CodeQL library for C/C++

codeql/cpp-all 0.12.11 (changelog, source)

Module Overflow

Provides predicates for reasoning about when the value of an expression is guarded by an operation such as <, which confines its range.

Import path

import semmle.code.cpp.security.Overflow

Imports

Dominance	Provides dominance predicates for control-flow nodes.
Guards	Provides classes and predicates for reasoning about guards and the control flow elements controlled by those guards.
RangeAnalysisUtils
SimpleRangeAnalysis	Simple range analysis library. Range analysis is usually done as an abstract interpretation over the lattice of range values. (A range is a pair, containing a lower and upper bound for the value.) The problem with this approach is that the lattice is very tall, which means it can take an extremely large number of iterations to find the least fixed point. This example illustrates the problem:
cpp	Provides classes and predicates for working with C/C++ code.

Predicates

guardedAbs	Holds if the value of `use` is guarded using `abs`.
guardedGreater	Holds if the value of `use` is guarded to be greater than something, and `e` is in code controlled by that guard (where the guard condition held).
guardedLesser	Holds if the value of `use` is guarded to be less than something, and `e` is in code controlled by that guard (where the guard condition held).
missingGuardAgainstOverflow	Holds if `e` potentially overflows and `use` is an operand of `e` that is not guarded.
missingGuardAgainstUnderflow	Holds if `e` potentially underflows and `use` is an operand of `e` that is not guarded.
varUse	Gets a use of a given variable `v`.
