false positive (if - else)

[Stefano Bordoni]

Using v1.79, I found a false positive.

It is triggered by something like this small .c

test.c

int GetVal (void)
{
return 0x123548;
}

int * GetPtr (int *pPtr)
{
return pPtr;
}

int main (void)
{
int x, *pPtr;

x = GetVal ();
if (pPtr = GetPtr (&x), pPtr == NULL)
    x = 0x01;
else
{
    x = *pPtr;
}
return x;

}

Best Regards

Thanks! I can reproduce. I created http://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8105.

Looks like this has been fixed with 597d0fa35b7d752677394df85d06b3458c8e30b4

Btw, could you create me a trac account ?

[Daniel Marjamäki]

Sure. Please generate a htpasswd hash and send that to me. You can generate the htpasswd hash on your computer if you want. Or online (google "htpasswd generator").
