A simple program with splint run with 'splint a.c':
binch at binch:/tmp$ splint b.c
Splint 3.1.1 --- 20 Jun 2006
b.c: (in function main)
b.c:6:2: Path with no return in function declared to return int
There is a path through a function declared to return a value on which
there
is no return statement. This means the execution may fall through without
returning a meaningful result to the caller. (Use -noret to inhibit
warning)
b.c:1:5: Variable exported but not used outside b: b
A declaration is exported, but not used outside this module.
Declaration can
use static qualifier. (Use -exportlocal to inhibit warning)
Finished checking --- 2 code warnings
binch at binch:/tmp$ cat b.c
int b[3];
main()
{
b[8] = 5;
}
I can't believe that splint can't point out the overflow, maybe I miss
some argument to invoke splint?
Thanks in advance.
