==================
Available Checkers
==================

The analyzer performs checks that are categorized into families or "checkers".

The default set of checkers covers a variety of checks targeted at finding security and API usage bugs,
dead code, and other logic errors. See the :ref:`default-checkers` checkers list below.

In addition to these, the analyzer contains a number of :ref:`alpha-checkers` (aka *alpha* checkers).
These checkers are under development and are switched off by default. They may crash or emit a higher number of false positives.

The :ref:`debug-checkers` package contains checkers for analyzer developers for debugging purposes.

.. _cplusplus-checkers:


cplusplus
^^^^^^^^^

C++ Checkers.

.. _cplusplus-InnerPointer:

cplusplus.InnerPointer (C++)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Check for inner pointers of C++ containers used after re/deallocation.

Many container methods in the C++ standard library are known to invalidate
"references" (including actual references, iterators and raw pointers) to
elements of the container. Using such references after they are invalidated
causes undefined behavior, which is a common source of memory errors in C++ that
this checker is capable of finding.

The checker is currently limited to ``std::string`` objects and doesn't
recognize some of the more sophisticated approaches to passing unowned pointers
around, such as ``std::string_view``.

.. code-block:: cpp

 void deref_after_assignment() {
   std::string s = "llvm";
   const char *c = s.data(); // note: pointer to inner buffer of 'std::string' obtained here
   s = "clang"; // note: inner buffer of 'std::string' reallocated by call to 'operator='
   consume(c); // warn: inner pointer of container used after re/deallocation
 }

 const char *return_temp(int x) {
   return std::to_string(x).c_str(); // warn: inner pointer of container used after re/deallocation
   // note: pointer to inner buffer of 'std::string' obtained here
   // note: inner buffer of 'std::string' deallocated by call to destructor
 }

.. _cplusplus-NewDelete:

cplusplus.NewDelete (C++)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
Check for double-free and use-after-free problems. Traces memory managed by new/delete.

.. literalinclude:: checkers/newdelete_example.cpp
    :language: cpp

.. _cplusplus-NewDeleteLeaks:

cplusplus.NewDeleteLeaks (C++)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Check for memory leaks. Traces memory managed by new/delete.

.. code-block:: cpp

 void test() {
   int *p = new int;
 } // warn

.. _cplusplus-PlacementNewChecker:

cplusplus.PlacementNewChecker (C++)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Check if default placement new is provided with pointers to sufficient storage capacity.

.. code-block:: cpp

 #include <new>

 void f() {
   short s;
   long *lp = ::new (&s) long; // warn
 }

.. _cplusplus-SelfAssignment:

cplusplus.SelfAssignment (C++)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Checks C++ copy and move assignment operators for self assignment.

.. _cplusplus-StringChecker:

cplusplus.StringChecker (C++)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Checks std::string operations.

Checks if the cstring pointer from which the ``std::string`` object is
constructed is ``NULL`` or not.
If the checker cannot reason about the nullness of the pointer it will assume
that it was non-null to satisfy the precondition of the constructor.

This checker is capable of checking the `SEI CERT C++ coding rule STR51-CPP.
Do not attempt to create a std::string from a null pointer
<https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/x/E3s-BQ>`__.

.. code-block:: cpp

 #include <string>

 void f(const char *p) {
   if (!p) {
     std::string msg(p); // warn: The parameter must not be null
   }
 }

.. _deadcode-checkers:

deadcode
^^^^^^^^

Dead Code Checkers.

.. _deadcode-DeadStores:

deadcode.DeadStores (C)
"""""""""""""""""""""""
Check for values stored to variables that are never read afterwards.

.. code-block:: c

 void test() {
   int x;
   x = 1; // warn
 }

The ``WarnForDeadNestedAssignments`` option enables the checker to emit
warnings for nested dead assignments. You can disable with the
``-analyzer-config deadcode.DeadStores:WarnForDeadNestedAssignments=false``.
*Defaults to true*.

Would warn for this e.g.:
if ((y = make_int())) {
}

.. _nullability-checkers:

nullability
^^^^^^^^^^^

Objective C checkers that warn for null pointer passing and dereferencing errors.

