1 Introduction

Version 9.4.1 of QA·C is a patch release. This document provides information on the feature additions and fixes made in the re- lease.

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 1 Programming Research Ltd.

2 QA·C Changes Overview

2.1 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.4.1

2.1.1 Support for C99 Hexadecimal Floating Point

ISO:C99 allows that floating constants can be expressed in hexadecimal representation in addition to decimal representation. In line with this, QA·C is now able to parse the syntax of floating point constants. QA·C also generates a new C99 language extension message (1076) to report the use of hexadecimal floating point constants, for example: /*PRQA S 1076 ++*/ double val = 0x1.1p4; /* Hexadecimal floating constant */

2.1.2 Enhanced Analysis of Missing Const

The QA·C 9.4.1 type system has been reworked to allow for better analysis of missing const, specifically through the analysis of pointer to types. Specifically, QA·C is now able to identify pointers/pointer variables which exist in block scope and point to non-const- qualified types, but which could instead point to const-qualified types. QA·C also generates new messages (3678, 3679 and 3695) to indicate when a local or static pointer variable could be declared with increased const-qualification, for example: /*PRQA S 0-9999 ++*/ /*PRQA S 3678 --*/ void foo (int * x) { int * y; /* No message */ int * z; /* Message 3678 - could be 'int const *' */ int * w; /* Message 3678 - could be 'int const *' */ y = x; z = y; w = z; * y = '\0'; } void take_ip (int * p); void take_icp (int * cp); void take_ipp (int ** pp);

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 2 Programming Research Ltd.

void bar (int * x) { int * s = x; /* No message */ int * t = x; /* Message 3678 - could be 'int const *' */ int * u = x; /* No message */ take_ip (s); take_icp (t); take_ipp (&u); } void baz (int i) { int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; /* Message 3678 - could be 'int const [5]' */ return arr[i]; } Note: There are known false positive instances of 3678, 3679 and 3695, where typedefs are used to build derived types. For example: typedef int Num;

void incorrect (Num x) { Num a[5] = { x }; // false positive 3678 Num * p = a; p[1] = 6; }

2.2 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.4.0

2.2.1 Analysis of Commented Out Code

QA·C 9.4.0 provides the analysis of commented out code, for both line and block com- ments, by tokenizing comments and using a triplet-based algorithm (described in the message help) to compare the comments against a table of "common code sequences" gathered from real-world, standard-compliant projects. While TU (Translation Unit) code is being parsed, this table is dynamically updated with the sequences of tokens found in the code, and the token statistics for the project currently being parsed are updated accordingly. The configuration option -po comment::dynamic_statistics allows you to control this update behavior. The option is enabled by default, being set to -po comment::dynamic_statistics+.

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 3 Programming Research Ltd.

If you wish to disable the behavior, for example because you wish to ensure that the same table of "common code sequences" is used for every single TU, then simply set the option to -po comment::dynamic_statistics-.

2.2.2 Other Changes in QA·C 9.4.0

There is improved signal to noise ratio in the analysis of resources. In addition, QA·C 9.4.0 addresses several critical failures.

2.3 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.3.0

2.3.1 MISRA C 2012 Improvements

This release includes many improvements to the coverage of MISRA C 2012, specifically relating to depth of analysis. Detailed information relating to messages added, removed and changed can be found in the QA·C Messages section.

2.3.2 Configuration Changes

2.3.3 End of line continuation character

QA·C formerly treated \new-line as a continuation character. However, this behavior could have resulted in configuration problems that were hard to identify. For example, the following configuration file: -i C:\project\include\include1 -i C:\project\include\include2\ -d macro would have been processed as: -i C:\project\include\include1 -i C:\project\include\include2\-d macro which meant that QA·C would have treated macro as a source file to analyze. Therefore, QA·C no longer recognizes \new-line as a continuation character. As a result, the example above would now be parsed as two separate -i options and a single -d option.

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 4 Programming Research Ltd.

2.4 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.2.0

2.4.1 Full Support for Designated Initializers

The handling of initializers by QA·C has been fully updated allowing for full and correct support for aggregate initializers including their inclusion during dataflow analysis. struct A { int i; int j; int k; };

void foo (void) { int j = 0;

struct A a = { 1 /* 1575 */ , 2 /* 1586 */ , 3 /* 1586 */ , .j=j /* 1398 1575 */ , 0 /* 1398 1398 */ };

1 / a.i; /* OK */ 1 / a.j; /* 2831 */ 1 / a.k; /* 2831 */ } The above example shows several improvements compared to the previous release of QA·C: • The correct value used in the initialization is fully modeled by dataflow, including a sub-message that points to the expression initializing the member. • The location of an overwritten initializer is highlighted by a sub-message as part of the primary message.

2.4.1.1 Designated array members resulting in out of bounds

A non designated initializer appearing after a designated initializer may result in an at- tempt to initialize past the end of the array. Previous versions of QA·C did not detect

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 5 Programming Research Ltd.

this: void foo (void) { char a[4] = { [3]=1, 2 }; /* 0684 */ }

2.4.1.2 Overwritten initializers

Using designators can result in an earlier initializer being overwritten by a subsequent one. QA·C now includes a sub-message that highlights the overwritten initializer. void foo (void) { char a[4] = { 1 , 2 /* 1586*/ , 3 , [1]=2 /* 1397 */ }; }

2.4.1.3 Diagnostic Locations in Initializers

All of the above changes were made possible by separating the parsing of initializers from the mapping to the type of the declaration. An additional benefit is that locations for diagnostics issued against initializers now refer directly to the initializer and not the token after. void foo (void) { char a[2] = { 1 /* 1292 -- New Location */ , '0' /* 1292 -- Old Location */ }; } We have undertaken to provide as accurate a list as possible for the messages that have had their locations changed. However, given the large number diagnostics that are pos- sible for an initialization it is possible that some messages are not listed. However, it is expected that the majority of differences for most code will come down to a column change. See the QA·C 9.3.0 Modified Messages and QA·C 9.3.0 Ticket Summary for more infor- mation.

