linux下splint检测C语言代码质量

在linux下并没有pclint，可以使用splint代替。
splint使用
一.splint介绍
splint是一个静态检查C语言程序安全弱点和编写错误的工具。splint会进行多种常规检查,包括未使 用的变量,类型不一致,使用未定义变量,无法执行的代码,忽略返回值,执行路径未返回,无限循环等错误。同 时通过在源码中添加注记给出的附加信息，使其可以进行功能更加强大的检查。而注记，则是对文件中的函数、变 量、参数以及类型进行假定的一种的程式化的注释。
二.splint的安装
下载地址:

http://www.splint.org/downloads/splint-3.1.2.src.tgz

文件: splint-3.1.2-src.tar.gz
大小: 2272KB
下载: 下载

源码包安装:

tar zxvf splint-3.1.2.src.tgz

cd splint-3.1.2

mkdir /usr/local/splint

./configure –prefix=/usr/local/splint

make install

vi ~/.bashrc

添加:
export LARCH_PATH=/usr/local/splint/share/splint/lib
export LCLIMPORTDIR=/usr/local/splint/share/splint/import

source ~/.bashrc

export PATH=/usr/local/splint/bin/splint:$PATH

三.splint的使用
1.空引用错误

在引用没有指向任何内存地址的指针时,会导致这种错误.也就是使用了一个没有赋值的指针.
splint支持一种特别的注释.这种注释写在C程序代码中,用于对程序进行特殊说明.
如下面这段程序.使用了/@null@/进行了说明,表示说明*s的值可能会是NULL.

//null.c
char firstChar1 (/@null@/ char *s)
{
return *s;
}

char firstChar2 (/@null@/ char *s)
{
if (s ==NULL) return ‘\0’;
return *s;
}
//END

使用splint扫描这个程序时,会输出:

splint null.c

Splint 3.1.1 — 28 Apr 2005
null.c: (in function firstChar1)
null.c:3:11: Dereference of possibly null pointer s: *s
null.c:1:35: Storage s may become null
Finished checking — 1 code warning found
由于firstChar1和firstChar2都使用了null说明,表示指针s可能是个NULL值.
所以,splint会对s值的使用情况进行检查.因为firstChar2函数中,对s的值进行
了NULL的判断.所以,没有对firstChar2函数的指针s输出警告信息.

2.未定义的变量错误

C语言中,要求先定义变量,而后才可使用.所以,当使用一个没有定义的变量时,编译就会出错.
如下例,使用/@in@/说明的变量,表示必须进行定义.使用/@out@/说明的变量,表示在 执行过此函数后,这个变量就进行了定义.

// usedef.c
extern void setVal (/@out@/ int *x);
extern int getVal (/@in@/ int *x);
extern int mysteryVal (int *x);
int dumbfunc (/@out@/ int *x, int i)
{
if (i > 3) return *x;
else if (i > 1)
return getVal (x);
else if (i == 0)
return mysteryVal (x);
else
{
setVal (x);
return *x;
}
}
// END

使用splint检查usedef.c

$ splint usedef.c
Splint 3.1.1 — 28 Apr 2005

usedef.c: (in function dumbfunc)
usedef.c:7:19: Value *x used before definition
An rvalue is used that may not be initialized to a value on some execution
path. (Use -usedef to inhibit warning)
usedef.c:9:18: Passed storage x not completely defined (*x is undefined):
getVal (x)
Storage derivable from a parameter, return value or global is not defined.
Use /@out@/ to denote passed or returned storage which need not be defined.
(Use -compdef to inhibit warning)
usedef.c:11:22: Passed storage x not completely defined (*x is undefined):
mysteryVal (x)

Finished checking — 3 code warnings
//错误原因: 由于程序中没有对x进行定义,所以报未定义错误.但setVal()使用了/@out@/ 说明,所以
在setVal(x);和return x;中,没有报未定义错误.

3.类型错误

C语言中的数据类型较多,各个之间有些细微差别.splint也可以对变量类型进行检查.

示例1:

//bool.c
int f (int i, char *s,bool b1, bool b2)
{
if (i = 3) return b1;
if (!i || s) return i;
if (s) return 7;
if (b1 == b2)
return 3;
return 2;
}
//END

使用splint进行检查:

$ splint bool.c
Splint 3.1.1 — 28 Apr 2005

bool.c: (in function f)
bool.c:4:5: Test expression for if is assignment expression: i = 3
The condition test is an assignment expression. Probably, you mean to use ==
instead of =. If an assignment is intended, add an extra parentheses nesting
(e.g., if ((a = b)) …) to suppress this message. (Use -predassign to
inhibit warning)
// 错误原因: if语句中的条件表达式是一个赋值语句.
bool.c:4:5: Test expression for if not boolean, type int: i = 3
Test expression type is not boolean or int. (Use -predboolint to inhibit
warning)
// 错误原因: if语句中的条件表达式的返回值,不是布尔型,而是整型.
bool.c:4:8: Return value type bool does not match declared type int: b1
Types are incompatible. (Use -type to inhibit warning)
// 错误原因: 返回值是布尔型,而不是整型.
bool.c:5:6: Operand of ! is non-boolean (int): !i
The operand of a boolean operator is not a boolean. Use +ptrnegate to allow !
to be used on pointers. (Use -boolops to inhibit warning)
// 错误原因: “!”操作符的操作数不是布尔型,而是整型i.
bool.c:5:11: Right operand of || is non-boolean (char *): !i || s
// 错误原因: “||”操作符的右操作数不是布尔型,而是字符指针.
bool.c:7:5: Use of == with boolean variables (risks inconsistency because of
multiple true values): b1 == b2
Two bool values are compared directly using a C primitive. This may produce
unexpected results since all non-zero values are considered true, so
different true values may not be equal. The file bool.h (included in
splint/lib) provides bool_equal for safe bool comparisons. (Use -boolcompare
to inhibit warning)
// 错误原因: 使用”==”对两个布尔型进行比较.应该使用”&&”.

Finished checking — 6 code warnings