.. _nullability-NullPassedToNonnull:

nullability.NullPassedToNonnull (ObjC)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Warns when a null pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.

.. code-block:: objc

 if (name != nil)
   return;
 // Warning: nil passed to a callee that requires a non-null 1st parameter
 NSString *greeting = [@"Hello " stringByAppendingString:name];

.. _nullability-NullReturnedFromNonnull:

nullability.NullReturnedFromNonnull (ObjC)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Warns when a null pointer is returned from a function that has _Nonnull return type.

.. code-block:: objc

 - (nonnull id)firstChild {
   id result = nil;
   if ([_children count] > 0)
     result = _children[0];

   // Warning: nil returned from a method that is expected
   // to return a non-null value
   return result;
 }

.. _nullability-NullableDereferenced:

nullability.NullableDereferenced (ObjC)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Warns when a nullable pointer is dereferenced.

.. code-block:: objc

   int data;
   struct LinkedList *next;
 };

 struct LinkedList * _Nullable getNext(struct LinkedList *l);

 void updateNextData(struct LinkedList *list, int newData) {
   struct LinkedList *next = getNext(list);
   // Warning: Nullable pointer is dereferenced
   next->data = 7;
 }

.. _nullability-NullablePassedToNonnull:

nullability.NullablePassedToNonnull (ObjC)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Warns when a nullable pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.

.. code-block:: objc

 typedef struct Dummy { int val; } Dummy;
 Dummy *_Nullable returnsNullable();
 void takesNonnull(Dummy *_Nonnull);

 void test() {

optin
^^^^^

Checkers for portability, performance or coding style specific rules.

.. _optin-cplusplus-UninitializedObject:

optin.cplusplus.UninitializedObject (C++)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This checker reports uninitialized fields in objects created after a constructor
call. It doesn't only find direct uninitialized fields, but rather makes a deep
inspection of the object, analyzing all of its fields' subfields.
The checker regards inherited fields as direct fields, so one will receive
warnings for uninitialized inherited data members as well.

.. code-block:: cpp

 // With Pedantic and CheckPointeeInitialization set to true

 struct A {
   struct B {
     int x; // note: uninitialized field 'this->b.x'
     // note: uninitialized field 'this->bptr->x'
     int y; // note: uninitialized field 'this->b.y'
     // note: uninitialized field 'this->bptr->y'
   };
   int *iptr; // note: uninitialized pointer 'this->iptr'
   B b;
   B *bptr;
   char *cptr; // note: uninitialized pointee 'this->cptr'

   A (B *bptr, char *cptr) : bptr(bptr), cptr(cptr) {}
 };

 void f() {
   A::B b;
   char c;
   A a(&b, &c); // warning: 6 uninitialized fields
  //          after the constructor call
 }

 // With Pedantic set to false and
 // CheckPointeeInitialization set to true
 // (every field is uninitialized)

 struct A {
   struct B {
     int x;
     int y;
   };
   int *iptr;
   B b;
   B *bptr;
   char *cptr;

   A (B *bptr, char *cptr) : bptr(bptr), cptr(cptr) {}
 };

 void f() {
   A::B b;
   char c;
   A a(&b, &c); // no warning
 }

 // With Pedantic set to true and
 // CheckPointeeInitialization set to false
 // (pointees are regarded as initialized)

 struct A {
   struct B {
     int x; // note: uninitialized field 'this->b.x'
     int y; // note: uninitialized field 'this->b.y'
   };
   int *iptr; // note: uninitialized pointer 'this->iptr'
   B b;
   B *bptr;
   char *cptr;

   A (B *bptr, char *cptr) : bptr(bptr), cptr(cptr) {}
 };

 void f() {
   A::B b;
   char c;
   A a(&b, &c); // warning: 3 uninitialized fields
  //          after the constructor call
 }


**Options**

This checker has several options which can be set from command line (e.g.
``-analyzer-config optin.cplusplus.UninitializedObject:Pedantic=true``):

* ``Pedantic`` (boolean). If to false, the checker won't emit warnings for
  objects that don't have at least one initialized field. Defaults to false.

