Examples of errors detected by the V545 diagnostic

V545. Conditional expression of 'if' statement is incorrect for the HRESULT type value 'Foo'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead.

VirtualDub

V545 Such conditional expression of 'if' operator is incorrect for the HRESULT type value 'AVIStreamInfoA(pas, & asi, sizeof asi)'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead. VirtualDub avireadhandlertunnelw32.cpp 230

#define STDAPI EXTERN_C HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE

STDAPI AVIStreamInfoA (PAVISTREAM pavi, LPAVISTREAMINFOA psi,
                       LONG lSize);

#define AVIStreamInfo AVIStreamInfoA

VDPosition AVIReadTunnelStream::TimeToPosition(VDTime timeInUs) {
  AVISTREAMINFO asi;
  if (AVIStreamInfo(pas, &asi, sizeof asi))
    return 0;

  return VDRoundToInt64(timeInUs * (double)asi.dwRate /
           (double)asi.dwScale * (1.0 / 1000000.0));
}

Qt

V545 Such conditional expression of 'if' operator is incorrect for the HRESULT type value '(HRESULT) 0L'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead. phonon_ds9 qbasefilter.cpp 60

STDMETHODIMP QEnumPins::QueryInterface(const IID &iid,void **out)
{
  ....
  if (S_OK)
    AddRef();
  return hr;
}

It works on a sheer luck. S_OK is 0, by the way. That is, we don't perform AddRef(). This is what should have been written here: if (hr == S_OK).

LibreOffice

V545 Such conditional expression of 'if' operator is incorrect for the HRESULT type value 'nRC'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead. winlayout.cxx 1115

bool UniscribeLayout::LayoutText( ImplLayoutArgs& rArgs )
{
  ....
  HRESULT nRC = ScriptItemize(....);
  if( !nRC ) // break loop when everything is correctly itemized
    break;
  ....
}

Apache HTTP Server

V545 Such conditional expression of 'if' operator is incorrect for the HRESULT type value 'SHGetMalloc(& pMalloc)'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead. apachemonitor.c 915

#define SHSTDAPI EXTERN_C DECLSPEC_IMPORT HRESULT STDAPICALLTYPE

SHSTDAPI SHGetMalloc(_Outptr_ IMalloc **ppMalloc);

LRESULT CALLBACK ConnectDlgProc(....)
{
  ....
  if (SHGetMalloc(&pMalloc)) {             // <=
   pMalloc->lpVtbl->Free(pMalloc, il);
   pMalloc->lpVtbl->Release(pMalloc);
  }
  ....

ANGLE

V545 CWE-253 Such conditional expression of 'if' statement is incorrect for the HRESULT type value '(HRESULT) 0x8007000EL'. The SUCCEEDED or FAILED macro should be used instead. renderer11.cpp 4048

typedef _Return_type_success_(return >= 0) long HRESULT;
#define _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(_sc) ((HRESULT)_sc)
#define E_OUTOFMEMORY _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(0x8007000EL)

gl::Error Renderer11::mapResource(....)
{
  HRESULT hr = mDeviceContext->Map(resource, subResource,
                                   mapType, mapFlags,
                                   mappedResource);
  if (FAILED(hr))
  {
    ....
    if (E_OUTOFMEMORY)
    {
      glError = gl::OutOfMemory() <<
                genericFailureMessage <<
                gl::FmtHR(hr);
    }
    return glError;
  }
  return gl::NoError();
}

Apparently, the correct condition must be as follows: if (hr == E_OUTOFMEMORY)