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 6 Programming Research Ltd.

2.4.2 Dataflow

2.4.2.1 Header Function Analysis

The syntax for the -po df::analyse_header_functions option has been changed to en- able greater control over Dataflow analysis of functions defined in header files, particularly when interfunction analysis is enabled. Previously, -po df::analyse_header_functions was a boolean option. The new syntax is: -prodoption df::analyse_header_functions={off|inter|intra} To support existing configurations, enabling this option: -po df::analyse_header_functions+ is equivalent to: -po df::analyse_header_functions=intra The intra setting specifies that functions defined in header files are only inlined when called from a definition in the source file, whereas inter is equivalent to the previous functionality which resulted in analysis of all header functions and inlining of other called functions. As a result, using the intra setting provides an improvement in analysis time particularly for projects that make heavy use of inline functions defined in header files. Please see the QA·C manual for more details.

2.4.3 Metric Improvements

2.4.3.1 Ticket 24385

Metrics STM20 ’Number of Operand Occurrences’ will be updated to improve consistency between QA·C and QA·C++. In particular, the invocation of a macro that expands to an _ignore*/_munch* annotation will be counted. Metrics STM21 ’Number of Operand Occurrences’ will be updated to: (1) no longer in- correctly count twice the ’#’ and ’elif’ tokens of an ’#elif’ preprocessing directive, and (2) no longer incorrectly count the ’if’ and ’else’ tokens of preprocessing directives that are located in included files, when the -ppmetrics option is not enabled. Metrics STFDT ’Number of Distinct Operators in Function’ and STFN1 ’Number of Oper- ator Occurrences in Function’ will be updated to improve consistency between QA·C and QA·C++. In particular, when assembly language extensions of the form ’asm ... ’ or ’asm ( ... )’ are used, only the ’asm’ will be counted as an operator, but not the open/close brackets. Metrics STOPN ’Halstead Distinct Operands’ will correctly count the names of ’inline asm’

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 7 Programming Research Ltd.

functions defined using attribute-style syntax, as contributing to the total number of unique identifiers in the program. Metrics STOPT ’Halstead Distinct Operators’ will no longer incorrectly count the ’if’ and ’else’ tokens of preprocessing directives that are located in included files, when the - ppmetrics option is not enabled. Metrics STTOT ’Total Number of Tokens Used’ will be updated to: (1) always count all preprocessing directives, even if they are located in a section of code that is excluded by other preprocessing directives (2) always count tokens that follow on the same line the ’#if’, ’#ifdef’, ’#elif’, ’#define’ and ’#undef’ preprocessing directives (3) always ignore tokens that follow on the same line the ’#else’, ’#endif’, ’#error’ ’#include’ and other un- recognised directives (4) when assembly language extensions of the form ’asm ... ’ or ’asm ( ... )’ are used, only count the ’asm’ token, but not the open/close brackets (5) no longer incorrectly count twice the ’#’ and ’elif’ tokens of an ’#elif’ preprocessing directive (6) no longer incorrectly count the ’if’ and ’else’ tokens of preprocessing directives that are located in included files, when the -ppmetrics option is not enabled. Metrics STVAR ’Total Number of Identifiers’ will be updated to: (1) always count all prepro- cessing directives, even if they are located in a section of code that is excluded by other preprocessing directives (2) always count tokens that follow on the same line the ’#if’, ’#ifdef’, ’#elif’, ’#define’ and ’#undef’ preprocessing directives (3) always ignore tokens that follow on the same line the ’#else’, ’#endif’, ’#error’ ’#include’ and other unrecognised directives (4) correctly count the names of ’inline asm’ functions defined using attribute- style syntax, as contributing to the total number of unique identifiers in the program. Metrics STAV1, STAV2 and STAV3 ’Average Size of Statement in Function’ depend on STFN1, therefore these metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STHAL ’Halstead Prediction of STTOT’ and STZIP ’Zipf Prediction of STTOT’ de- pend on STOPN and STOPT, therefore these metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STSHN ’Shannon Information Content’ depends on STOPN, STOPT and STZIP, therefore this metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STVOL ’Program Volume’ depends on STOPN, STOPT and STTOT, therefore this metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STDIF ’Program Difficulty’ depends on STVOL and STVAR, therefore this metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STEFF ’Program Effort’ depends on STVOL and STDIF, therefore this metrics will also be affected by the update. Metrics STDEV ’Estimated Development Time’ and STBUG ’Residual Bugs (Token-Based Estimate)’ depend on STEFF, therefore these metrics will also be affected by the update.

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 8 Programming Research Ltd.

2.4.3.2 Ticket 24386

The calculation of function metrics STLIN ’Number of Code Lines’ will be adjusted in cases where the code contains statement expressions and/or nested functions, which are GCC language extensions. In particular: (1) the STLIN of a statement expression will always be zero (2) the STLIN of a function containing a statement expression will also include the lines of that statement expression (3) the STLIN of a function containing a nested function will also include the lines of that nested function. Note that the STLIN of a nested function will remain unchanged, still counting the lines of that nested function. The calculation of function metrics STXLN ’Number of Executable Lines’ will be adjusted so that: (1) defining declarations (i.e. declarations with initialisers) will only contribute lines that pertain to their initialiser, starting from the line that contains the ’=’ token (2) the STXLN of a statement expression will always be zero (3) the STXLN of a function containing a statement expression will also include the executable lines of that statement expression. The calculation of function metrics STKDN ’Knot Density’ and STPDN ’Path Density’ de- pends on STXLN, therefore these metrics will also be affected by the update.

2.4.3.3 Ticket 24387

The calculation of file metrics STCDN ’Comment to Code Ratio’ will count ’/’ characters that belong to the code (e.g. that form the ’/’ or ’/=’ operators), and will not count ’\’ char- acters that are immediately followed by a new-line character (i.e. used for line splicing).

