- Check for sizeof(ptr)/something: This indicates that programmer was trying to calculate array size, but sizeof(ptr) doesn't return the length of the memory area, but size of a pointer.
- Check for sizeof()*sizeof(): This indicates that programmer misunderstood what sizeof() does: It does return the length in bytes of the given variable, not e.g. the number of elements in an array.
- New check (Inconclusive): Array filled incompletely with memset/memcpy/memmove
-- This check only warns if the number of elements is given as size in bytes to memset, memcpy or memmove and if the size of an element is larger than 1 Byte. It does not warn for random numbers
- New check: Detect ineffective statements like '*foo++;' (Should be: '(*foo)++;')
Sorry for the inconveniences.
This check only warns if the number of elements is given as size in bytes to memset, memcpy or memmove and if the size of an element is larger than 1 Byte. It does not warn for random numbers
- Added several types (std::) to isComplexType
- Types in namespace std:: are considered to have no side-effects (solved one TODO)
- Scope of a pointer can be limited without side effects
Refactorized usage of SymbolDatabase in checkOther:
- Don't copy Function instances in checkExpressionRange
- Simplifications by more accurate usage of information in database
- More accurate usage of symbolDatabase to reduce code and false negatives
- Avoided unnecessary construction of pattern string
- Only search for class/struct definition before usage
- Added support for pointers in self assignement check
- Removed redundant for loop in checknullpointer.cpp
- Fixed warning about signed/unsigned mismatch in cppcheck.cpp by making Settings::_maxConfig unsigned
- Print "inconclusive" tag in cli
- Fixed inconclusive handling in checkbufferoverrun.cpp
- Merged reportInconclusiveError into reportError by adding an additional parameter "bool inconclusive" which is false per default
- Added support for comparision of bool constant with number constant (-> fixed#1877) and integer variable with boolean expression
- Moved a check from checkComparisonOfBoolWithInt to checkComparisonOfBoolExpressionWithInt
- Generalized some patterns
- Made error message more accurate concnerning the "neither 0 nor 1" part.
- Reduced number of Token::Match calls
- Use more generic patterns
- Look on operator precedence more consequently
-> Made a TODO test case from a test case that worked previously, because the calculation is simplified so that the problem isn't detected any more.
Changed comment "Coding style checks" to "Checks", because it didn't fit
- Bailout on expanded macros for conclusive checking
- Support for more operators
- Removed indendation counter
Improved checkSignOfUnsignedVariable:
- Made the patterns more generic
- Improved verbose error message (-> Fixed#3080)
- Added a lot of additional pattern
- Rewrote error messages to make them more understandable and better fitting to the situation. (Fixed#3664)
- Cleanup in unit tests
Improved message of static string comparision check
Fixed false negative on argument count of fnprintf/snprintf when first variable argument is a string. (#3655)
Uncommented call of virtualDestructorError in getErrorMessages in checkclass.h
Refactorizations:
- Rearranged code in checkother.h to make ordering more consistent and to increase encapsulation of private data
- Replaced some single-token-patterns
Refactorizations in checkother.cpp:
- Make use of symboldabase instead of: indentation counters, manual detection of variable declarations
- Removed some indexing variables to reduce calls to tokAt and the numbers given to this function
- Use tok->nextArgument() to jump to a specific argument
Detect sign extension problems when variable is a reference (#3637)
Refactorizations:
- Tokenizer::getFiles returns a reference instead of a pointer, because its guaranteed that no nullpointer is returned
- Remove signed/unsigned in one step for "%type% signed|unsigned"
- Fixed recently introduced compiler warning in symboldatabase.cpp
-- Use MathLib::toLongNumber for conversion in tokenizer (Fix#3610)
-- Handle octal numbers in tokenizer
- Refactorizations in MathLib::toLongNumber and Settings
- Fixed false positive: throw outerCatchVar; in inner catch is now correctly handled
- Added eTry and eCatch to Scope::isLocal -> Scopes inside catch are now detected by symbol database
