|

guarantee of exception safety. It doesn't have any checks for the strong
|
||
guarantee yet.</p><p>Example:</p><pre class="programlisting">Fred::Fred() : a(new int[20]), b(new int[20])
|
||
{
|
||
}</pre><p>By default cppcheck will not detect any problems in that
|
||
code.</p><p>To enable the exception safety checking you can use
|
||
<code class="literal">--enable</code>:</p><pre class="programlisting">cppcheck --enable=exceptNew --enable=exceptRealloc fred.cpp</pre><p>The output will be:</p><pre class="programlisting">[fred.cpp:3]: (style) Upon exception there is memory leak: a</pre><p>If an exception occurs when <code class="literal">b</code> is allocated,
|
||
<code class="literal">a</code> will leak.</p><p>Here is another example:</p><pre class="programlisting">int *p;

|

int a(int sz)

{

delete [] p;