2.4.4 Known Issues

2.4.4.1 Use of -extensions Option with Assembly

There is a known issue in QA·C9.2.0 when using the -extensions / -ex option with source files that contain the asm keyword. Enabling all extensions by setting the option to -ex+ or -ex all will cause a parse error (message 0907) against the use of the asm keyword. The workaround is to enable all of the extensions individually as required e.g. -ex vms -ex convex -ex dollar -ex c++ -ex pc -ex ansipc -ex asm

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 9 Programming Research Ltd.

-ex svr4 -ex longlong -ex sl

2.5 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.1.1

2.5.1 Justification for Comment Based Suppressions

The syntax for the comment based suppressions has been extended to allow for justifica- tion text to be associated with the suppression annotation. For Example: doSomething(a, b); // PRQA S 1234 # This is allowed The # delimiter is used to indicate the start of the optional justification text. See the QA·C manual for details of the changes to the syntax of comment based suppressions.

2.6 Functional Changes in QA·C 9.1.0

2.6.1 Messages Location Changes

The QA·C preprocessor has been updated to improve consistency with QA·C++ and to lay the groundwork for the future use of a preprocessor common to both tools. The focus of this work in 9.1.0 are fixes to the location of tokens and messages. For example, previous versions of QA·C would issue diagnostics relating to the trailing comma in an enumerator on the token after the comma: enum E { E0, /* ^ * Location for new release */ }; /* ^ * Location for previous releases */ The calculation of metrics STTLN, STVAR, STDEV, STDIF, STEFF, STHAL, STOPN, STSHN, STVOL, STZIP have also been affected as a result of this change. Note: Messages that are known to have changed as a result of ticket 20522 are listed

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 10 Programming Research Ltd.

in Messages with Modified Behavior. These messages were discovered as a result of extensive regression testing of QA·C. However, it is possible that the location of other QA·C messages will have changed in rare cases.

2.6.2 Support for GCC language extensions

2.6.2.1 Nested Functions

QA·C now fully supports the GCC nested function language extension. For example: int f1(int j) { int f2(int i) { return i + j; } return f2(10); }

2.6.2.2 Statement Expressions

With the addition of nested function support, QA·C has improved statement expression support by mapping them to nested functions. For example, the statement expression: int f3(void) { return ({ int i = 0; i; }); } will be modeled by QA·C as a call to a nested function: int f3(void) { void statement_expr_0_2_10 (void) { int i; return i; } return statement_expr_0_2_10 (); } The improved support for statement expressions may result in a significant difference in messages generated for projects that make use the extension. For example: 1. message 1021 will be generated at the start and not at the end of a statement expression 2. message 3200 instead of message 3112 will be generated against the statement

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 11 Programming Research Ltd.

expression if its result not used 3. message 3112 will no longer be generated against the last statement in a statement expression 4. the generation of messages related to the type of the result of a statement expres- sion will be corrected, this improves the behavior of e.g. messages 0436, 1253, 1291, 1840, 4447, etc. 5. effects across the boundaries of statement expression will be analyzed, so that the behavior of various messages with respect to statement expressions will improve, including e.g. messages 0769, 0770, 0711, 2205, 2212, 3196, 3203, 3220, etc. and also potentially all dataflow messages. Note: Messages that are known to have changed as a result of ticket 11994 are listed in Messages with Modified Behavior. These messages were discovered as a result of extensive regression testing of QA·C. However, it is possible that all QA·C messages related to evaluation of expressions and statements in general could be affected by the introduction of this new feature and these messages are not explicitly listed in Messages with Modified Behavior. As a case in point, there are more than 600 messages in QA·C related to casts, conversions, statements and expressions for which there could potentially be a construct involving a statement expression that would result in different behavior between QA·C 9.1.0 and earlier versions.

2.6.3 Dataflow

2.6.3.1 Query Timeout Message

A new dataflow option df::query_timeout_message has been introduced to generate an analysis message

2758: Query has exceeded the configured maximum: ’%1sms’. Dataflow analysis contin- ues with the next query. whenever a solver query times out, regardless of the df::function _timeout configuration. Previously, it was possible to guarantee that a diagnostic is generated on query timeout only by setting df::query_timeout to be greater than or equal to df::function_timeout, with message 2755 generated in this case. However, this has two undesired side effects: • analysis of the current function will not be completed after a query times out • solver is run in a conservative mode, to guarantee that the time taken does not exceed the specified df::query_timeout, which may mean that a timeout is more likely

RELEASE NOTES : QA·C 9.4.1 Page 12 Programming Research Ltd.

On the other hand, the df::query_timeout_message option does not suffer from these side effects; therefore, it is recommended that df::function_timeout is no longer used, or is set to be greater than df::query_timeout.

2.6.3.2 Buffer Overflow Checking

QA·C detects buffer overflow by checking that a pointer is within the bounds of the object it refers to. However, previously, the analysis did not include the width of the dereferenced type when performing the analysis. For example: #include void foo (void) { int * p = (int*)malloc(2); // sizeof(int) == 4 *p = 0; // 2 byte invalid read previously not detected } QA·C 9.4.1 now correctly identifies this problem. In addition, for intra-function dataflow, QA·C 9.4.1 will use the dimension of parameters declared as arrays when performing out of bounds checking when that parameter is used. For example: void foo (int array[4]) { array[5]; // 2840 Constant: Dereference of an invalid pointer value. }

2.6.3.3 Parameters Declared with Array Syntax

QA·C will generate a message if an array passed as an argument to a function does not have as many elements as the array declarator of the function parameter. For example: void foo1 (int array[4]); void foo2 () { int array[2]; foo1(array); // 2781: Definite: Function argument has fewer elements // than the array dimension in the parameter declaration. } Note: This analysis will not be run for functions that are inlined by QA·C 9.4.1, that is when QA·C is run with a non zero -po df::inter setting.

