* 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
Keeping the prefix in the token allows cppcheck to print the correct
string and char literals in debug and error messages.
To achieve this, move some of the helper functions from token.cpp to
utils.h so that checks that look at string and char literals can reuse
them. This is a large part of this commit.
Note that the only user visible change is that when string and char
literals are printed in error messages, the prefix is now included.
For example:
int f() {
return test.substr( 0 , 4 ) == U"Hello" ? 0 : 1 ;
};
now prints U"Hello" instead of "Hello" in the error message.
* Overlapping sprintf, improve handling of casts
If there is a cast of the argument buffer, cppcheck would print out the
expression including the cast, which looks a bit strange to talk about
Variable (char*)buf is used as...
Instead, only print the variable name without the cast.
Also, handle arbitrary many casts (the previous code only handled one).
Multiple casts of the input arguments is probably an unusual case in
real code, but can perhaps occur if macros are used.
* Fix printing of variable
... and add a test.
* Simplify testcase
* teststring.cpp: Fix ternary syntax in tests
* stringLiteralWrite: Add tests wide character and utf16 strings
* suspiciousStringCompare: Add test with wide character string
* strPlusChar: Handle wide characters
* incorrectStringCompare: Add test with wide string
* Suspicious string compare: suggest wcscmp for wide strings
* deadStrcmp: Extend to handle wide strings
* sprintfOverlappingData: Print name of strcmp function
* Conversion of char literal to boolean, add wide character tests
* Conversion of char literal to boolean, fix ternary
