Examples of errors detected by the V601 diagnostic

V601. Suspicious implicit type casting.


IPP Samples

V601 The 'false' value becomes a class object. me umc_vec_prediction.cpp 754


class MeMV
{
public:
  MeMV(){};
  MeMV(int a0){x = (Ipp16s)a0; y=(Ipp16s)a0;};
  MeMV(int a0, int a1){x = (Ipp16s)a0; y=(Ipp16s)a1;};
  ....
}

MeMV MePredictCalculatorVC1::GetPrediction8x8()
{
  ....
  default:
    return false;
  ....
}

Similar errors can be found in some other places:

  • V601 The 'false' value becomes a class object. me umc_vec_prediction.cpp 717

WebPagetest

V601 The bool type is implicitly cast to the integer type. Inspect the first argument. web_browser.cc 548


HANDLE WebBrowser::FindAdditionalHookProcess(
  HANDLE launched_process, CString exe)
{
  ....
  CString exe(proc.szExeFile);
  exe.MakeLower();
  if (exe.Find(_T("webkit2webprocess.exe") >= 0)) {
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: if (exe.Find(_T("webkit2webprocess.exe")) >= 0)


WebPagetest

V601 The bool type is implicitly cast to the integer type. Inspect the first argument. web_browser.cc 429


bool WebBrowser::FindBrowserChild(

  LPCTSTR browser_exe)
{
  ....
  CString exe(proc.szExeFile);
  exe.MakeLower();
  if (exe.Find(browser_exe >= 0)) {
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: if (exe.Find(browser_exe) >= 0)
