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.
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;
}
```
In case the XML code of a library configuration is invalid Cppcheck now additionally prints out some helpful error description like this:
"Error=XML_ERROR_MISMATCHED_ELEMENT ErrorID=16 (0x10) Line number=304: XMLElement name=noreturn"
* out of line member functions are a namespace
* template<...> and *_cast<> can't be instantiations
* refactor code to use less function parameters
* fix instantiation scopes
* use full name with namespace when available
* fallback to just matching names when full name doesn't match
* fix for CMake compile_commands.json input - director does not include trailing / which makes include directories wrong - so add it if it doesnt exist
* fix the bugfix for trailing / in the directory name of CMAKE JSON file, add also new test case to see if it works in both cases (with and without trailing /)
* revert adding accidental new line
due to equal arguments...
* iterators1 (`CheckStl::iteratorsError(const Token*, const std::string&, const std::string&)`) and
* iterators2 (`CheckStl::iteratorsError(const Token*, const Token*, const std::string&, const std::string&)`)
... produced equal messages. Equal messages were filtered-out `CppCheck::reportErr(const ErrorLogger::ErrorMessage&)`.
So the error iterators2 disapeared from the error list.
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.

```
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.
