#cppcheck — Public Fediverse posts

On MSVC, an enum by default is signed.
so an anonymous class enum like

enum { foo, bar, baz
} mFoo : 2;

Is not going to be that useful. #MSVC knows about it but only tells you on /Wall, not /W4.

Maybe #cppcheck could at least gain a check for it ?

#GCC and #clang seems to do the right thing

#cpp

I registered for #KDE #akademy andhave acquired plane tickets. So I'll be there. And I hope to see all of you fine people there.

Now I just need to book a hotel and prepare my talk about #cppcheck code analyzer in KDE continuous integration.

I think this is around my 10th in person Akademy.

Wow, #cppcheck actually found a real issue for a change: I was calling a virtual method from a destructor (this is #Cpp code). And of course, after staring at it for a minute, I realized I don't need that method to be virtual at all :)

(I intended this toot to be snarky and to say that it's the first time cppcheck found anything of importance, but I double-checked and it turns out it found me a different issue back in 2016. Considering I didn't pay a dime for this tool, the ROI is great.)
