C / C++ rules
C and C++ are really performant languages and can be very error-prone. We all had core dumps and made pointer arithmetic errors! Thankfully, Codiga has hundreds of static analysis rules to flag potential errors in your C/C++ code, automate code reviews and merge with confidence.

knownEmptyContainer
Error prone
Informational

redundantInitialization
Error prone
Informational
Redundant initialization. The initialized value is overwritten before it is read.
sizeofFunctionCall
Error prone
Error
Found function call inside sizeof().
sizeofVoid
Error prone
Warning
Behaviour of 'sizeof(void)' is not covered by the ISO C standard.
sizeofwithsilentarraypointer
Error prone
Error
Using 'sizeof' on array given as function argument returns size of a pointer.
stlIfFind
Error prone
Error
Suspicious condition. The result of find() is an iterator
truncLongCastReturn
Error prone
Informational
int result is returned as long value. If the return value is long to avoid loss of information
uselessCallsRemove
Error prone
Error
