default. To disable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule to the
project configuration file.
WARNING_FILTER += discard class="sqrt on Negative Value" |
CodeSonar ships with library models that allow it to recognize functions such as libm sqrt() that compute a square root. If one of these functions is called with a negative value in the input parameter parameter position, a warning will be issued.
If you have created a custom library model for some function f() in terms of one of these existing models, calls to f() will also be capable of triggering sqrt on Negative Value warnings.
#include <math.h>
double mysqrt(double d){
return sqrt(d) /* two 'sqrt on Negative Value' warnings reported here:
* - one with path starting in call_sqrtneg_one()
* - one with path starting in call_sqrtneg_ten()
*/
+ sqrt(d+5); /* one 'sqrt on Negative Value' warning reported here,
* with path starting in call_sqrtneg_ten()
*/
}
/* -1.0 is negative, -1.0 + 5 is not */
double call_sqrtneg_one(void){ return mysqrt(-1.0); }
/* -10.0 is negative, -10.0 + 5 is also negative */
double call_sqrtneg_ten(void){ return mysqrt(-10.0); }
The following configuration file parameters affect checks for this warning class.
