leakReturnValNotUsed. Return value of allocation function <...> is not stored

[Teodor Todorov]

What to do for it to not report it or change it from error to information.
I am using something like this:

mypointer<int> myobject (createObj());</int>

where mypointeris a smart pointer and createObj returns a pointer.
Cppcheck dedicates that myobject is a function not an obejct.

I have tried

<def>
<function name="myobject ">
<memory>
<alloc>malloc</alloc>
<dealloc>free</dealloc>
<use>myobject </use>
</memory>
</function>
</def>
with no effect.

and with rules
but it only editing the new rule to the previous report without removing the wrong reports.

I fail to reproduce.

Is it possible to show some example 4-5 lines of code that reproduce the problem?

<function name="myobject "></function>

this is bad configuration. myobject is not a function. don't do this.

[Teodor Todorov]

void main()
{
smart_ptr<ms> s ( zaz::create() );
}</ms>

and it gives me "error,leakReturnValNotUsed,Return value of allocation function s is not stored."

so i am trying to change the output because it is OK.

but with rule-file

<rule version="1"></rule>

<pattern>smart_ptr<MS> s \( zaz::create\(\) \);</pattern>

<message>

    <id>information</id>

    <severity>information</severity>

    <summary>It is not an error.</summary>

</message>

there is not a change in the output.
I do not want to use suppression on the whole file or suppress the error on exact line.
Just want ot change the error properties .

And debug shows
,debug,debug,Unknown type 'smart_ptr<ms>'.</ms>

May be this is not the right way to make it.

Tried with config but:

<def></def>

<memory>

    <alloc>malloc</alloc>

    <dealloc>free</dealloc>

    <use>socket</use>

</memory>

again with no difference in the output.

Or my problem is within the pcre.lib and pcre.h. What to do with them to be able to use rules.

I tried with --library by defining smart_ptr and MS witout the other attributes. That managed the Unknown type in debug but I have no idea what to do with 's' that is detected as function - i tried to make container definition for smart_ptr because it is almost the same as the example with std::vector but result was still the same.