3.5.1 New Messages

The following table lists messages which are new in QA·C 9.2.0.

Table 3.11: Messages Added for QA·C 9.2.0

Msg. Id. Description %s destination and source objects have incompatible types. Ticket(s): 23471 A new message 1496 will be generated when the destination and/or source argument of memcpy or memmove is a pointer to void. Otherwise, a new message 1495 will be generated when 1495 the destination and source arguments of memcpy or memmove are not pointers to qualified or unqualified versions of compat- ible types. Existing message 1487 will also be extended, so that array arguments to memcmp will be handled as pointer ar- guments. Consequently message 1487 will no longer be incor- rectly generated in certain situations involving array parameters. continued on next page

Table 3.11 – continued from previous page Msg. Id. Description %s destination and source objects may have incompatible types. Ticket(s): 23471 A new message 1496 will be generated when the destination and/or source argument of memcpy or memmove is a pointer to void. Otherwise, a new message 1495 will be generated when 1496 the destination and source arguments of memcpy or memmove are not pointers to qualified or unqualified versions of compat- ible types. Existing message 1487 will also be extended, so that array arguments to memcmp will be handled as pointer ar- guments. Consequently message 1487 will no longer be incor- rectly generated in certain situations involving array parameters. Comparison of a string object representation. Ticket(s): 23781 A new message 1497 will be generated when the memcmp func- 1497 tion is used to compare string objects. Note: message 1497 contributes to the enforcement of MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1 Rule 21.16. The string referenced by type ’struct lconv’ member ’%s’ is being modified. Ticket(s): 23788 A new message 1498 will be generated to report situations where a string referenced by a member of an object of type struct lconv is directly modified. Message 1498 will be gener- ated irrespective of whether the object is obtained from a call to library function ’localeconv’ in . Members of struct lconv that refer to strings are of type ’char *’, however they should be treated as being of type ’const char *’, to avoid un- defined behaviour. Message 1498 contributes to enforce this re- striction, and therefore contributes to the enforcement of MISRA 1498 C:2012 Amendment 1 Rule 21.19. As a consequence of this up- grade, the behaviour of message 1492 will also be refined and extended: message 1492 will no longer be generated against modification of struct lconv strings, but it will still be generated in all other circumstances, and not only when direct modifica- tions to library objects are made via simple assignment, but also when they are made via composite assignments and prefix/post- fix increment/decrement operators. As part of this upgrade, the definition of struct lconv in PRQA’s default header will also be extended to comply with the C99 and C11 stan- dards, by adding members int_p_cs_precedes, int_n_cs_pre- cedes, int_p_sep_by_space, int_n_sep_by_space, int_p_sign_- posn and int_n_sign_posn. continued on next page

Ticket(s): 0372 20272 Message locations have been improved as part of restructuring to enable future use of a preprocessor common to both C and C++ analyzers. [L] Number of macro definitions exceeds 4095 - program does not con- form strictly to ISO:C99. Ticket(s): 23393 Messages 0380 and 0857 will be generated against the macro definition in the main source file that causes the applicable ISO C limit to be exceeded. If instead that macro definition hap- pens to be located in an included header, then message 0380 or 0857 will be generated against the ’#include’ directive in the main source file that leads to the inclusion of that macro defini- 0380 tion. Since messages 0380 and 0857 will no longer be incor- rectly generated at the non-existent line 0, it will be possible to suppress them. 24389 Messages 0380 and 0857 will be generated when the macro identifiers that are ’simultaneously’ defined exceeds the applica- ble limit. More specifically, an ’#undef’ preprocessing directive applied to a macro identifier which is defined at that point, will decrease the running count of macro identifiers being compared against the limits. [U] ’%s’ may be modified and accessed between sequence points - evaluation order unspecified. Ticket(s): 23548 Message 0403 will no longer be incorrectly generated is situa- 0403 tions where a statement expression is used as an operand of an operator whose order of evaluation is unspecified, and the other operand includes the identifier of a local object, and the statement expression does not use or modify that local object.

Note that message 1058 will cover MISRA C:2012 Rule 17.6. [C] The restrict qualifier can only be applied to pointer types derived from object or incomplete types. 14130 The C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier will be parsed and treated as a keyword (consistently with e.g. ’inline’ and ’_Bool’). A new message 1057 will be generated to report occurrences of the C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier. Another new message 0669 will be generated to report constraint errors in the usage of ’restrict’. Note: syntax errors may be generated for C90 source code if the token ’restrict’ happens to be used as an identifier instead of a keyword. In this case either the source code should be up- dated or QAC should be configured to define ’restrict’ as a macro 0669 for a C99 compliant identifier. Note: for source code that uses the C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier it will no longer be necessary for QAC to be configured to define ’restrict’ as a blank macro. Note: MISRA C:2012 rule 8.14 requires the restrict type qualifier not to be used. However, MISRA rules do not apply to the Standard C Library. If message 1057 is used for the purpose of MISRA compliance, it will be up to QAC configuration to suppress it for the applicable files/functions. 20522 Initial restructuring to enable future use of a preprocessor com- mon to both C and C++ analyzers, see Messages Location Changes. continued on next page

Another new message 1050 will be generated when a nested function is declared with incorrect storage class specifiers. [C99] The keyword ’restrict’ has been used. 14130 The C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier will be parsed and treated as a keyword (consistently with e.g. ’inline’ and ’_Bool’). A new message 1057 will be generated to report occurrences of the C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier. Another new message 0669 will be generated to report constraint errors in the usage of ’restrict’. Note: syntax errors may be generated for C90 source code if the token ’restrict’ happens to be used as an identifier instead of a keyword. In this case either the source code should be up- 1057 dated or QAC should be configured to define ’restrict’ as a macro for a C99 compliant identifier. Note: for source code that uses the C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier it will no longer be necessary for QAC to be configured to define ’restrict’ as a blank macro. Note: MISRA C:2012 rule 8.14 requires the restrict type qualifier not to be used. However, MISRA rules do not apply to the Standard C Library. If message 1057 is used for the purpose of MISRA compliance, it will be up to QAC configuration to suppress it for the applicable files/functions. [C99] The keyword ’static’ is used in the declaration of a function pa- rameter of array type. 20396 QAC will be able to parse the C99 syntax for the static key- word and type qualifiers (const, volatile and restrict), which ap- 1058 plies to indexes in array declarations for function parameters, and instead of syntax errors it will generate new C99 portability messages 1058 and 1059 and new constraint error messages 0460, 0461, 0462 and 0463.

