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.
When not between back ticks everything between angle brackets is
interpreted as HTML tags and not rendered.
Also fixed missing spaces after a sentence and in a code block.
* #4241: Check for address of single character passed as string
Add a check that address of a single character is not passed as argument
to argument marked as strings (using strz). The check does not warn if
the address of a character with known value '\0'.
Since ValueFlow currently does not handle global constants (see #7597),
do not warn if the variable is global to avoid FPs when the address of
a global variable assigned to '\0' is passed to a function expecting a
string.
Remove comment in docs saying strz is unused.
* Change asdf to Hello world
* Add test of address to first element in string
* Add error reporting function to getErrorMessages
* Fix strings in test
* Add tests for invalid ranges
* Refactor loadLibErrors
This reduces the amount of code slightly and will simplify adding
more tests.
* Handle empty valid field
Before this change, the sequence <valid></valid> in a config file would
result in a segmentation fault. Now an empty field results in the error
message:
cppcheck: Failed to load library configuration file 'mycfg.cfg'. Bad attribute value '""'
* Add support for valid for floating point arguments
Previously, it was not possible to add valid ranges to floating point
arguments since it only handled integers. This made ranges not work well
for floating point arguments since arguments were cast to integers
before the ranges were handled.
Fix this by using doubles instead of integers if the argument is a float.
Add some tests for this and make sure errors are printed with enough
precision (somewhat arbitrarily chosen).
Note that it is still only possible to add integer ranges (i.e. -1:1).
* Add support for floats in configuration valid range
Now that it is possible to handle decimal arguments, there is no reason
to not allow non-integer ranges. Take care to not allow broken
configurations.
* Move check to within if-clause
* Move asin{,f,l} and acos{,f,l} input checks to config file
Because the configuration for strncpy contained sizeof by error, the example was no longer correct.
Replaced with a reference to memccpy which uses sizeof.
