Changelog for cppcheck-1.86-24.3.i586.rpm :

* Thu Jan 03 2019 Nemanja V - Workaround for CMake lacking a CFGDIR variable.
* Patch was submitted (https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/pull/1554) and accepted so this change should be reverted and replaced with a CMake compile definition - DCFGDIR=\\\"%{_datadir}/%{name}\\\" once a new upstream version is released.
* Thu Dec 27 2018 Martin Pluskal - Small packaging enhancements
* Thu Dec 20 2018 Christoph G - Use Python 3 instad of Python 2- Switch to CMake as the used build system, otherwise Python 3 could not be detected by plain make
* Wed Dec 19 2018 Christoph G - Update to 1.86
* Many fixes in the template simplifier
* Several fixes in the abstract syntax tree. Checking improvements:
* New check: passing address of char to function that expects a strz
* New check: shadow variables
* Improved lifetime checking
* Improved STL iterators checking
* Improved data flow analysis New libraries:
* zlib
* googletest Addons:
* misra.py: Fixes for suppressions and exclusions
* namingng.py: New addon to check naming conventions. Rules are specified in json file.
* Thu Oct 18 2018 mvetterAATTsuse.com- Update to 1.85: Changes from 1.83: Command line: - fixes in parser - Improved loading of platform files. GUI: - few minor improvements in user interface - Code preview - Added MISRA addon integration - Platform can be selected in project settings - Fixed issue when loading xml results file Addons: - We are now officially releasing our MISRA addon. So far it supports MISRA C 2012. Changes from 1.85: General: - We are modernizing the Cppcheck code. Support for MSVC 2010 and GCC 4.4 is dropped. You now need a compiler that is at least as good as MSVC 2013 or GCC 4.6. Checking improvements: - New check: Suggest STL algorithms instead of hard-coded for loops - New check: Warn about ineffective algorithms (same iterator passed) - New check: Mismatching iterators used together in operators - Container (STL/Qt/WxWidgets/etc) access out of bounds - Improved the checkers that warns about same/opposite expressions, track variable values better. - Variable scope: warn about references also Graphical user interface: - You can specify undefines in the project file dialog - Fixed configuration of suppressions - Windows: Fixed issue of wrong/no theme being applied to UI elements Misra: - support per file excludes from cppcheck - support per file suppressions from cppcheck - summary will now summarize results for all files again - a few false positives were fixed
* Sun Feb 18 2018 aloisioAATTgmx.com- Update to version 1.82 Bug fixes:
* Better handling of namespaces
* Fixed false positives
* Fixed parsing of compile databases
* Fixed parsing of visual studio projects Enhancements
* New check; Detect mistakes when there are multiple strcmp() in condition Example: if (strcmp(password,\"A\")==0 || strcmp(password,\"B\")==0 || strcmp(password,\"C\")) There is a missing \'==0\', and therefore this condition is always true except when password is \"C\".
* New check; pointer calculation result can\'t be NULL unless there is overflow Example: someType
*
*list_p = ...; if ((list_p + 1) == NULL) The result for \'(list_p + 1)\' can\'t be NULL unless there is overflow (UB).
* New check; public interface of classes should be safe - detect possible division by zero Example: class Fred { public: void setValue(int mul, int div) { value = mul / div; // <- unsafe } ... This check does not consider how Fred::setValue() is really called. If you agree that the public interface of classes should always be safe; it should be allowed to call all public methods with arbitrary arguments, then this checker will be useful.
* Fixed a few false negatives
* More information in the cfg files version 1.81 CPPCHECK:
* New warning: Check if condition after an early return is overlapping and therefore always false.