Message(s): 0618 [C99] ’volatile’ qualifier has been duplicated. Message 0402 will no longer be incorrectly generated in certain situ- ations involving assignment between structure members, which are of function pointer type and which are accessed through pointers. 21171 F Message(s): 0402 [U] ’%s’ is modified and accessed between sequence points - evaluation order unspecified. The assignment of a local variable’s address of objects with longer life- time is not always detected. Message(s): 2826 Definite: Use of an object after its lifetime has ended. 2827 Apparent: Use of an object after its lifetime has ended. 2828 Suspicious: Use of an object after its lifetime has ended. 21292 F 2916 Definite: Storing the address of an object in a pointer that has greater lifetime. 2917 Apparent: Storing the address of an object in a pointer that has greater lifetime. 2918 Suspicious: Storing the address of an object in a pointer that has greater lifetime. continued on next page

Table 4.2 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description New messages 3241 to warn when inline function declarations are im- plicitly static, and 3242 to warn when a plain inline function declaration rules out making defining it as static later. Also improves consistency of related qualifier/specifier messages. Message(s): 0774 [C] ’auto’ may not be specified on global declaration of ’%s’. 0775 [C] ’register’ may not be specified on global declaration of ’%s’. 2007 ’auto’ does not add information to a declaration, and is best avoided. 24801 N 3236 [C] ’inline’ may not be applied to function ’main’. 3240 inline function ’%s’ is being defined with external linkage. 3241 This inline function declaration for ’%s’ is implicitly static. 3242 This inline function declaration for ’%s’ prevents it from being defined with internal linkage. 3243 inline function ’%s’ is also an ’external definition’. 3244 [C] ’inline’ may only be used in the declaration of a function identifier. 3620 ’register’ may be illegal on array and ’struct’ / ’union’ types in some compilers. New analysis to highlight arrays with explicit initializers for some, but not all, elements. Message(s): 0691 Array initialized with designators has fewer initializers than its declared size. Default initialization is applied to the remain- der of the array elements. 24803 N 0704 Structure initialized with designators has fewer initializers than its declared size. Default initialization is applied to the remainder of the members. 2500 Call to ’%s’ is not immediately preceded by the zero-ing of ’errno’. 2502 Zero-ing of ’errno’ is not immediately followed by a call to an ’errno’ setting function. QAC will generate message 1814 whenever an expression of essen- tially enum type is added or subtracted with an expression with essen- tially character type. 24805 N Message(s): 1814 An operand of ’essentially enum’ type is being added or sub- tracted from an operand of ’essentially character’ type. continued on next page

New messages 3433 and 3434 to indicate when sizeof or alignof are being used with a non-parenthesized expression operand. 24813 N Message(s): 3433 Expression operand to sizeof is not parenthesized. 3434 Expression operand to alignof is not parenthesized. Message 0499 will be correctly generated in certain situations where the left hand side operand of the shift operator is a constant expression. Note that this update will clear some false negatives in the enforcement 24824 F of MISRA C:2012 Rule 12.2.

New message 3387 to identify use of increment or decrement operator in an expression that has another side effect. Detection of volatile ac- cess has also been improved, in particular when involving addresses of volatile objects. Message(s): 24835 N 3387 A full expression containing an increment (++) or decrement (–) operator should have no potential side effects other than that caused by the increment or decrement operator. 3421 Expression with persistent side effects is used in an initializer list. False positives for messages 3415, 3416, 3421 and 3446 when an ex- pression calls a function with no persistent side effect.

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description A new message is generated when Dataflow detects incorrect use of Standard Library string handling functions that results in access beyond the bounds of an object passed as an argument to the function. 22788 N Message(s): 2835 Constant: Non null terminated string used in a string function. 2836 Definite: Non null terminated string used in a string function. 2839 Possible: Non null terminated string used in a string function. New messages 2676 and 2678 are generated when Dataflow detects that the value returned from a Standard Library function that can re- turn EOF is modified before being compared to macro EOF. In addition, new messages 2671 and 2674 are generated when a value being com- pared with macro EOF is seen as not having originated from am EOF returning function. Message(s): 22789 N 2671 Definite: The value being compared with macro EOF does not originate from an EOF returning function. 2674 Possible: The value being compared with macro EOF does not originate from an EOF returning function. 2676 Definite: The value originating from an EOF returning function was modified before being compared with macro EOF. 2678 Suspicious: The value originating from an EOF returning func- tion was modified before being compared with macro EOF. A new message will be generated when Dataflow detects that the Stan- dard Library function memcmp is being used to compare null terminated strings.