* ``NotesAsWarnings``  (boolean). If set to true, the checker will emit a
  warning for each uninitialized field, as opposed to emitting one warning per
  constructor call, and listing the uninitialized fields that belongs to it in
  notes. *Defaults to false*.

* ``CheckPointeeInitialization`` (boolean). If set to false, the checker will
  not analyze the pointee of pointer/reference fields, and will only check
  whether the object itself is initialized. *Defaults to false*.

* ``IgnoreRecordsWithField`` (string). If supplied, the checker will not analyze
  structures that have a field with a name or type name that matches  the given
  pattern. *Defaults to ""*.

WebKit
^^^^^^

WebKit is an open-source web browser engine available for macOS, iOS and Linux.
This section describes checkers that can find issues in WebKit codebase.

Most of the checkers focus on memory management for which WebKit uses custom implementation of reference counted smartpointers.

Checkers are formulated in terms related to ref-counting:
 - *Ref-counted type* is either ``Ref<T>`` or ``RefPtr<T>``.
 - *Ref-countable type* is any type that implements ``ref()`` and ``deref()`` methods as ``RefPtr<>`` is a template (i. e. relies on duck typing).
 - *Uncounted type* is ref-countable but not ref-counted type.

.. _webkit-RefCntblBaseVirtualDtor:

webkit.RefCntblBaseVirtualDtor
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
All uncounted types used as base classes must have a virtual destructor.

Ref-counted types hold their ref-countable data by a raw pointer and allow implicit upcasting from ref-counted pointer to derived type to ref-counted pointer to base type. This might lead to an object of (dynamic) derived type being deleted via pointer to the base class type which C++ standard defines as UB in case the base class doesn't have virtual destructor ``[expr.delete]``.

.. code-block:: cpp

 struct RefCntblBase {
   void ref() {}
   void deref() {}
 };

 struct Derived : RefCntblBase { }; // warn

.. _webkit-NoUncountedMemberChecker:

webkit.NoUncountedMemberChecker

   void deref() {}
 };

 struct Foo {
   RefCntbl * ptr; // warn
   RefCntbl & ptr; // warn
   // ...
 };

.. _webkit-UncountedLambdaCapturesChecker:

webkit.UncountedLambdaCapturesChecker

.. _alpha-security-MallocOverflow:

alpha.security.MallocOverflow (C)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Check for overflows in the arguments to ``malloc()``.
It tries to catch ``malloc(n * c)`` patterns, where:

 - ``n``: a variable or member access of an object
 - ``c``: a constant foldable integral

This checker was designed for code audits, so expect false-positive reports.
One is supposed to silence this checker by ensuring proper bounds checking on
the variable in question using e.g. an ``assert()`` or a branch.

.. code-block:: c

 void test(int n) {
   void *p = malloc(n * sizeof(int)); // warn
 }

 void test2(int n) {
   if (n > 100) // gives an upper-bound
     return;
   void *p = malloc(n * sizeof(int)); // no warning
 }

 void test3(int n) {
   assert(n <= 100 && "Contract violated.");
   void *p = malloc(n * sizeof(int)); // no warning
 }

Limitations:

 - The checker won't warn for variables involved in explicit casts,
   since that might limit the variable's domain.
   E.g.: ``(unsigned char)int x`` would limit the domain to ``[0,255]``.
   The checker will miss the true-positive cases when the explicit cast would
   not tighten the domain to prevent the overflow in the subsequent
   multiplication operation.

 - It is an AST-based checker, thus it does not make use of the
   path-sensitive taint-analysis.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Corresponds to SEI CERT Rules ENV31-C and ENV34-C.

ENV31-C:
Rule is about the possible problem with `main` function's third argument, environment pointer,
"envp". When enviornment array is modified using some modification function
such as putenv, setenv or others, It may happen that memory is reallocated,
however "envp" is not updated to reflect the changes and points to old memory
region.

