Currently the information severity messages are outputted as error
messages with Severity::Information. This causes constant confusion
as people think it as mildest error severity (and rightfully so).
When it was meant to be for printing messages about the checking
procedure itself (like missing header files etc).
So I'm adding a new function for the ErrorLogger for printing these
informative messages. This makes clear the distinction of errors
found from the code and messages related to the checking itself.
It also makes it easier for clients to handle these separately.
Updated VS9 solution
New VS10 solution that builds cppcheck into a dll used by cli and testrunner.
Functional changes and advantages of new solution:
- Share code between testrunner and cli; ability to share code with gui as well (not yet implemented)
- Files of /lib are no longer compiled twice (should improve build time on single core machines)
- Added configuration for building with PCRE support
- Executables are build into /bin (/bin/debug in debug mode) folder (Should no longer require rebuild when switching between debug and release)
- Completely x64 compatible (contains also x64-debug configuration now)
- Implemented consistent behaviour of Variable::typeStartToken/typeEndToken: Skip const and static on all variables.
- Simplified patterns containing "static|" or "const|" when matching typeStartToken.
- Use const string references instead of const strings copies when possible
- Fixed cppcheck warning about postfix increment in CheckIO
- Use symbolDatabase to detect pointers in CheckOther::checkAssignBoolToPointer
Refactorized usage of SymbolDatabase in checkOther:
- Don't copy Function instances in checkExpressionRange
- Simplifications by more accurate usage of information in database
- More accurate usage of symbolDatabase to reduce code and false negatives
- Avoided unnecessary construction of pattern string
- Only search for class/struct definition before usage
- File I/O without positioning function call (#1742)
- Read/Write to a file that was opened for writing/reading (#463)
- Operations on closed file
Old fflushOnInputStream check is now part of the new check.
- Added support for pointers in self assignement check
- Removed redundant for loop in checknullpointer.cpp
- Fixed warning about signed/unsigned mismatch in cppcheck.cpp by making Settings::_maxConfig unsigned
- Moved complete evaluation of variables type into one function executed when the variable is constructed
- Moved SymbolDatabase::ArrayDimensions to Variable::ArrayDimensions
- Print "inconclusive" tag in cli
- Fixed inconclusive handling in checkbufferoverrun.cpp
- Merged reportInconclusiveError into reportError by adding an additional parameter "bool inconclusive" which is false per default
- Implemented constructor for ErrorLogger::ErrorMessage that takes a callstack of tokens -> replaced duplicate code in Check and Tokenizer
- Implemented strigify() for ErrorLogger::ErrorMessage::FileLocation to replace two identical implementations of it.
- Use symbolDatabase more often to increase performance and accuracy.
- Replaced indendation counter
- Replaced custom stringify implementation
Benchmark results (sqlite checking):
4% complete, 7% on "Memory leaks (function variables)", 9% on "Memory leaks (address not taken)" and 82% on "Memory leaks (struct members)"
- Skip struct keywords in argument list so that Variables declared like "Struct Foo bar" get a type
- Remvoved redundant argument from Function::addArguments
- Set Function::functionScope for global functions
- Replaced some indendation counters by Token::findClosingBracket
- removed unused function CheckOther::concatNames
- Replaced one indendation counter by Token::link() in checkother.cpp
- Forward declaration of Settings in threadexecutor.h
- Replace _isNumber, _isName, _isBoolean attributes by a single _type attribute (enum Token::Type), because not two of the old booleans could be true at the same time.
-> Add support for lots of different other kinds of tokens. (More precise checking of token type possible)
-> Replaced instant checking of type for Operators, etc. by a value calculated at creation time. (Faster checking)
- Pass a tokenizer to templatesimplifier to reduce code duplication (Make use of Tokenizer::reportError; remove redundant TemplateSimplifier::addtoken2) and amount of arguments passed to functions
Removed ctor and dtor implementation from TemplateSimplifier: This class shouldn't be instanciated.
- Bailout for functions that are not implemented (should fix performance downgrade introduced in fb4709f)
- Jump behind arguments
- Removed unnecessary pop_back operations - container gets destroyed after it.