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description Messages 0380 and 0857 will be generated against the macro definition in the main source file that causes the applicable ISO C limit to be exceeded. If instead that macro definition happens to be located in an included header, then message 0380 or 0857 will be generated against the ’#include’ directive in the main source file that leads to the inclusion of that macro definition. Since messages 0380 and 0857 will no longer 23393 F be incorrectly generated at the non-existent line 0, it will be possible to suppress them. Message(s): 0380 [L] Number of macro definitions exceeds 4095 - program does not conform strictly to ISO:C99. 0857 [L] Number of macro definitions exceeds 1024 - program does not conform strictly to ISO:C90. Dataflow modelling of pointers and members of structures/unions has been improved in order to address false positives for a number of mes- sages. 23458 E Message(s): 2961 Definite: Using value of uninitialized automatic object ’%s’. 2962 Apparent: Using value of uninitialized automatic object ’%s’. 2963 Suspicious: Using value of uninitialized automatic object ’%s’. A new message 1496 will be generated when the destination and/or source argument of memcpy or memmove is a pointer to void. Other- wise, a new message 1495 will be generated when the destination and source arguments of memcpy or memmove are not pointers to qualified or unqualified versions of compatible types. Existing message 1487 will also be extended, so that array arguments to memcmp will be handled 23471 E as pointer arguments. Consequently message 1487 will no longer be incorrectly generated in certain situations involving array parameters. Message(s): 1487 Comparing the representations of objects of different types. 1495 %s destination and source objects have incompatible types. 1496 %s destination and source objects may have incompatible types. continued on next page

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description The analysis of initialiser lists which contain array identifiers (to initialise members of pointer type) will be properly carried out, so that subse- quent expressions in the initialiser list will not be affected by rogue false positives, for instance of messages 0671, 0674, 0684, 0703, 3768, 3892 and 4461, or false negatives, for instance of message 0673. Message(s): 0671 [C] Initializer for object of arithmetic type is not of arithmetic type. 0673 [C] Initializer points to a more heavily qualified type. 23547 F 0674 [C] Initializer for pointer is of incompatible type. 0684 [C] Too many initializers. 0703 Structure has fewer initializers than its declared size. Default initialization is applied to the remainder of the members. 3768 Implicit conversion: unsigned int to unsigned char. 3892 The result of this cast is implicitly converted to another type. 4461 A non-constant expression of ’essentially unsigned’ type (%1s) is being converted to narrower unsigned type, ’%2s’ on assign- ment. Message 0403 will no longer be incorrectly generated is situations where a statement expression is used as an operand of an operator whose order of evaluation is unspecified, and the other operand in- cludes the identifier of a local object, and the statement expression 23548 F does not use or modify that local object.

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description When the warncall option is used to enable the reporting of calls to the ’exit’ function, QAC will no longer generate default message 2010 (or any other alternative message specified by the warncall option) against statement expressions that do not contain calls to the ’exit’ function. In these situations M3CM will also no longer incorrectly generate mes- 23579 F sage 5126 to report violations of MISRA C:2012 Rule 21.8. Note that statement expressions are a GCC language extension, and that func- tion ’exit’ is defined in the standard library header . Message(s): 2010 The function ’%s()’ must not be called. No changes to QAC functionality have been implemented for this ticket, 23580 F which is to be considered internal. When a struct/union/array is initialised with an initialiser list, messages 1291, 1398 and 3421 will be generated against the initialiser’s expres- sion they refer to, instead of the subsequent token (comma or curly bracket). 23581 E Message(s): 1291 An integer constant of ’essentially unsigned’ type is being con- verted to signed type on assignment. 1398 Structure member ’%s’ has already been initialized. 3421 Expression with possible side effects is used in an initializer list. continued on next page

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description A new message 1498 will be generated to report situations where a string referenced by a member of an object of type struct lconv is directly modified. Message 1498 will be generated irrespective of whether the object is obtained from a call to library function ’locale- conv’ in . Members of struct lconv that refer to strings are of type ’char *’, however they should be treated as being of type ’const char *’, to avoid undefined behaviour. Message 1498 contributes to enforce this restriction, and therefore contributes to the enforcement of MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1 Rule 21.19. As a consequence of this upgrade, the behaviour of message 1492 will also be refined and extended: message 1492 will no longer be generated against modifi- cation of struct lconv strings, but it will still be generated in all other 23788 F circumstances, and not only when direct modifications to library ob- jects are made via simple assignment, but also when they are made via composite assignments and prefix/postfix increment/decrement op- erators. As part of this upgrade, the definition of struct lconv in PRQA’s default header will also be extended to comply with the C99 and C11 standards, by adding members int_p_cs_precedes, int_n_cs_- precedes, int_p_sep_by_space, int_n_sep_by_space, int_p_sign_posn and int_n_sign_posn.

Table 4.5 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description A new configuration option ’-errnosettingfunction’ or ’-esf’, which is fol- lowed by the identifier of a function, will be recognised. The specified function will be handled as a function that returns error information us- ing ’errno’. Note that according to the C standard the following functions are errno setting functions, and QAC will by default handle them as such: ftell, fgetpos, fsetpos, fgetwc, fputwc, strtoimax, strtoumax, str- tol, strtoul, strtoll, strtoull, strtof, strtod, strtold wcstoimax, wcstoumax, wcstol, wcstoul, wcstoll, wcstoull, wcstof, wcstod, wcstold, wcrtomb, wcsrtombs, mbrtowc. The configuration option is intended to identify any additional functions that are also to be considered errno setting. 23789 E This option will affect the behaviour of messages 2500, 2501, 2502 and 2503 and will contribute to the enforcement of MISRA C:2012 Amend- ment 1 Rules 22.8, 22.9 and 22.10.

If these an- notations are being used as intended, this upgrade will not affect the behaviour of any messages, otherwise various messages may be af- 24394 F fected, as the source code will be parsed in a different way. The ignore/- munch annotations are expected to be defined as object-like macros: the _ignore*/_munch* keywords are only expected to occur in macro re- placement lists. The macro replacement list is not expected to be used for anything except to identify the macro as a user-defined skip instruc- tion. For example it is not expected to include any additional tokens to be extracted into the source code. Message 0338 will be consistently generated against each applicable escape sequence irrespective of the form and remaining content of the 24396 E including string literal and irrespective of whether the escape sequence is octal or hexadecimal.,0338„„„, Tokens ignored using the _ignore*/_munch* annotations will be consid- ered for the purposes of layout checking, in particular when examining a null statement to see if it is obscured by text on the same line. In these circumstances any of message 3138, 3139 and 3141 will be generated instead of message 3140. 24397 E Message(s): 3138 Null statement is located close to other code or comments. 3139 Null statement is obscured by code or comment on the same line. 3140 Null statement occurs on a line by itself. 3141 Null statement does not occur on a line by itself. Message 3459 will be generated instead of message 3412 whenever a macro replacement list contains a do-while-zero statement, even its loop body is a single statement (not enclosed in curly brackets). Mes- sage 1021 will be generated instead of message 3412 when a macro replacement list contains a statement expression (note that statement 24398 E expressions are a GCC language extension). Message(s): 1021 [E] A statement expression is not supported in ISO C, and is treated as a language extension. 3412 Macro defines an unrecognized code-fragment. 3459 Macro defines a ’do-while-zero’ construct. continued on next page

