Примеры ошибок, обнаруженных с помощью диагностики V527

V527. The 'zero' value is assigned to pointer. Probably meant: *ptr = zero.

PNG library

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *new_key [79] = '\0'. graphics3D pngwutil.c 1283

png_size_t /* PRIVATE */
png_check_keyword(png_structp png_ptr, png_charp key,
                  png_charpp new_key)
{
  ....
  if (key_len > 79)
  {
    png_warning(png_ptr,
                "keyword length must be 1 - 79 characters");
    new_key[79] = '\0';
    key_len = 79;
  }
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: (*new_key)[79] = '\0';

Apache HTTP Server

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *tag->arg = '\0'. mod_headers mod_headers.c 330

typedef struct {
    const char* (*func)(request_rec *r,char *arg);
    char *arg;
} format_tag;

static char *parse_format_tag(apr_pool_t *p,
                              format_tag *tag,
                              const char **sa)
{
  ....
  tag->arg = '\0';
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: tag->arg = NULL; or tag->arg[0] = '\0';.

ReactOS

V527 It is odd that the L'\0' value is assigned to 'wchar_t' type pointer. Probably meant: *lpBackSlash = L'\0'. desk screensaver.c 453

static VOID
AddScreenSavers(HWND hwndDlg, PDATA pData)
{
  ....
  LPTSTR lpBackSlash;
  lpBackSlash = _tcsrchr(szSearchPath, _T('\\'));
  if (lpBackSlash != NULL)
  {
    lpBackSlash = '\0';
    SearchScreenSavers(hwndScreenSavers, szSearchPath, pData);
  }
}

The programmer simply zeroed the IpBackSlash pointer instead of throwing off everything after the last \ character. This is what should have been written here: *lpBackSlash = '\0';

Trans-Proteomic Pipeline

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *pEndAttrValue = '\0'. tpplib ramp.cpp 1856

RAMPREAL *readPeaks(RAMPFILE *pFI,
      ramp_fileoffset_t lScanIndex)
{
  ....
  else
  {
    const char* pEndAttrValue;
    pEndAttrValue =
      strchr(pBeginData + strlen("contentType=\"") + 1, '\"');
    pEndAttrValue  = '\0';
    fprintf(stderr, "%s Unsupported content type\n",
            pBeginData);
    return NULL;
  }
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: *pEndAttrValue = '\0';

Similar errors can be found in some other places:

• V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *pEndAttrValue = '\0'. tpplib ramp.cpp 1875
• V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *pEndAttrValue = '\0'. spectrast spectrast_ramp.cpp 1844
• V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *pEndAttrValue = '\0'. spectrast spectrast_ramp.cpp 1863

Scilab

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *last = '\0'. getenvb.c 24

void GetenvB(char *name, char *env, int len)
{
  int ierr = 0, one = 1;
  C2F(getenvc)(&ierr,name,env,&len,&one);
  if (ierr == 0)
  {
    char *last = &env[len-1];
    while ( *last == ' ' ) { last = '\0' ; }
    last--;
  }
  ....
}

Most likely this is what should be written here: while ( *last == ' ' ) { *last++ = '\0' ; }

Haiku Operation System

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *scratchPtr = '\0'. TextGapBuffer.cpp 228

const char*
TextGapBuffer::Text()
{
  const char* realText = RealText();

  if (fPasswordMode) {
    ....

    char* scratchPtr = fScratchBuffer;
    for (uint32 i = 0; i < numChars; i++) {
      memcpy(scratchPtr, B_UTF8_BULLET, bulletCharLen);
      scratchPtr += bulletCharLen;
    }
    scratchPtr = '\0';      // <=

    return fScratchBuffer;
  }

  return realText;
}

Tizen

V527 It is odd that the '\0' value is assigned to 'char' type pointer. Probably meant: *body[new_len] = '\0'. http_request.c 370

int _read_request_body(...., char **body)
{
  ....
  *body = realloc(*body, new_len + 1);
  ....
  memcpy(*body + curr_len, ptr, body_size);
  body[new_len] = '\0';                        // <=
  curr_len = new_len;
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: (*body)[new_len] = '\0';
