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"`).

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.
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 reworks constStatement to find more issues. It catches issue [8827](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8827):
```cpp
extern void foo(int,const char*,int);
void f(int value)
{
foo(42,"test",42),(value&42);
}
```
It also catches from issue [8451](https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8451):
```cpp
void f1(int x) {
1;
(1);
(char)1;
((char)1);
!x;
(!x);
~x;
}
```
And also:
```cpp
void f(int x) {
x;
}
```
The other examples are not caught due to incomplete AST.
Add a call to simplifyPlatformTypes() in
SymbolDatabase::setValueTypeInTokenList() to simplify return types of
library configured functions. This fixes the FN in #8141. Regression
tests are added, both for the original issue and another FN in the comments.
In order to do that, move simplifyPlatformTypes() to TokenList from Tokenizer.
This is a pure refactoring and does not change any behaviour. The code was
literally copy-pasted from one file to another and in two places
'list.front()' was changed to 'front()'.
When adding the call to simplifyPlatformTypes(), the original type of
v.size() where v is a container is changed from 'size_t' to 'std::size_t'.
Tests are updated accordingly. It can be noted that if v is declared as
'class fred : public std::vector<int> {} v', the original type of 'v.size()'
is still 'size_t' and not 'std::size_t'.
* Remove newlines after check(
* Remove unneeded statements after if-statements
As an example, the previous test case
check(
"bool foo(int x) {\n"
" if (x < 0)"
" return true;\n"
" return false;\n"
"}");
is changed to
check("void foo(int x) {\n"
" if (x < 0) {}\n"
"}");
The unsigned less than zero checker looked for patterns like "<= 0".
Switching to use valueflow improves the checker in a few aspects.
First, it removes false positives where instead of 0, the code is using
0L, 0U, etc. Instead of having to hard code the different variants of 0,
valueflow handles this automatically. This fixes FPs on the form
uint32_t value = 0xFUL;
void f() {
if (value < 0u)
{
value = 0u;
}
}
where 0u was previously not recognized by the checker. This fixes#8836.
Morover, it makes it possible to handle templates properly. In commit
fa076598ad, all warnings inside templates
were made inconclusive, since the checker had no idea if "0" came from
a template parameter or not.
This makes it possible to not warn for the following case which was
reported as a FP in #3233
template<int n> void foo(unsigned int x) {
if (x <= n);
}
foo<0>();
but give a warning for the following case
template<int n> void foo(unsigned int x) {
if (x <= 0);
}
Previously, both these cases gave inconclusive warnings.
Finally, it makes it possible to give warnings for the following code:
void f(unsigned x) {
int y = 0;
if (x <= y) {}
}
Also, previously, the checker for unsigned variables larger than 0, the
checker used the string of the astoperand. This meant that for code like
the following:
void f(unsigned x, unsigned y) {
if (x -y >= 0) {}
}
cppcheck would output
[unsigned-expression-positive.c] (style) Unsigned variable '-' can't be negative so it is unnecessary to test it.
using expressionString() instead gives a better error message
[unsigned-expression-positive.c] (style) Unsigned expression 'x-z' can't be negative so it is unnecessary to test it.
* Add regression test for #6906
Ticket #6906 was fixed in f65cf220ba.
Add a test to make sure there are no regressions.
* Add regression test for #7284
Ticket #7284 was fixed in 5d1fdf7958.
Add tests to avoid regressions.
