cppcheck does not report any error if there is a miss in close() system call

[pavithra rani]

Hi,
I do not know why cppcheck is not showing resource leak when close(fd) system call was not made.
Resource Leak is thrown only when fclose is missing.

.#define FNAME "a.txt"
int main()
{
FILE *fp;
int fd;
fp=fopen("b.txt","w+");
fd=open(FNAME,O_RDONLY,0);
return 0;
}

cppcheck --enable=all Myopen.cc
Checking Myopen.cc...
[Myopen.cc:12]: (style) Variable 'fp' is assigned a value that is never used.
[Myopen.cc:13]: (style) Variable 'fd' is assigned a value that is never used.
[Myopen.cc:14]: (error) Resource leak: fp
Checking usage of global functions..
(information) Cppcheck cannot find all the include files (use --check-config for details)

please reply if any one is aware of this.
Thanks,
Pavithra

Have you tried --library=posix.cfg?

[pavithra rani]

hey thanks:) I tired with above option too. Installed latest cppcheck 1.72 and included library option Still no error is reported.

Command Line:
cppcheck --enable=all --library=/usr/bin/cfg/posix.cfg --std=posix ConfigFileStream.cc

Code snippet:
open() system call is invoked in constructor , also file descriptor is not created here.

configFileStream::configFileStream(String configFileName,String release, char separator, AxBoolean oneDomain)
:ifstream() {

    open(configFileName);
     .
     .
     .

}

Cppcheck version 1.73 is the latest. Does the problem occur with that version?
