Change the astStringVerbose() recursion to extend a string instead of
returning one. This has the benefit that for tokens where the recursion
runs deep (typically large arrays), the time savings can be substantial
(see comments on benchmarks further down).
The reason is that previously, for each token, the astString of its
operands was constructed, and then appended to this tokens astString.
This led to a lot of unnecessary string copying (and with that
allocations). Instead, by passing the string by reference, the number
of temporary strings is greatly reduced.
Another way of seeing it is that previously, the string was constructed
from end to beginning, but now it is constructed from the beginning to
end. There was no notable speedup by preallocating the entire string
using string::reserve() (at least not on Linux).
To benchmark, the changes and master were tested on Linux using the
commands:
make
time cppcheck --debug --verbose $file >/dev/null
i.e., the cppcheck binary was compiled with the settings in the
Makefile. Printing the output to screen or file will of course take
longer time.
In Trac ticket #8355 which triggered this change, an example file from the
Wine repository was attached. Running the above cppcheck on master took
24 minutes and with the changes in this commmit, took 22 seconds.
Another test made was on lib/tokenlist.cpp in the cppcheck repo, which is
more "normal" file. On that file there was no measurable time difference.
A synthetic benchmark was generated to illustrate the effects on dumping
the ast for arrays of different sizes. The generate code looked as
follows:
const int array[] = {...};
with different number of elements. The results are as follows (times are
in seconds):
N master optimized
10 0.1 0.1
100 0.1 0.1
1000 2.8 0.7
2000 19 1.8
3000 53 3.8
5000 350 10
10000 3215 38
As we can see, for small arrays, there is no time difference, but for
large arrays the time savings are substantial.
Before this fix, the code:
```
class A {
A(int, int x=3){
x;
}
};
```
Was considered OK.
But explicit keyword is still needed
I'm still new to open-source contributions, so I will gladly take advice.
This fixes simplifyUsing to remove 'typename' and 'template' from type
aliases of the form: using T3 = typename T1::template T3<T2>;
This lets the template simplifier instantiate the type alias which will
then remove the using type alias.
The crash will still happen if there is no instantiation because the
type alias will not be removed. The type alias is what cppcheck is
crashing on after the template simplifier and that still needs fixing.
* Fixed#8889 (varid on function when using trailing return type.)
Don't set varid for trailing return type.
* Add a test for #9066 (Tokenizer::setVarId: varid set for trailing return type)
* Handle 'arguments' sections in compile_commands.json
Previous code assumes 'commands' exists and ill assert if t does not.
* Correct typo checking for "arguments" rather than "commands"
* Use ostringstring rather than stringstream
* Add test deominstrating graceful degradation
* Add test for parsing "arguments" rather than "commands"
This is trying to fix the issue by fixing the ast and symbol database. First, the ast nodes will be created for the init list and the symbol database will not mark it as a scope. I am not sure if this is the correct approach as I dont really understand how the AST part works.
It did change the AST for `try {} catch (...) {}` but that is because it incorrectly treats `try {}` as an initializer list.
