This fixes issues (at least false positives) in code using them.
For instance:
```
unsigned compute(unsigned long long a) {
unsigned num = 0;
while (a > 0xFFFFFFFF) {
a >>= 32;
num += 32;
}
if (a > 0xFFFF) {
a >>= 16;
num += 16;
}
if (a > 0xFF) {
num += 8;
}
return num;
}
```
would give false positive:
```
cppcheck --enable=style sl3.cpp
Checking sl3.cpp ...
sl3.cpp:11:11: style: Condition 'a>0xFF' is always false [knownConditionTrueFalse]
if (a > 0xFF) {
^
sl3.cpp:3:14: note: Assuming that condition 'a>0xFFFFFFFF' is not redundant
while (a > 0xFFFFFFFF) {
^
sl3.cpp:11:11: note: Condition 'a>0xFF' is always false
if (a > 0xFF) {
^
```
In some cases, the condition of the ternary operator is assigned a known
value after the two possible results, and in such cases, we would not
take the opportunity to assign a value to the ternary operator (and to
the other parents in the ast).
This patch adds this capability.
- Remove errorPath of a value on assignment (this fixes enormous memory consumption for code with many subsequent assignments)
- De-virtualized a simple get function that was virtual for no reason
- Cloned function isAliasOf() for single values to avoid instantiating unnecessary std::list objects (
- Replaced a couple of trivial Token::Match/simpleMatch expressions by direct comparison
- Treat enumerators as literal values
Comparing before and after (Ir per call) when scanning the Cppcheck source:
SingleValueFlowForwardAnalyzer.isAlias()
1246 -> 1101
MultiValueFlowForwardAnalyzer.isAlias()
4202 -> 1617
Ensure bifurcate() does not recurse endlessly where a variable is
initialized recursively, or a variable is initialized as x(0) or x{0}
followed by a recursive assignment (for example int x(0); x = x / 1;).
The first case is solved by bailing out if there initialization is done
using x(0) or x{0}, the second by adding a missing depth argument to a
recursive call.

* Set correct type and size of string and char literals
Use that string and char literal tokens store the prefix. This makes
it possible to distinghuish between different type of string literals
(i.e., utf8 encoded strings, utf16, wide strings, etc) which have
different type.
When the tokens holding the string and character values have the correct
type, it is possible to improve Token::getStrSize() to give the correct
result for all string types. Previously, it would return the number of
characters in the string, i.e., it would give the wrong size unless
the type of the string was char*.
Since strings now can have different size (in number of bytes) and
length (in number of elements), add a new helper function that returns
the number of characters. Checkers have been updated to use the correct
functions.
Having the size makes it possible to find more problems with prefixed
strings, and to reduce false positives, for example in the buffer
overflow checker.
Also, improve the stringLiteralWrite error message to also print the
prefix of the string (if there is one).

This will now warn when doing something like this:
```cpp
template <class T, class K, class V>
const V& get_default(const T& t, const K& k, const V& v) {
auto it = t.find(k);
if (it == t.end()) return v;
return it->second;
}
const int& bar(const std::unordered_map<int, int>& m, int k) {
auto x = 0;
return get_default(m, k, x);
}
```
The lifetime warning is considered inconclusive in this case.
I also updated valueflow to no tinject inconclusive values unless `--inconclusive` flag is passed. This creates some false negatives because library functions are not configured to not modify their input parameters, and there are some checks that do not check if the value is inconclusive or not.
This fixes the issue by making `ProgramMemory` keep track of values based on the conditions.
It also removes the `deadpointer` check since it duplicates the `invalidLifetime` check.
* Try harder to track ref lifetimes
* Dont add lifetimes for references
* Use correct token
* Check for front and back as well
* Improve handling of addresses
* Formatting
* Fix FP
This fixes the FP in cases like this:
```cpp
void f() {
bool b;
bool * x = &b;
if (x != nullptr)
x = 1;
}
```
It tracks the indirection of the uninit value in valueflow.
This will diagnose more issues such as:
```cpp
void f(std::vector<int> &v) {
auto v0 = v.begin();
v.push_back(123);
std::cout << *v0 << std::endl;
}
```
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;
};
```
* Allow to configure realloc like functions

The old memleak checker was removed, and the tests for it was removed in

since the checker no longer checks for memory leaks.
* Add realloc to mem leak check
* Add tests of realloc buffer size
* Configure realloc functions
* Add test of freopen
* Allow to configure which element is realloc argument
* Fix wrong close in test

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.
strdup() allocates the string length plus one for a terminating null
character. Add one to compensate for this.
Fixes false positive buffer out of bounds on code like this:
void f() {
const char *a = "abcd";
char * b = strdup(a);
printf("%c", b[4]); // prints the terminating null character
free(b);
}
Also, add a testcase for valueFlowDynamicBufferSize() and add tests for
strdup(), malloc() and calloc().
* Add non const version of some methods of Token
The aim is to reduce the (ab)use of const_cast.
* Cleanup some more const_cast in valueflow
* Remove useless const_cast
* Remove some const_cast from templatesimplifier
* Remove some const_cast from valueflow
With the following code
int f(int x, int y) {
if (!!(x != 0)) {
return y/x;
}
cppcheck would wrongly warn that there might be a division by zero in
"return y/x;".
* build: remove -Wabi and add -Wundef
gcc >= 8 throws a warning about -Wabi (without a specific ABI version)
being ignored, while -Wundef seems more useful (as shown by the change
in config.h, which was probably an unfortunate typo)
travis.yaml should probably be updated soon, but was left out from this
change as the current images don't yet need it
* lib: unused function in valueflow
refactored out since 8c03be3212
lib/valueflow.cpp:3124:21: warning: unused function 'endTemplateArgument' [-Wunused-function]
* readme: include picojson
* make: also clean exe
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.
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.
This uses the lifetime analysis to check when comparing pointer that point to different objects:
```cpp
int main(void)
{
int foo[10];
int bar[10];
int diff;
if(foo > bar) // Undefined Behavior
{
diff = 1;
}
return 0;
}
```
This will now warn for cases like this:
```cpp
auto& f() {
std::vector<int> x;
return x[0];
}
```
It also improves the handling of address of operator, so it can now warn across some function calls, like this:
```cpp
int& f(int& a) {
return a;
}
int* hello() {
int x = 0;
return &f(x);
}
```
This will use the lifetime checker for dangling references. It will find these cases for indirectly assigned reference:
```cpp
int &foo()
{
int s = 0;
int& x = s;
return x;
}
```
This will also fix issue 510 as well:
```cpp
int &f( int k )
{
static int &r = k;
return r;
}
```
This fixes valueflow to have a value for `||` operator here:
```cpp
bool f()
{
bool a = (4 == 3); // <-- 0
bool b = (3 == 3); // <-- 1
return a || b; // <-- 1
}
```
When comparing if the shift is large enough to make the result zero, use
an unsigned long long to make sure the result fits. Also, a check that
avoids setting the value if the shift is equal to or larger than the
number of bits in the operand (this is undefined behaviour). Finally,
add a check to make sure the calculated value is not too large to store.
Add test cases to cover this.
This was detected by an MSVC warning.
valueflow.cpp(1350): warning C4334: '<<' : result of 32-bit shift implicitly

* valueflow: remove unused variable known

since 48c960f56c showing:
lib/templatesimplifier.h:279:16: warning: private field 'mTokenizer' is not used

This fixes issue in:
```cpp
void f()
{
char stack[512];
RGNDATA *data;
if (data_size > sizeof (stack))
data = malloc (data_size);
else
data = (RGNDATA *)stack;
if ((char *)data != stack)
free (data); // <- data is not stack
}
```
It seems the `ProgramMemory` can't handle two known values(such as int and tok) together. So instead `ValueFlowAfterAssign` runs `ValueFlowForward` with tok values and then runs it with the other values.
This makes arrays non-null in valueflow, so it can catch comparisons against null that is always true:
```cpp
void f(void) {
int buf[42];
if( buf != 0) {;} // << always true
}
```
So this unifies the `valueFlowAfterCondition` so it re-uses more code between checking for integers and container sizes. This should make valueFlowContainer more robust.
It also extends valueflow to support container comparisons such as `if (v.size() < 3)` or `if (v.size() > 3)` using the same mechanism that is used for integers.
This fixes several FPs in the lifetime checker. It also fixes issue [8846](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8846):

int * f(int a[])
{
return a;
}
```
