Hi, Lucas, Jordan:
About the division by zero checking, I run this:
scan-build --use-analyzer /usr/bin/clang -o buildres/ clang -c -I
testcasesupport -DOMITGOOD
testcases/CWE369_Divide_by_Zero/s02/CWE369_Divide_by_Zero__int_zero_divide_01.c
-o /dev/null
and I get the warnng:
testcases/CWE369_Divide_by_Zero/s02/CWE369_Divide_by_Zero__int_zero_divide_01.c:30:22:
warning: Division by zero
printIntLine(100 / data);
~~~~^~~~~~
So, Lucas, which file was failing for you?
Regarding the experience, here it is what I gathered till now:
I created a very huge file_list.txt, containing the source files to compile
(I used 'find -name *.c*' in the juliet directory), then filtered away the
'main\.c', 'main_linux\.c' and 'testcasesupport' files (grep -v), which
have nothing to check, then I sorted the list by CWE number (I had to do
manual sorting because I couldn't manage to sort, for example, CWE15_* and
CWE114_* correctly).
Since I can't check for win32-only tests (I'm using linux), I filtered them
via 'grep -v w32' and 'grep -v wchar_t' (some tests require a 'fopen'-like
function with wchar_t string, which seems to be exclusive to win32).
Regarding the per-translation-unit analysis, some files are, indeed,
separated sources for a program, so I didn't hesitate to filter them with
these patterns, according to the manual: "[abcdeBG]\.c" and "good1" (last
was associated with a 'bad' file, which was already filtered).
With this file_lists.txt, I run the static analyzer only for the false
positives, with this command:
< file_list.txt xargs -n 1 scan-build --use-analyzer /usr/bin/clang
-disable-checker deadcode.DeadStores -o buildres/ clang -c -I
testcasesupport -DOMITBAD -o /dev/null > /dev/null 2> warns.txt
so, it checks all the files in the file list, saves the results in buildres
and reports the warnings in warns.txt file, ignoring the DeadStores warns
because they're reported a lot often.
Well, there are tons of false positives, caused by the flow variants which
involve global and static variables, shadow variables usage, etc.
To the devs, I'd like to know which CWE are you interested, from the list I
attached on that email:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2014-February/035113.html .
About the results, if I have more time, I'll post some of them.
