This switches to use lifetime analysis to check for assigning to non-local variables:
```cpp
class test
{
public:
void f()
{
int x;
this->ptr = &x;
}
protected:
int *ptr;
};
```
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.
This limits the recursion depth as a last line of defense to avoid stack
overflows when there are really huge arrays.
See https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8922
This fixes issue 8996 by improving the alias checking by using lifetime analysis. It also extends the lifetime checker to handle constructors and initializer lists for containers and arrays.
* std.cfg: Add further argument directions (in, out, inout).
* testlibrary.cpp: Add test for function argument direction configuration.
* std.cfg: runastyle and add some more direction configurations.
* library.h: Add documentation for function argument direction enum.
* Do not use "direction" library information for pointer arguments.
Also fix further unmatched uninitvar messages in std configuration
tests.
* std.cfg: Add more argument direction configurations.
* test/cfg/std.c: Add test for argument direction configuration.
* astutils.cpp: Only ignore pointer arguments for out/inout arguments.
* library.h: Use suggested documentation for argument direction enum.
This enhances the library configuration so the direction of function
arguments can be specified (in, out, inout).
isVariableChangedByFunctionCall() uses this information now to avoid
guessing.
Add a check for function arguments that can be constant:
```cpp
extern void bar(int);
void f(int x) {
bar((x & 0x01) >> 7); // function 'bar' is always called with a '0'-argument
}
```
This fixes several FPs in the lifetime checker. It also fixes issue [8846](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8846):
```cpp
int * f(int a[])
{
return a;
}
```
