Examples of errors detected by the V532 diagnostic

V532. Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'.


eMule Plus

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. emule customautocomplete.cpp 277


STDMETHODIMP CCustomAutoComplete::Next(...,
                                       ULONG *pceltFetched)
{
  ....
  if (pceltFetched != NULL)
    *pceltFetched++;
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: (*pceltFetched)++;


FCEUX

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. fceux xstring.cpp 444


void splitpath(const char* path, char* drv, char* dir,
               char* name, char* ext)
{
  const char* end; /* end of processed string */
  const char* p;  /* search pointer */
  const char* s;  /* copy pointer */
  ....
  for(s=p; s<end; )
    *s++;
  ....
}

I cannot understand at all what the programmer wanted to do here. This code is equivalent to s = end.


IPP Samples

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer--' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)--'. aac_enc sbr_enc_frame_gen.c 428


static void
sbrencConflictResolution (..., Ipp32s *nLeftBord)
{
  ....
  *nLeftBord = nBordNext - 1;
  ....
  if (*lenBordNext > 1) {
    ....
    *nLeftBord--;
  }
  ....
}

nLeftBord is used to return the value. This is what should have been written here: (*nLeftBord)--;


IPP Samples

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. mpeg2_dec umc_mpeg2_dec.cpp 59


static IppStatus mp2_HuffmanTableInitAlloc(Ipp32s *tbl, ...)
{
  ....
  for (i = 0; i < num_tbl; i++) {
    *tbl++;
  }
  ....
}

Meaningless code. Currently it is equivalent to tbl += num_tbl.


Apache HTTP Server

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. apriconv iconv_uc.c 114


apr_status_t
iconv_uc_conv(..., apr_size_t *res)
{
  ....
  if (size)
    *res ++;
  ....
}

This is what should have been written here: (*res)++;


DeSmuME

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. DeSmuME_VS2005 xstring.cpp 479


void splitpath(const char* path, char* drv, char* dir,
               char* name, char* ext)
{
  ....
  for(s=p; s<end; )
    *s++;
  ....
}

Meaningless code. Currently it is equivalent to s = end.


OpenSSL

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. cpstringutils.cpp 2741


void SkipWhiteSpace(char **ioSrcCharPtr,
                    const Boolean inStopAtEOL)
{
  ....
  while ((**ioSrcCharPtr == ' ' || **ioSrcCharPtr == '\t') &&
         **ioSrcCharPtr != '\r' && **ioSrcCharPtr != '\n')
  {
    *ioSrcCharPtr++;
  }
  ....
  while (**ioSrcCharPtr == ' ' || **ioSrcCharPtr == '\t')
  {
    *ioSrcCharPtr++;
  }
  ....
}

     return (linesInFile - 1);
  }
  ....
}

Godot Engine

V532 Consider inspecting the statement of '*pointer++' pattern. Probably meant: '(*pointer)++'. trex.c 506

  ...., const TRexChar *str, ....)

  {
    *str++;
