Keeping the prefix in the token allows cppcheck to print the correct
string and char literals in debug and error messages.
To achieve this, move some of the helper functions from token.cpp to
utils.h so that checks that look at string and char literals can reuse
them. This is a large part of this commit.
Note that the only user visible change is that when string and char
literals are printed in error messages, the prefix is now included.
For example:
int f() {
return test.substr( 0 , 4 ) == U"Hello" ? 0 : 1 ;
};
now prints U"Hello" instead of "Hello" in the error message.
I fixed the AST enough to pass testrunner but I don't believe it is
correct.
This code:
void Foo4(int&&b);
has this AST:
( 'void'
|-Foo4
`-&& 'bool'
|-int
`-b 'signed int'
but I don't believe && should have `bool`.
* use range loops
* removed redundant string initializations
* use nullptr
* use proper boolean false
* removed unnecessary continue from end of loop
* removed unnecessary c_str() usage
* use emplace_back()
* removed redundant void arguments
* make ellipsis ... a single token
Using cppcheck -E to preprocess code with ellipsis produces output that
can't be compiled because ... is split into 3 tokens.
* try to fix addon
* Fix adding unescaped slash token when splitting gcc case range.
Construction like case '!'...'~' converted to a list of separate case
tokens. When slas '\' symbol appears as a part of this list it was added
"as is", but it should be escaped like '\\' to be valid c++ code.
* Add test for switch-case range with slash
Building with enhanced clang warnings indicated a large number of
instances with the warning:
`warning: zero as null pointer constant`
Recommended practice in C++11 is to use `nullptr` as value for
a NULL or empty pointer value. All instances where this warning
was encountered were corrected in this commit.
Where warning was encountered in dependency code (i.e. external library)
no chnages were made. Patching will be offered upstream.
Refactored simplifyTemplateAliases to iterate over template type aliases
rather than instantiations. This fixed template type aliases that were
not templates.
Don't instantiate templates in template type aliases. They will get
instantiated once the type alias is instantiated. This required
increasing the template simplifier pass count to 3 so one of the
existing tests continued to work.
* Fix issue 8890: AST broken calling member function from templated base class
* Format
* Check for double bracket
* Add test to createLinks2
* Remove extra test
* Reduce test case for links
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.