ENV34-C:
Some functions return a pointer to a statically allocated buffer.
Consequently, subsequent call of these functions will invalidate previous
pointer. These functions include: getenv, localeconv, asctime, setlocale, strerror

.. code-block:: c

  int main(int argc, const char *argv[], const char *envp[]) {
    if (setenv("MY_NEW_VAR", "new_value", 1) != 0) {
      // setenv call may invalidate 'envp'

    }
    if (envp != NULL) {
      for (size_t i = 0; envp[i] != NULL; ++i) {
        puts(envp[i]);
        // envp may no longer point to the current environment
        // this program has unanticipated behavior, since envp
        // does not reflect changes made by setenv function.

alpha.security.taint
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Checkers implementing `taint analysis <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_checking>`_.

.. _alpha-security-taint-TaintPropagation:

alpha.security.taint.TaintPropagation (C, C++)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Taint analysis identifies untrusted sources of information (taint sources), rules as to how the untrusted data flows along the execution path (propagation rules), and points of execution where the use of tainted data is risky (taints sinks).
The most notable examples of taint sources are:

  - network originating data
  - environment variables
  - database originating data

``GenericTaintChecker`` is the main implementation checker for this rule, and it generates taint information used by other checkers.

.. code-block:: c

 void test() {
   char x = getchar(); // 'x' marked as tainted
   system(&x); // warn: untrusted data is passed to a system call
 }

 // note: compiler internally checks if the second param to
 // sprintf is a string literal or not.
 // Use -Wno-format-security to suppress compiler warning.
 void test() {
   char s[10], buf[10];
   fscanf(stdin, "%s", s); // 's' marked as tainted

   sprintf(buf, s); // warn: untrusted data as a format string
 }

 void test() {
   size_t ts;
   scanf("%zd", &ts); // 'ts' marked as tainted
   int *p = (int *)malloc(ts * sizeof(int));
     // warn: untrusted data as buffer size
 }

There are built-in sources, propagations and sinks defined in code inside ``GenericTaintChecker``.
These operations are handled even if no external taint configuration is provided.

Default sources defined by ``GenericTaintChecker``:
``fdopen``, ``fopen``, ``freopen``, ``getch``, ``getchar``, ``getchar_unlocked``, ``gets``, ``scanf``, ``socket``, ``wgetch``

Default propagations defined by ``GenericTaintChecker``:
``atoi``, ``atol``, ``atoll``, ``fgetc``, ``fgetln``, ``fgets``, ``fscanf``, ``sscanf``, ``getc``, ``getc_unlocked``, ``getdelim``, ``getline``, ``getw``, ``pread``, ``read``, ``strchr``, ``strrchr``, ``tolower``, ``toupper``

Default sinks defined in ``GenericTaintChecker``:
``printf``, ``setproctitle``, ``system``, ``popen``, ``execl``, ``execle``, ``execlp``, ``execv``, ``execvp``, ``execvP``, ``execve``, ``dlopen``, ``memcpy``, ``memmove``, ``strncpy``, ``strndup``, ``malloc``, ``calloc``, ``alloca``, ``memccpy``, ``realloc``, ``bcopy``

The user can configure taint sources, sinks, and propagation rules by providing a configuration file via checker option ``alpha.security.taint.TaintPropagation:Config``.

External taint configuration is in `YAML <http://llvm.org/docs/YamlIO.html#introduction-to-yaml>`_ format. The taint-related options defined in the config file extend but do not override the built-in sources, rules, sinks.
The format of the external taint configuration file is not stable, and could change without any notice even in a non-backward compatible way.

For a more detailed description of configuration options, please see the :doc:`user-docs/TaintAnalysisConfiguration`. For an example see :ref:`clangsa-taint-configuration-example`.

alpha.WebKit
^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. _alpha-webkit-UncountedCallArgsChecker:

alpha.webkit.UncountedCallArgsChecker
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The goal of this rule is to make sure that lifetime of any dynamically allocated ref-countable object passed as a call argument spans past the end of the call. This applies to call to any function, method, lambda, function pointer or functor. Ref-countable types aren't supposed to be allocated on stack so we check arguments for parameters of raw pointers and references to uncounted types.

Here are some examples of situations that we warn about as they *might* be potentially unsafe. The logic is that either we're able to guarantee that an argument is safe or it's considered if not a bug then bug-prone.

