V527. The 'zero' value is assigned to pointer. Probably meant: *ptr = zero.
This error occurs in two similar cases.
1) The analyzer found a potential error: a pointer to bool type is assigned false value. It is highly probable that the pointer dereferencing operation is missing. For example:
float Get(bool *retStatus)
{
...
if (retStatus != nullptr)
retStatus = false;
...
}The '*' operator is missing in this code. The operation of nulling the retStatus pointer will be performed instead of status return. This is the correct code:
if (retStatus != nullptr)
*retStatus = false;2) The analyzer found a potential error: a pointer referring to the char/wchar_t type is assigned value '\0' or L'\0'. It is highly probable that the pointer dereferencing operation is missing. For example:
char *cp;
...
cp = '\0';This is the correct code:
char *cp;
...
*cp = '\0';This diagnostic is classified as:
