General Analysis (C++)
V501. Identical sub-expressions to the left and to the right of 'foo' operator.
V502. The '?:' operator may not work as expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the 'foo' operator.
V503. Nonsensical comparison: pointer < 0.
V504. Semicolon ';' is probably missing after the 'return' keyword.
V505. The 'alloca' function is used inside the loop. This can quickly overflow stack.
V506. Pointer to local variable 'X' is stored outside the scope of this variable. Such a pointer will become invalid.
V507. Pointer to local array 'X' is stored outside the scope of this array. Such a pointer will become invalid.
V508. The 'new type(n)' pattern was detected. Probably meant: 'new type[n]'.
V509. Exceptions raised inside noexcept functions must be wrapped in a try..catch block.
V510. The 'Foo' function receives class-type variable as Nth actual argument. This is unexpected behavior.
V511. The sizeof() operator returns pointer size instead of array size.
V512. Call of the 'Foo' function will lead to buffer overflow.
V513. Use _beginthreadex/_endthreadex functions instead of CreateThread/ExitThread functions.

V519. The 'x' variable is assigned values twice successively. Perhaps this is a mistake.
V520. Comma operator ',' in array index expression.
V521. Expressions that use comma operator ',' are dangerous. Make sure the expression is correct.

V529. Suspicious semicolon ';' after 'if/for/while' operator.
V530. Return value of 'Foo' function is required to be used.

V546. The 'Foo(Foo)' class member is initialized with itself.
V547. Expression is always true/false.
V548. TYPE X[][] is not equivalent to TYPE **X. Consider inspecting type casting.
V549. The 'first' argument of 'Foo' function is equal to the 'second' argument.

V564. The '&' or '|' operator is applied to bool type value. Check for missing parentheses or use the '&&' or '||' operator.
V565. Empty exception handler. Silent suppression of exceptions can hide errors in source code during testing.
V566. Integer constant is converted to pointer. Check for an error or bad coding style.
V567. Modification of variable is unsequenced relative to another operation on the same variable. This may lead to undefined behavior.
V568. It is suspicious that the argument of sizeof() operator is the expression.
V569. Truncation of constant value.
V570. Variable is assigned to itself.
V571. Recurring check. This condition was already verified in previous line.

V574. Pointer is used both as an array and as a pointer to single object.
V575. Function receives suspicious argument.
V576. Incorrect format. Consider checking the Nth actual argument of the 'Foo' function.
V577. Label is present inside switch(). Check for typos and consider using the 'default:' operator instead.

V586. The 'Foo' function is called twice to deallocate the same resource.
V587. Suspicious sequence of assignments: A = B; B = A;.
V588. Expression of the 'A =+ B' kind is used. Possibly meant: 'A += B'. Consider inspecting the expression.
V589. Expression of the 'A =- B' kind is used. Possibly meant: 'A -= B'. Consider inspecting the expression.
V590. Possible excessive expression or typo. Consider inspecting the expression.
V591. Non-void function must return value.
V592. Expression is enclosed by parentheses twice: ((expression)). One pair of parentheses is unnecessary or typo is present.

V595. Pointer was used before its check for nullptr. Check lines: N1, N2.
V596. Object was created but is not used. Check for missing 'throw' keyword.
V597. Compiler may delete 'memset' function call that is used to clear 'Foo' buffer. Use the RtlSecureZeroMemory() function to erase private data.
V598. Memory manipulation function is used to work with a class object containing a virtual table pointer. The result of such an operation may be unexpected.
V599. The virtual destructor is not present, although the 'Foo' class contains virtual functions.
V600. The 'Foo' pointer is always not equal to NULL. Consider inspecting the condition.
V601. Suspicious implicit type casting.
V602. The '<' operator should probably be replaced with '<<'. Consider inspecting this expression.

V628. It is possible that a line was commented out improperly, thus altering the program's operation logic.
V629. Bit shifting of the 32-bit value with a subsequent expansion to the 64-bit type. Consider inspecting the expression.
V630. The 'malloc' function is used to allocate memory for an array of objects that are classes containing constructors/destructors.
V631. Defining absolute path to file or directory is considered a poor coding style. Consider inspecting the 'Foo' function call.
V632. Argument is of the 'T' type. Consider inspecting the NN argument of the 'Foo' function.
V633. The '!=' operator should probably be used here. Consider inspecting the expression.
V634. Priority of '+' operation is higher than priority of '<<' operation. Consider using parentheses in the expression.
V635. Length should be probably multiplied by sizeof(wchar_t). Consider inspecting the expression.
V636. Expression was implicitly cast from integer type to real type. Consider using an explicit type cast to avoid overflow or loss of a fractional part.
V637. Use of two opposite conditions. The second condition is always false.
V638. Terminal null is present inside a string. Use of '\0xNN' characters. Probably meant: '\xNN'.
V639. One of closing ')' parentheses is probably positioned incorrectly. Consider inspecting the expression for function call.
V640. Code's operational logic does not correspond with its formatting.
V641. Buffer size is not a multiple of element size.
V642. Function result is saved inside the 'byte' type variable. Significant bits may be lost. This may break the program's logic.
V643. Suspicious pointer arithmetic. Value of 'char' type is added to a string pointer.
V644. Suspicious function declaration. Consider creating a 'T' type object.
V645. Function call may lead to buffer overflow. Bounds should not contain size of a buffer, but a number of characters it can hold.

V647. Value of 'A' type is assigned to a pointer of 'B' type.
V648. Priority of '&&' operation is higher than priority of '||' operation.
V649. Two 'if' statements with identical conditional expressions. The first 'if' statement contains function return. This means that the second 'if' statement is senseless.
V650. Type casting is used 2 times in a row. The '+' operation is executed. Probably meant: (T1)((T2)a + b).
V651. Suspicious operation of 'sizeof(X)/sizeof(T)' kind, where 'X' is of the 'class' type.
V652. Operation is executed 3 or more times in a row.
V653. Suspicious string consisting of two parts is used for initialization. Comma may be missing.
V654. Condition of a loop is always true/false.
V655. Strings were concatenated but not used. Consider inspecting the expression.
V656. Variables are initialized through the call to the same function. It's probably an error or un-optimized code.
V657. Function always returns the same value of NN. Consider inspecting the function.
V658. Value is subtracted from unsigned variable. It can result in an overflow. In such a case, the comparison operation may behave unexpectedly.
V659. Functions' declarations with 'Foo' name differ in 'const' keyword only, while these functions' bodies have different composition. It is suspicious and can possibly be an error.
V660. Program contains an unused label and function call: 'CC:AA()'. Probably meant: 'CC::AA()'.
V661. Suspicious expression 'A[B < C]'. Probably meant 'A[B] < C'.
V662. Different containers are used to set up initial and final values of iterator. Consider inspecting the loop expression.
V663. Infinite loop is possible. The 'cin.eof()' condition is insufficient to break from the loop. Consider adding the 'cin.fail()' function call to the conditional expression.
V664. Pointer is dereferenced on the initialization list before its check for null inside the body of a constructor function.
V665. Possible incorrect use of '#pragma warning(default: X)'. The '#pragma warning(push/pop)' should be used instead.
V666. Value may not correspond with the length of a string passed with YY argument. Consider inspecting the NNth argument of the 'Foo' function.
V667. The 'throw' operator does not have any arguments and is not located within the 'catch' block.
V668. Possible meaningless check for null, as memory was allocated using 'new' operator. Memory allocation will lead to an exception.
V669. Argument is a non-constant reference. The analyzer is unable to determine the position where this argument is modified. Consider checking the function for an error.
V670. Uninitialized class member is used to initialize another member. Remember that members are initialized in the order of their declarations inside a class.
V671. The 'swap' function may interchange a variable with itself.
V672. It is possible that creating a new variable is unnecessary. One of the function's arguments has the same name and this argument is a reference.
V673. More than N bits are required to store the value, but the expression evaluates to the T type which can only hold K bits.
V674. Expression contains a suspicious mix of integer and real types.
V675. Writing into read-only memory.
V676. Incorrect comparison of BOOL type variable with TRUE.
V677. Custom declaration of standard type. Consider using the declaration from system header files instead.
V678. Object is used as an argument to its own method. Consider checking the first actual argument of the 'Foo' function.
V679. The 'X' variable was not initialized. This variable is passed by reference to the 'Foo' function in which its value will be used.
V680. The 'delete A, B' expression only destroys the 'A' object. Then the ',' operator returns a resulting value from the right side of the expression.
V681. The language standard does not define order in which 'Foo' functions are called during evaluation of arguments.
V682. Suspicious literal: '/r'. It is possible that a backslash should be used instead: '\r'.
V683. The 'i' variable should probably be incremented instead of the 'n' variable. Consider inspecting the loop expression.
V684. Value of variable is not modified. It is possible that '1' should be present instead of '0'. Consider inspecting the expression.
V685. The expression contains a comma. Consider inspecting the return statement.
V686. Pattern A || (A && ...) was detected. The expression is excessive or contains a logical error.
V687. Size of array calculated by sizeof() operator was added to a pointer. It is possible that the number of elements should be calculated by sizeof(A)/sizeof(A[0]).
V688. The 'foo' local variable has the same name as one of class members. This can result in confusion.
V689. Destructor of 'Foo' class is not declared as virtual. A smart pointer may not destroy an object correctly.
V690. The class implements a copy constructor/operator=, but lacks the operator=/copy constructor.
V691. Empirical analysis. Possible typo inside the string literal. The 'foo' word is suspicious.
V692. Inappropriate attempt to append a null character to a string. To determine the length of a string by 'strlen' function correctly, use a string ending with a null terminator in the first place.
V693. It is possible that 'i < X.size()' should be used instead of 'X.size()'. Consider inspecting conditional expression of the loop.
V694. The condition (ptr - const_value) is only false if the value of a pointer equals a magic constant.
V695. Range intersections are possible within conditional expressions.
V696. The 'continue' operator will terminate 'do { ... } while (FALSE)' loop because the condition is always false.
V697. Number of elements in the allocated array equals the size of a pointer in bytes.
V698. Functions of strcmp() kind can return any values, not only -1, 0, or 1.
V699. It is possible that 'foo = bar == baz ? .... : ....' should be used here instead of 'foo = bar = baz ? .... : ....'. Consider inspecting the expression.
V700. It is suspicious that variable is initialized through itself. Consider inspecting the 'T foo = foo = x;' expression.
V701. Possible realloc() leak: when realloc() fails to allocate memory, original pointer is lost. Consider assigning realloc() to a temporary pointer.
V702. Classes should always be derived from std::exception (and alike) as 'public'.
V703. It is suspicious that the 'foo' field in derived class overwrites field in base class.
V704. The expression is always false on newer compilers. Avoid using 'this == 0' comparison.
V705. It is possible that 'else' block was forgotten or commented out, thus altering the program's operation logics.
V706. Suspicious division: sizeof(X) / Value. Size of every element in X array is not equal to divisor.
V707. Giving short names to global variables is considered to be bad practice.
V708. Dangerous construction is used: 'm[x] = m.size()', where 'm' is of 'T' class. This may lead to undefined behavior.
V709. Suspicious comparison found: 'a == b == c'. Remember that 'a == b == c' is not equal to 'a == b && b == c'.
V710. Suspicious declaration. There is no point to declare constant reference to a number.
V711. It is dangerous to create a local variable within a loop with a same name as a variable controlling this loop.
V712. Compiler may optimize out this loop or make it infinite. Use volatile variable(s) or synchronization primitives to avoid this.
V713. Pointer was used in the logical expression before its check for nullptr in the same logical expression.
V714. Variable is not passed into foreach loop by reference, but its value is changed inside of the loop.
V715. The 'while' operator has empty body. This pattern is suspicious.
V716. Suspicious type conversion: HRESULT -> BOOL (BOOL -> HRESULT).
V717. It is suspicious to cast object of base class V to derived class U.
V718. The 'Foo' function should not be called from 'DllMain' function.
V719. The switch statement does not cover all values of the enum.
V720. The 'SuspendThread' function is usually used when developing a debugger. See documentation for details.
V721. The VARIANT_BOOL type is used incorrectly. The true value (VARIANT_TRUE) is defined as -1.
V722. Abnormality within similar comparisons. It is possible that a typo is present inside the expression.
V723. Function returns a pointer to the internal string buffer of a local object, which will be destroyed.
V724. Converting integers or pointers to BOOL can lead to a loss of high-order bits. Non-zero value can become 'FALSE'.
V725. Dangerous cast of 'this' to 'void*' type in the 'Base' class, as it is followed by a subsequent cast to 'Class' type.
V726. Attempt to free memory containing the 'int A[10]' array by using the 'free(A)' function.
V727. Return value of 'wcslen' function is not multiplied by 'sizeof(wchar_t)'.
V728. Excessive check can be simplified. The '||' operator is surrounded by opposite expressions 'x' and '!x'.
V729. Function body contains the 'X' label that is not used by any 'goto' statements.
V730. Not all members of a class are initialized inside the constructor.
V731. The variable of char type is compared with pointer to string.
V732. Unary minus operator does not modify a bool type value.
V733. It is possible that macro expansion resulted in incorrect evaluation order.
V734. Excessive expression. Examine the substrings "abc" and "abcd".
V735. Possibly an incorrect HTML. The "</XX>" closing tag was encountered, while the "</YY>" tag was expected.
V736. The behavior is undefined for arithmetic or comparisons with pointers that do not point to members of the same array.
V737. It is possible that ',' comma is missing at the end of the string.
V738. Temporary anonymous object is used.
V739. EOF should not be compared with a value of the 'char' type. Consider using the 'int' type.
V740. Exception is of the 'int' type because NULL is defined as 0. Keyword 'nullptr' can be used for 'pointer' type exception.
V741. Use of the throw (a, b); pattern. It is possible that type name was omitted: throw MyException(a, b);.
V742. Function receives an address of a 'char' type variable instead of pointer to a buffer.
V743. The memory areas must not overlap. Use 'memmove' function.
V744. Temporary object is immediately destroyed after being created. Consider naming the object.
V745. A 'wchar_t *' type string is incorrectly converted to 'BSTR' type string.
V746. Object slicing. An exception should be caught by reference rather than by value.
V747. Suspicious expression inside parentheses. A function name may be missing.
V748. Memory for 'getline' function should be allocated only by 'malloc' or 'realloc' functions. Consider inspecting the first parameter of 'getline' function.
V749. Destructor of the object will be invoked a second time after leaving the object's scope.
V750. BSTR string becomes invalid. Notice that BSTR strings store their length before start of the text.
V751. Parameter is not used inside function's body.
V752. Creating an object with placement new requires a buffer of large size.
V753. The '&=' operation always sets a value of 'Foo' variable to zero.
V754. The expression of 'foo(foo(x))' pattern is excessive or contains an error.
V755. Copying from potentially tainted data source. Buffer overflow is possible.
V756. The 'X' counter is not used inside a nested loop. Consider inspecting usage of 'Y' counter.
V757. It is possible that an incorrect variable is compared with null after type conversion using 'dynamic_cast'.
V758. Reference was invalidated because of destruction of the temporary object returned by the function.
V759. Violated order of exception handlers. Exception caught by handler for base class.
V760. Two identical text blocks were detected. The second block starts with NN string.
V761. NN identical blocks were found.
V762. Consider inspecting virtual function arguments. See NN argument of function 'Foo' in derived class and base class.
V763. Parameter is always rewritten in function body before being used.
V764. Possible incorrect order of arguments passed to function.
V765. Compound assignment expression 'X += X + N' is suspicious. Consider inspecting it for a possible error.
V766. An item with the same key has already been added.
V767. Suspicious access to element by a constant index inside a loop.
V768. Variable is of enum type. It is suspicious that it is used as a variable of a Boolean-type.
V769. The pointer in the expression equals nullptr. The resulting value is meaningless and should not be used.
V770. Possible use of left shift operator instead of comparison operator.

V802. On 32-bit/64-bit platform, structure size can be reduced from N to K bytes by rearranging the fields according to their sizes in decreasing order.
V803. Decreased performance. It is more effective to use the prefix form of ++it. Replace iterator++ with ++iterator.
V804. Decreased performance. The 'Foo' function is called twice in the specified expression to calculate length of the same string.

V811. Decreased performance. Excessive type casting: string -> char * -> string.
V812. Decreased performance. Ineffective use of the 'count' function. It can possibly be replaced by the call to the 'find' function.

V832. It's better to use '= default;' syntax instead of empty body.
V833. Using 'std::move' function's with const object disables move semantics.
V834. Incorrect type of a loop variable. This leads to the variable binding to a temporary object instead of a range element.
V835. Passing cheap-to-copy argument by reference may lead to decreased performance.
V836. Expression's value is copied at the variable declaration. The variable is never modified. Consider declaring it as a reference.
V837. The 'emplace' / 'insert' function does not guarantee that arguments will not be copied or moved if there is no insertion. Consider using the 'try_emplace' function.
V838. Temporary object is constructed during lookup in ordered associative container. Consider using a container with heterogeneous lookup to avoid construction of temporary objects.
V839. Function returns a constant value. This may interfere with move semantics.

V3023. Consider inspecting this expression. The expression is excessive or contains a misprint.

Dec 14 2015

The analyzer has detected a suspicious code fragment with a redundant comparison. There may be a superfluous check, in which case the expression can be simplified, or an error, which should be fixed.

Consider the following example:

if (firstVal == 3 && firstVal != 5)

This code is redundant as the condition will be true if 'firstVal == 3', so the second part of the expression just makes no sense.

There are two possible explanations here:

1) The second check is just unnecessary and the expression can be simplified. If so, the correct version of that code should look like this:

if (firstVal == 3)

2) There is a bug in the expression; the programmer wanted to use a different variable instead of 'firstVal'. Then the correct version of the code should look as follows:

if (firstVal == 3 && secondVal != 5)

This diagnostic is classified as:

You can look at examples of errors detected by the V3023 diagnostic.