  .. code-block:: cpp

    RefCountable* provide_uncounted();
    void consume(RefCountable*);

    // In these cases we can't make sure callee won't directly or indirectly call `deref()` on the argument which could make it unsafe from such point until the end of the call.

    void foo1() {
      consume(provide_uncounted()); // warn
    }

    void foo2() {
      RefCountable* uncounted = provide_uncounted();
      consume(uncounted); // warn
    }

Although we are enforcing member variables to be ref-counted by `webkit.NoUncountedMemberChecker` any method of the same class still has unrestricted access to these. Since from a caller's perspective we can't guarantee a particular member won't get modified by callee (directly or indirectly) we don't consider values obtained from members safe.

Note: It's likely this heuristic could be made more precise with fewer false positives - for example calls to free functions that don't have any parameter other than the pointer should be safe as the callee won't be able to tamper with the member unless it's a global variable.

  .. code-block:: cpp

    struct Foo {
      RefPtr<RefCountable> member;
      void consume(RefCountable*) { /* ... */ }
      void bugprone() {
        consume(member.get()); // warn
      }
    };

The implementation of this rule is a heuristic - we define a whitelist of kinds of values that are considered safe to be passed as arguments. If we can't prove an argument is safe it's considered an error.

Allowed kinds of arguments:

- values obtained from ref-counted objects (including temporaries as those survive the call too)

  .. code-block:: cpp

    RefCountable* provide_uncounted();
    void consume(RefCountable*);

    void foo() {
      RefPtr<RefCountable> rc = makeRef(provide_uncounted());
      consume(rc.get()); // ok
      consume(makeRef(provide_uncounted()).get()); // ok
    }

- forwarding uncounted arguments from caller to callee

  .. code-block:: cpp

    void foo(RefCountable& a) {
      bar(a); // ok
    }

  Caller of ``foo()`` is responsible for  ``a``'s lifetime.

- ``this`` pointer

  .. code-block:: cpp

    void Foo::foo() {
      baz(this);  // ok
    }

  Caller of ``foo()`` is responsible for keeping the memory pointed to by ``this`` pointer safe.

- constants

  .. code-block:: cpp

    foo(nullptr, NULL, 0); // ok

We also define a set of safe transformations which if passed a safe value as an input provide (usually it's the return value) a safe value (or an object that provides safe values). This is also a heuristic.

- constructors of ref-counted types (including factory methods)
- getters of ref-counted types
- member overloaded operators
- casts
- unary operators like ``&`` or ``*``

alpha.webkit.UncountedLocalVarsChecker
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The goal of this rule is to make sure that any uncounted local variable is backed by a ref-counted object with lifetime that is strictly larger than the scope of the uncounted local variable. To be on the safe side we require the scope of an uncounted variable to be embedded in the scope of ref-counted object that backs it.

These are examples of cases that we consider safe:

  .. code-block:: cpp

    void foo1() {
      RefPtr<RefCountable> counted;
      // The scope of uncounted is EMBEDDED in the scope of counted.
      {
        RefCountable* uncounted = counted.get(); // ok
      }
    }

    void foo2(RefPtr<RefCountable> counted_param) {
      RefCountable* uncounted = counted_param.get(); // ok
    }

    void FooClass::foo_method() {
      RefCountable* uncounted = this; // ok
    }

Here are some examples of situations that we warn about as they *might* be potentially unsafe. The logic is that either we're able to guarantee that an argument is safe or it's considered if not a bug then bug-prone.

  .. code-block:: cpp

    void foo1() {
      RefCountable* uncounted = new RefCountable; // warn
    }

    RefCountable* global_uncounted;
    void foo2() {
      RefCountable* uncounted = global_uncounted; // warn
    }

    void foo3() {
      RefPtr<RefCountable> counted;
      // The scope of uncounted is not EMBEDDED in the scope of counted.
      RefCountable* uncounted = counted.get(); // warn
    }

We don't warn about these cases - we don't consider them necessarily safe but since they are very common and usually safe we'd introduce a lot of false positives otherwise:
- variable defined in condition part of an ```if``` statement
- variable defined in init statement condition of a ```for``` statement

For the time being we also don't warn about uninitialized uncounted local variables.
