Triggers

CodeSonar ships with library models that allow it to recognize functions such as libm cosh() that compute a hyperbolic cosine. If one of these functions is called with a value greater than 710.5 in the input 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 cosh on High Number warnings.

Example

#include <math.h>

double call_cosh(double ind){
    double a = cosh(1);                              /* ok */
    double b = cosh(710.5);                          /* ok */
    double c = cosh((float)(7.105f*100)); /* 'cosh on High Number' warning issued here:
                                           * because of floating point imprecision, 7.105f*100 > 710.5
                                           */
    double d = cosh(711);                 /* 'cosh on High Number' warning issued here */
    double e = cosh(ind);                 /* EVIDENCED ONLY: 'cosh on High Number' warning issued here
                                           * if CodeSonar has evidence that a negative value is passed to
                                           * call_cosh().
                                           */
    return a+b+c+d+e;
}