Table 4.6 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description Indent checker reworked to remove false positives and clarify behavior of messages. 2200, 2201 and 2211 significantly changed by removing false positives/negatives; indent-related messages are no longer emit- ted in the event of an unrecoverable parse failure. 2200 Indentation of this line is to the left of the line above. 2201 This indentation is not consistent with previous indentation in this file. 2203 This closing brace is not aligned appropriately with the matching 23664 F opening brace. 2204 ’%s’ is not aligned to match its controlling ’switch’ statement. 2207 This brace style is not consistent with ’K&R’ style. 2208 This brace style is not consistent with ’indented’ style. 2209 This brace style is not consistent with ’exdented’ style. 2211 ’%s’ is not aligned with the previously declared identifier. 2213 Matching braces appear on the same line - proper indentation would be preferred. 2215 This indentation is not consistent with configured depth. Dataflow no longer disabled for code that contains an instance of diag- nostics 3237 or 3238. 3237 [C] inline function ’%1s’ has external linkage and is defining an object, ’%2s’, with static storage duration. 23818 F 3238 [C] inline function ’%1s’ has external linkage and is referring to an object, ’%2s’, with internal linkage. 2753 As a result of error message ’%s’, dataflow analysis of the re- mainder of this function is not possible. When the -ex asm configuration option is specified, the asm language extension will be properly handled even if the source code relies on ad- ditional language extensions for nested functions or statement expres- sions. Consequently in these circumstances syntax errors and recovery 24104 F actions will no longer be reported. 0907 [S] Unexpected token. 0911 Inserted ’%s’ token in an attempt to continue parsing. 0920 Source skipped to this point after error in expression. 0926 [S] Expected:%s.

Flexible array members are a feature introduced by the C99 standard. New messages 1061 and 1062 will also report constraint errors when a structure with a flexible array member (and any union containing, pos- sibly recursively, a member that is such a structure) is a member of a structure or an element of an array. 12042 E 1060 [C99] A flexible array member has been declared. 1061 [C] Structure ’%1s’ with flexible array member ’%2s’ cannot be used in the declaration of structure member ’%3s’. 1062 [C] Structure ’%1s’ with flexible array member ’%2s’ cannot be used in the declaration of array elements. 0642 [C] ’%s’ in ’struct’ or ’union’ type may not be an array of unknown size. New messages 3636 and 3637 will be generated when octal or hex- adecimal escape sequences are not followed by another escape se- 14112 N quence or the end of the character constant or string literal. 3636 Octal escape sequence ’%s’ is not terminated. 3637 Hexadecimal escape sequence ’%s’ is not terminated. A new message 3421 will be generated when expressions with possible 14117 N side effects are used in initialiser lists. 3421 Expression with possible side effects is used in an initializer list. continued on next page

Table 4.7 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description New messages 1397, 1398 and 1399 will be generated to report situ- ations where the use of C99 designated initialisers results in multiple initialisations of array elements or struct/union members. 14118 N 1397 Array element ’%s’ has already been initialized. 1398 Structure member ’%s’ has already been initialized. 1399 A union member has already been initialized. A new message 3676 will be generated when designated initialisers are 14119 N used to initialise an array object whose size is not explicitly specified. 3676 Designators are used to initialize an array of unspecified size. A new message 0892 will be generated when the occurrence of a macro parameter in a macro replacement list is immediately preceded 14127 N by the stringify operator ’#’ and immediately followed by the glue oper- ator ’##’. 0892 This macro parameter is preceded by ’#’ and followed by ’##’. A new message 0893 will be generated when a macro parameter: (1) is used as an operand of the stringify ’#’ or glue ’##’ operators, hence not subject to macro replacement, and (2) is also used otherwise, hence subject to macro replacement, in the same macro definition, and (3) 14128 N the corresponding argument in a macro invocation is subject to macro replacement. 0893 Macro parameter ’%s’ is inconsistently subject to macro replace- ment. The C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier will be parsed and treated as a keyword (consistently with e.g. ’inline’ and ’_Bool’). A new message 1057 will be generated to report occurrences of the C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier. Another new message 0669 will be generated to report constraint errors in the usage of ’restrict’. Note: syntax errors may be generated for C90 source code if the token ’restrict’ happens to be used as an identifier instead of a keyword. In this case either the source code should be updated or QAC should be configured to define ’restrict’ as a macro for a C99 compliant identifier. Note: for source code that uses the 14130 N C99 ’restrict’ type qualifier it will no longer be necessary for QAC to be configured to define ’restrict’ as a blank macro. Note: MISRA C:2012 rule 8.14 requires the restrict type qualifier not to be used. However, MISRA rules do not apply to the Standard C Library. If message 1057 is used for the purpose of MISRA compliance, it will be up to QAC configuration to suppress it for the applicable files/functions. 0669 [C] The restrict qualifier can only be applied to pointer types de- rived from object or incomplete types. 1057 [C99] The keyword ’restrict’ has been used. continued on next page

