<h1>Release notes for <tt>checker-XXX</tt> builds</h1>

<h4 id="checker_279">checker-279</h4>

<p><b>highlights:</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The analyzer includes new checks for:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improper instance cleanup up in Objective-C -dealloc methods under manual retain/release.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Inadvertent comparisons of NSNumber, CFNumberRef, and other number object pointers against scalar values.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Unsafe usage of dispatch_once_t predicates stored in Objective-C instance variables and other heap-allocated memory.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Issues resulting from self-assignment in C++.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Incorrect usage of MPI APIs in C and C++. This check can be enabled by passing the following command to scan-build: <br />
|
||
|
|
<tt>-enable-checker optin.mpi.MPI-Checker</tt></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The scan-build tool now supports a <tt>--force-analyze-debug-code flag</tt> that forces projects to analyze in debug mode. This flag leaves in assertions and so typically results in fewer false positives.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Additional miscellaneous improvements.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now requires macOS 10.8 or later.</li>
|
||
|

false positives for variables captured by reference.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The analyzer now checks for misuse of 'vfork()'. This check is enabled by default.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The analyzer can now detect excessively-padded structs. This check can be enabled by passing the following
|
||
|
|
command to scan-build:<br />
|
||

|
|
<p><b>highlights:</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Includes about 9 months of change to Clang itself (improved C++11/14 support, etc.)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>More precise modeling of Objective-C properties, which enables the analyzer to find more bugs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Includes a new "missing call to <tt>super</tt>" warning, which looks for common pattern in iOS/OSX APIs that require chaining a call to a super class's implementation of a method.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Accepts <tt>-arch arm64</tt> (which may be passed by Xcode 5.0), but for the time being analyzes code in such cases as <tt>-arch armv7s</tt>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Many sundry fixes, improvements to C++ support, etc.</li>

|
<p><b>highlights:</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Xcode: Includes a new arrow layout algorithm for issue presentation within Xcode. The goal is for interprocedural bug reports to look cleaner and less busy (and easier to read). Feedback appreciated.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Xcode: Bugs that occur within header code (e.g., C++) are now reported within the callers in the main source file. For example, if you misuse a C++ function declared in a header the primary diagnostic will be in the caller (in the main source file). The full expanded path, however, will show the bug in the header code as well. These kind of cross-file issues are currently only support by Xcode, not the HTML output.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>This build is built with LLVM's Link-Time Optimization (LTO), which should make it slightly faster.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>LTO also reduces the download size (about 19% smaller than checker-274).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Many sundry fixes.</li>

<p>This release contains a fix for a major crasher introduced in checker-264, and various refinements to
|
||
|
|
improve the precision and reduce the false positive rate of the analyzer. It also enables a new unix.MallocSizeof check, which reports
|

inconsistencies between the casted type of the return value of a 'malloc/calloc/realloc' call and the operand
|

of sizeof expressions contained within its argument(s).</p>

<li>Major under-the-cover changes. This should result in more precise results in some cases, but this is laying the groundwork for major improvements. Please file bugs where you see regressions or issues.</li>

<li>The analyzer is now far more aggressive with checking conformance with Core Foundation conventions. Any function that returns a CF type must now obey the Core Foundation naming conventions, or use the <a href="/annotations.html#attr_cf_returns_retained">cf_returns_retained</a> or <a href="/annotations.html#attr_cf_returns_not_retained">cf_returns_not_retained</a> annotations.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fixed a serious regression where the analyzer would not analyze Objective-C methods in class extensions.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Misc. bug fixes to improve analyzer precision.

<li>Lots of bug fixes and improvements to analyzer precision (fewer false positives, possibly more bugs found).
|
||
|

<li>Introductory analysis support for C++ and Objective-C++.

|

|
|
<p>This build contains basic support for C++ and Objective-C++ that is ready to be tried out
|
||
|
|
by general users. It is still in its infancy, but establishes a baseline for things to come. The main hope is that it can find some
|
||
|
|
issues and have a reasonable false positive rate.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Please</b> <a href="/filing_bugs.html">file bugs</a> when you see issues of any kind so we can assess
|
||
|
|
where development on C++ analysis support needs to be focused.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To try out C++ analysis support, it should work out of the box using <tt>scan-build</tt>. If you are using this checker build
|
||
|
|
as a replacement to the analyzer bundled with Xcode, first use the <tt>set-xcode-analyzer</tt> script to <a href="/xcode.html">change Xcode to use
|
||
|
|
your version of the analyzer</a>. You will then need to modify one configuration file in Xcode to enable C++ analysis support. This can
|
||
|
|
be done with the following steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Find the clang .xcspec file:
|
||
|
|
<pre>$ cd /Developer/Library
|
||
|
|
$ find . | grep xcspec | grep Clang
|
||
|
|
./Xcode/<b><SNIP></b>/Clang LLVM 1.0.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/Clang LLVM 1.0.xcspec
|
||
|
|
</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The exact location of the file may vary depending on your installation of Xcode. Edit that file, and look for the string "--analyze":
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
SourceFileOption = "--analyze";
|
||
|
|
FileTypes = (
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.c.c",
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.c.objc",
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Change the "FileTypes" entry to:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
FileTypes = (
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.c.c",
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.c.objc",
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.cpp.cpp",
|
||
|
|
"sourcecode.cpp.objcpp",
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Restart Xcode.</li>
