Cppcheck 1.78

Cppcheck-1.78 has been released.

General changes:

• Reduced memory usage by up to 10% by reducing size of token list

New checks:

• Mismatching argument names between function declaration and definition
• Detect classes which have a copy constructor but no copy operator and vice versa

Checking improvements:

• Improved matching of overloaded functions
• Improved ValueType analysis, especially related to allocations with "new" and C++11's "auto"
• Improved support for C++11 brace initialization
• Improved ValueFlow analysis
• Improved template parsing
• Improved detection of memory leaks
• Improved nullpointer checking when nullptr and NULL are used
• Detect array out of bounds across compilation units
• Extended windows.cfg, posix.cfg and std.cfg

Additionally, lots of false positives and bugs have been fixed and several existing checks have been improved.

Hi Daniel. In 1.77 my colleague and I found an issue where the set of warnings found and reported were completely different dependent on whether an include path is set or not. Do you know if that is a known issue and, if so, whether 1.78 addresses it? If not, how best to report? Thanks

that is hard to say. for instance I made a fix in the preprocessor that means better configurations are extracted.

It is best to report problems in our Trac: http://trac.cppcheck.net
