* 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
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.
This will diagnose more issues such as:
```cpp
void f(std::vector<int> &v) {
auto v0 = v.begin();
v.push_back(123);
std::cout << *v0 << std::endl;
}
```
This switches to use lifetime analysis to check for assigning to non-local variables:
```cpp
class test
{
public:
void f()
{
int x;
this->ptr = &x;
}
protected:
int *ptr;
};
```
* Allow to configure realloc like functions
* memleakonrealloc: Bring back tests.
The old memleak checker was removed, and the tests for it was removed in
commit 9765a2dfab. This also removed the
tests for memleakOnRealloc. Bring back those tests, somewhat modified
since the checker no longer checks for memory leaks.
* Add realloc to mem leak check
* Add tests of realloc buffer size
* Configure realloc functions
* Add test of freopen
* Allow to configure which element is realloc argument
* Fix wrong close in test
cppcheck now warns for this
* Update manual
* Update docs
* Rename alloc/dalloc/realloc functions
Naming the member function realloc caused problems on appveyor. Rename
the alloc and dealloc functions as well for consistency.
* Change comparisson order
* Remove variable and use function call directly
* Create temporary variable to simplify
* Throw mismatchError on mismatching allocation/reallocation
* Refactor to separate function
* Fix potential nullptr dereference
As pointed out by cppcheck.
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.
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 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;
}
```
This fixes several FPs in the lifetime checker. It also fixes issue [8846](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8846):
```cpp
int * f(int a[])
{
return a;
}
```
* Use lifetime analysis for pointers as well
* Fix issue 1143: Pointer to local array
* Update message when using pointers
* Avoid infinite loop in tracing lifetimes
* Inital valueflow lifetime checker
* Forward values
* Add initial tests
* Fix deplicate messages
* Fix traversing nested lambdas
* Turn test case into a todo
* Skip if returning a container
* Fix FP when using references
* Add missing header
* Fix FP from broken scopes
* Fix FP with static variable
* Add test for more FPs
* Parse lambda functions
* Check for capture by value
* Add tests for using a container and lambda together
* Fix cppcheck errors
* Add test for nextAfterAstRightmostLeaf
* Add valueflow tests
* Update error message
* Check for correct lambda token
* Improve error path reporting
* Fix hang when parsing arrays that look almlost like lambdas
- 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