Table 4.7 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description A new message 3213 will be generated to report an unused struct/u- nion/enum tag. A new message 3214 will be generated to report an unused macro. Existing message 3205 will also be generated for un- 15709 N used enum constants defined at file scope in the source file. 3213 The tag ’%s’ is not used and could be removed. 3214 The macro ’%s’ is not used and could be removed. 3205 The identifier ’%s’ is not used and could be removed. A new message 1338 will be generated when a function parameter is modified. When the address of operator ’&’ is applied to a function pa- rameter, a new message 1339 will be generated if the resulting pointer is non const, and a new message 1340 will be generated if the resulting 15711 N pointer is const. 1338 The parameter ’%s’ is being modified. 1339 Evaluating the address of the parameter ’%s’. 1340 Storing the address of the parameter ’%s’ in a constant pointer. New messages 0784, 0785, 0786 & 0787 when identifiers are not dis- tinct from macro names. 0784 Identifier ’%s’ is also used as a macro name. 0785 Identifier matches other macro name(s) (e.g. ’%s’) in first 31 15716 N characters. 0786 Identifier matches other macro name(s) (e.g. ’%s’) in first 63 characters. 0787 Identifier does not differ from other macro name(s) (e.g. ’%s’) within the specified number of significant characters. New message will be generated to report when a dynamic memory allocation function is called with an argument for memory size that is inconsistent with the size of the type of object to allocate, see Buffer Overflow Checking. 0701 Argument for memory size does not refer to ’sizeof (%s)’. 2841 Definite: Dereference of an invalid pointer value. 15753 N 2842 Apparent: Dereference of an invalid pointer value. 2843 Suspicious: Dereference of an invalid pointer value. 2844 Possible: Dereference of an invalid pointer value. 2931 Definite: Computing an invalid pointer value. 2932 Apparent: Computing an invalid pointer value. 2933 Suspicious: Computing an invalid pointer value. 2934 Possible: Computing an invalid pointer value. continued on next page

Table 4.7 – continued from previous page Ticket Type Description New analysis to check array arguments passed to a function when a sized array is used as a function parameter. A message will be gener- ated if an array passed as an argument to the function does not have as many elements as the array declarator of the function parameter. 2781 Definite: Function argument has fewer elements than the array dimension in the parameter declaration for non-inlined call. 20191 N 2782 Apparent: Function argument has fewer elements than the array dimension in the parameter declaration for non-inlined call. 2783 Suspicious: Function argument has fewer elements than the ar- ray dimension in the parameter declaration for non-inlined call. 2784 Possible: Function argument has fewer elements than the array dimension in the parameter declaration for non-inlined call. QAC will be able to parse the C99 syntax for the static keyword and type qualifiers (const, volatile and restrict), which applies to indexes in array declarations for function parameters, and instead of syntax errors it will generate new C99 portability messages 1058 and 1059 and new con- straint error messages 0460, 0461, 0462 and 0463. Note that message 1058 will cover MISRA C:2012 Rule 17.6. 0460 [C] The keyword static is used in the declaration of the index of an array which is not a function parameter. 0461 [C] The keyword static is used in the declaration of an inner index 20396 N of a multi-dimensional array. 0462 [C] A type qualifier (const, volatile or restrict) is used in the decla- ration of the index of an array which is not a function parameter. 0463 [C] A type qualifier (const, volatile or restrict) is used in the dec- laration of an inner index of a multi-dimensional array. 1058 [C99] The keyword ’static’ is used in the declaration of a function parameter of array type. 1059 [C99] A type qualifier (const, volatile or restrict) is used in the declaration of a function parameter of array type. Two new messages 1485 and 1486 will be generated to report respec- tively when an object of type pointer to FILE is dereferenced and when it is explicitly or implicitly converted to a different type. Note: these messages cover MISRA C:2012 Rule 22.5, which bans the dereferenc- ing of pointer to FILE objects. Rule 22.5 is classed as undecidable, 20397 N however the combination of messages 1485 and 1486 intentionally im- poses stricter constraints than Rule 22.5, so that their enforcement is decidable. 1485 A pointer to a FILE object is dereferenced. 1486 A pointer to a FILE object is converted to a different type. continued on next page

QAC will not abort with a SIGABRT fatal error when analysing the cast- 22094 F ing of an object to a struct/union type directly followed by access to a member of that type. A new message 4599 will be generated when a binary operator ’+’, ’-’, ’*’, ’/’, ’%’, ’&’, ’|’, ’^’, ’<’, ’<=’, ’>’, ’>=’, ’==’, ’!=’, ’?:’, ’=’, ’+=’, ’-=’, ’*=’, ’/=’, ’%=’, ’&=’, ’|=’ or ’^=’ is applied to two operands which are derived from 22496 E the same integer type but have different type names. 4599 Operands of binary operator ’%1s’ have the same type ’%2s’ but distinct type names ’%3s’ and ’%4s’. Message 0402 will no longer be incorrectly generated in certain cir- cumstances where the left hand side of an assignment is enclosed in parentheses and involves access to a struct/union member via the dot 22555 F or arrow operator. 0402 [U] ’%s’ is modified and accessed between sequence points - evaluation order unspecified. Designated initialisers referring to members in nested stuctures will be recognised even if their ordering does not reflect the ordering in the 22606 F structure definition. Consequently, under these circumstances mes- sage 0435 will no longer be incorrectly generated. 0435 [C] The ’struct’/’union’ member ’%s’ does not exist.

This applies to switch statements, nested if-else state- ments and repeated conditional return/abort()/exit() statements. 2752 This ’%1s’ results in the function being too complex. Dataflow analysis continues with the next function. 2751 This function is too complex. Dataflow analysis continues with the next function. Dataflow analysis will not be run on functions defined in headers that are subject to the -quiet option even if those functions are qualified as inline. Because of the -quiet option, messages resulting from this anal- ysis are already suppressed, so there will be no change in the mes- 22758 F sages produced by QAC. However there will be an improvement in per- formance when headers containing inline functions are quieted, and metrics STRET and STUNR will no longer be incorrectly calculated for those inline functions. continued on next page
