Changelog for cppcheck-1.82-13.1.x86_64.rpm :
Sun Feb 18 13:00:00 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.

* Improved knowledge about C/C++ standard, windows, posix,
wxwidgets, gnu

* Better handling of Visual Studio projects
GUI:

used) when GUI is started

* Results view: Tag the warnings with custom keywords
(bug/todo/not important/etc..)

* Results view: Shows when warning first appeared (since date)

* Results view: Suppress warnings through right-click menu

* Statistics: Added charts (shown if Qt charts module is enabled
during build)

is enclosed in <>. You can now include these headers also by

set/get user id, too big value passed to usleep(), buffer
overflow when using write()
- Storing getc() return value in char variable and comparing
to EOF.

variadic function. It has undefined behaviour on some
implementations.

argument values.
