As suggested by rikardfalkeborn here:
https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/pull/1679#issuecomment-465927692
By compiling python scripts the syntax can be checked.
There are two compilations, one for Python 2 and one for Python 3 for
most scripts to make sure at least the syntax is valid for both
versions.
Now also found:
- Includes directly at the beginning of a file
- Indented includes
- Includes where there is no white-space between
"include" and header name
This uses the lifetime analysis to check when comparing pointer that point to different objects:
```cpp
int main(void)
{
int foo[10];
int bar[10];
int diff;
if(foo > bar) // Undefined Behavior
{
diff = 1;
}
return 0;
}
```
This fixes https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8985 at least for the
function configuration.
Errors in configuration files found by the new relaxng file are fixed.
The function libcerror_error_set() is currently the function for which
daca@home most often reports a missing configuration (more than 80000
times).
Official repository of libcerror: https://github.com/libyal/libcerror
The library configuration has been tested with the library libvhdi:
ftp://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvhdi/libvhdi_20181227.orig.tar.gz
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);
}
```
This detects more includes / headers. For example includes like
"# include <gtk/gtk.h>" with a space before "include" as it is used in
the package http://cppcheck.osuosl.org:8000/gbatnav are now also
detected.
The regex search also searches all includes for one library in one go
instead of one include per loop.
Tested with several packages to make sure libraries that were detected
before are still detected.
If "head" and "OLD_VERSION" both crash there are no messages and the
variable `results_exist" is set to False. But still the results must be uploaded
for the crashes to be saved also.
Tested with the package http://cppcheck.osuosl.org:8000/double-conversion
