The analyzer has detected a potential error in the code allocating memory. A pointer returned by the 'malloc' function or any other similar function is summed up with some number. It is very strange and it's highly probable that the code contains a misprint.
Consider this sample:
a = ((int *)(malloc(sizeof(int)*(3+5)))+2);The expression contains many extraneous parentheses and the programmer must have got mixed up in them. Let's simplify this code to make it clearer:
a = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*8);
a += 2;It's very strange to add number 2 to the pointer. Even if it should be so and the code is correct, it is very dangerous. For example, you might easily forget that memory should be free this way: "free(a - 2);".
This is the correct code:
a = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*(3+5+2));This diagnostic is classified as:
