Examples of errors detected by the V521 diagnostic

V521. Expressions that use comma operator ',' are dangerous. Make sure the expression is correct.


G3D Content Pak

V521 Such expressions using the ',' operator are dangerous. Make sure the expression '0, 0' is correct. graphics3D anyval.cpp 275


void AnyVal::serialize(G3D::TextOutput& t) const {
  ....
  const Matrix3& m = *(Matrix3*)m_value;
  ....
  t.printf("%10.5f, %10.5f, %10.5f,\n"
           "%10.5f, %10.5f, %10.5f,\n"
           "%10.5f, %10.5f, %10.5f)",
           m[0, 0], m[0, 1], m[0, 2],
           m[1, 0], m[1, 1], m[1, 2],
           m[2, 0], m[2, 1], m[2, 2]);
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: ...., m[0][0], m[0][1], ....


Lugaru

V521 Such expressions using the ',' operator are dangerous. Make sure the expression 'bleedx = 0, bleedy' is correct. Lugaru person.cpp 7815


Person::Person()
{
  ....
  bleeding = 0;
