'g++ Static analysis: false positive with -fanalyzer?
Running this very little snippet, to show a problem I have with a much larger code:
// Type your code here, or load an example.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <memory>
using namespace std;
int main() {
auto res = make_unique<int>();
auto ptr = res.get();
if (ptr) {
*ptr = 5;
cout << *ptr << endl;
}
return 0;
}
with the -fanalyzer switch, I get a warning
warning: dereference of possibly-NULL 'operator new(4)' [CWE-690] [-Wanalyzer-possible-null-dereference]
But clearly I made all I could do to avoid this warning, but it is buried in the STL, which returns a unique_ptr with no validity control..
I understand the word "possibly" though..
Anyway to correct this on my side?
Update:
I made a mistake in the first go, now corrected
Update 2:
Even that code is refused
// Type your code here, or load an example.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main() {
auto i = new int(3);
if (!i) {
return 1;
}
unique_ptr<int> res(i);
auto ptr = res.get();
if (!ptr) {
return 1;
}
*ptr = 5;
cout << *ptr << endl;
return 0;
}
Please, see here
Solution 1:[1]
As for now (gcc-12), the analyzer is not recommended for C++ code although work is underway to support it.
