Properties

Class Name Pointer Type Inside Typedef
Significance style
Mnemonic LANG.STRUCT.PIT
Categories
CWE CWE:710 Improper Adherence to Coding Standards
CERT-C CERT-C:DCL05-C Use typedefs of non-pointer types only
POW10 POW10:9 Limit the use of pointers. Use no more than two levels of dereferencing per expression.
JPL JPL:28 Do not hide dereference operations inside macros or typedefs.
Availability Available for C and C++.
Enabling Checks for this warning class are disabled by default, and require the unnormalized C ASTs for the project. To enable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule and RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST specification to the project configuration file. 
RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST = Yes
WARNING_FILTER += allow class="Pointer Type Inside Typedef"
Note that retaining the unnormalized ASTs will increase the disk space used to store the project representation, and may make the analysis take longer.

Example 

typedef int** mytype_t;    /* 'Pointer Type Inside Typedef' warning issued here */

Relevant Configuration File Parameters

The following configuration file parameters affect checks for this warning class.