- Removed local isVirtual implementation in checkclass.cpp, use Function::isImplicitlyVirtual instead
- Don't bailout when we see C++-style casts in checkConst
- Don't bailout for this pattern "any << member << any"
- Improved/Fixed some test cases (-> #1305)
- Replaced Scope::access by a locally stored std::map, because its a temporary status variable that is only necessary when creating the symboldatabase
- Moved SymbolDatabase::argsMatch to Function::argsMatch, because its function specific
- Improved Scope::findClosingBracket: Improved reliability, made it static and faster
- Function that stringifies one token: Token::stringify()
- Functions that stringify a list of tokens: Token::stringifyList()
-- Single and powerful "base" function, used by several "light" functions
Refactorized
- testtokenize.cpp and testsimplifytokens.cpp: Use improved stringification functions instead of several local implementations
- Avoided redundand creation of std::string when using TestTokenizer::tokenizeAndStringify and in cmdlineparser.cpp
- Added support for < and > in nextArgument()
- Made isStandardType inline by writing its implementation to token.h (like other bool is*() functions)
- Made firstWordEquals return bool instead of integer (only 0 and 1 were returned)
- Use std::string::empty() instead of operator==(""); Use character literals instead of string literals for single characters printed.
- Removed a few indendation counters
- Removed unnecessary pattern "- >" because this code is simplified to "." before.
- Generalized pattern of simplifyFunctionReturn()
- Simplified removeExeptionSpecification, no longer recursive (-> #3385)
- Added forgotten initialization of Settings::_relativePaths
- Some PCRE-Rules specific code hidden behind HAVE_RULES
- Use initialization list in ErrorLogger::ErrorMessage::ErrorMessage() and CppCheck::CppCheck
- Avoided unnecessary copies of std::strings in cppcheck.cpp
- Moved "// Alert only about unique errors"-code to make it work in debugFalsePositive mode
- Generalized CheckClass::noMemset:
-- Checking for all three mem...-functions for all patterns, generalized them so that we need less patterns
-- Use nextArgument() to jump over irrelevant arguments
- Replaced CheckClass::hasDeallocation by CheckClass::hasAllocation:
-- Reduced number of false negatives by returning also true whenever a member variable is allocated (also without previous deallocation)
-- Reduced code duplication
- Removed indendation counter and redundant variable in CheckClass::initializeVarList
gcc warning:
lib/checkclass.cpp: In member function ‘void CheckClass::checkConst()’:
lib/checkclass.cpp:1197: warning: declaration of ‘name’ shadows a member of 'this'
Rename local variable 'name' to 's'.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>
- Generalized check for inefficient emptiness check to detect !%var%.size() calls also outside of if and while; detect it also for %var%.size() when linked with && or ||.
Refactorizations in CheckStl:
- Removed an indendation counter and an offset variable
- Reduced distance given to tokAt calls in CheckStl::redundantCondition
- Rearranged code in CheckStl::missingComparison to use more efficient comparision of varIds instead of variable names. Use varId in pattern instead of variable name.
- Improved message of stlIfStrFind according to discussion on github (77d9ed1877)
- Generalized pattern for substr in CheckStl::uselessCalls; added check for substr calls like ".substr(%any%,0)" which result in an empty string.
- Added support for comparision of bool constant with number constant (-> fixed#1877) and integer variable with boolean expression
- Moved a check from checkComparisonOfBoolWithInt to checkComparisonOfBoolExpressionWithInt
- Generalized some patterns
- Made error message more accurate concnerning the "neither 0 nor 1" part.
- Reduced number of Token::Match calls
- Use more generic patterns
- Look on operator precedence more consequently
-> Made a TODO test case from a test case that worked previously, because the calculation is simplified so that the problem isn't detected any more.
Changed comment "Coding style checks" to "Checks", because it didn't fit
- Increased encapsulation by making some functions private
- Removed redundant function CheckBufferOverrun::ArrayInfo::declare
- Avoided copy of ArrayInfo object

- Support for more operators
- Removed indendation counter
Improved checkSignOfUnsignedVariable:
- Made the patterns more generic
- Improved verbose error message (-> Fixed#3080)
Implemented support for linkage between < and > (Information: It is possible that under certain circumstances comparision operators are linked, since its sometimes difficult to separate between them.)
Improvements to CheckUnusedVar:
- Improved handling of arrays of struct/class instances
- Differ between addressof and bitwise-and operator
- Made some members private to improve encapsulation
- Replaced some simple patterns by direct function calls
- Removed an unnecessary condition
- Replaced a few indendation counters by smaller and faster code

- Cleanup in unit tests
Improved message of static string comparision check
Refactorizations:
- Replaced another single-token-pattern
- Replaced a "continue" with a "break" statement, because its safe to assume that only one variable with a specific ID can exist in a scope
Fixed false negative on argument count of fnprintf/snprintf when first variable argument is a string. (#3655)
Uncommented call of virtualDestructorError in getErrorMessages in checkclass.h
Refactorizations:
