Typically with
```
int F(int *f);
void F2(int *a, int *b) {
int c = *a;
F(a); // modifies *a
if (b && c != *a) {}
}
```
we would get the following FP:
```
[test.cpp:3] -> [test.cpp:5]: (style) The comparison 'c != *a' is always false because 'c' and '*a' represent the same value.\n
```
I guess it boils down to isSameExpression only checking that the
expression is the same (in the above case, "*a" and "*a" are indeed the
same), but there's not real check on the values.
So the patch here is a bit hackish, and we still have false negatives in
cases with dereferenced pointers.
* Refactor isNullOperand out of FwdAnalysis
* Improve isNullOperand
* Fix redundantAssignment FP with unsigned zero
* isNullValue check number
* Enhance isNullOperand to handle c++ casts
Also handle cast of NULL.
* Add cases for 9356
* 9356: Prevent false positive when passing non-const reference to member constructor
This workarounds false positives 'Parameter can be declared with const [constParameter]'
when said parameter is used in constructor call. It assume the
constructor call might change the parameter (without any checks.
The drawback is that we have false negative, in cases where we could
check the constructor actually takes a const reference, or a copied by
value parameter.
* Add todo comment in isVariableMutableInInitializer
Previously, cppcheck discarded the `extern "C"` specifier. This patch modifies cppcheck to parse each as a Scope in the symbol database, then uses that scope to avoid false positives when making recommendations about changing a function argument to be a reference (since variable references is a C++ feature, unavailable in C, and thus unavailable in `extern "C"`).
