized
10 0.1 0.1
100 0.1 0.1
1000 2.8 0.7
2000 19 1.8
3000 53 3.8
5000 350 10
10000 3215 38
As we can see, for small arrays, there is no time difference, but for
large arrays the time savings are substantial.
