cppcheck will not recognize a function pointer

[wy163]

Hi,

Below code will be checked as null pointer dereference. But with the function call replaced with a function pointer, no error message will be reported. Seems cppcheck will not recognize a function pointer as a function.

char * func(){return 0;}
int main() {
char * (*f_p)();
f_p = func;
char * p = func();
*p = 'a';
return 0;
}

Nothing reported.

char * func(){return 0;}
int main() {
char * (*f_p)();
f_p = func;
char * p = f_p();
*p = 'a';
return 0;
}
