Examples of errors detected by the V502 diagnostic

V502. The '?:' operator may not work as expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the 'foo' operator.


Grid Control Re-dux

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '|' operator. GridCtrlDemoDlg.cpp 1115


void CGridCtrlDemoDlg::UpdateMenuUI()
{
  ....
  GetMenu()->CheckMenuItem(IDC_HORZ_LINES, MF_BYCOMMAND |
    (bHorzLines)? MF_CHECKED: MF_UNCHECKED);
  GetMenu()->CheckMenuItem(IDC_LISTMODE, MF_BYCOMMAND |
    (m_Grid.GetListMode())? MF_CHECKED: MF_UNCHECKED);
  GetMenu()->CheckMenuItem(IDC_VERT_LINES, MF_BYCOMMAND |
    (bVertLines)? MF_CHECKED: MF_UNCHECKED);
  GetMenu()->EnableMenuItem(IDC_SINGLESELMODE, MF_BYCOMMAND |
    (m_Grid.GetListMode())? MF_ENABLED: MF_DISABLED|MF_GRAYED);
  ....
  GetMenu()->CheckMenuItem(ID_HIDE2NDROWCOLUMN,
    MF_BYCOMMAND |
    (m_bRow2Col2Hidden)? MF_CHECKED: MF_UNCHECKED);
  ....
}

This code is incorrect as the priority of '?:' operator is lower than of '|'. The program works correctly because of MF_BYCOMMAND == 0. Nonetheless this code is potentially dangerous.


FCEUX

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '|' operator. fceux memwatch.cpp 711


static BOOL CALLBACK MemWatchCallB(....)
{
  ....
  EnableMenuItem(memwmenu, MEMW_FILE_SAVE,
    MF_BYCOMMAND | fileChanged ? MF_ENABLED:MF_GRAYED);
  ....
}

It works because of sheer luck, since #define MF_BYCOMMAND 0x00000000L.


IPP Samples

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '|' operator. vm vm_file_win.c 393


vm_file* vm_file_fopen(....)
{
  ....
  mds[3] = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL |
           (islog == 0) ? 0 : FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING;
  ....
}

0 is always written into mds[3]. Parentheses should be used: mds[3] = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | ((islog == 0) ? 0 : FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING).


Newton Game Dynamics

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '*' operator. physics dgminkowskiconv.cpp 1061


dgInt32 CalculateConvexShapeIntersection (....)
{
  ....
  den = dgFloat32 (1.0e-24f) *
        (den > dgFloat32 (0.0f)) ?
          dgFloat32 (1.0f) : dgFloat32 (-1.0f);
  ....
}

Similar errors can be found in some other places:

  • V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '*' operator. physics dgminkowskiconv.cpp 1081

Chromium

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '-' operator. views custom_frame_view.cc 400


static const int kClientEdgeThickness;

int height() const;

bool ShouldShowClientEdge() const;

void CustomFrameView::PaintMaximizedFrameBorder(
  gfx::Canvas* canvas)
{
  ....
  int edge_height = titlebar_bottom->height() -
    ShouldShowClientEdge() ? kClientEdgeThickness : 0;
  ....
}

OTS

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '+' operator. ots gdef.cc 278


bool version_2;

bool ots_gdef_parse(....)
{
  ....
  const unsigned gdef_header_end = static_cast<unsigned>(8) +
    gdef->version_2 ? static_cast<unsigned>(2) :
                      static_cast<unsigned>(0);
  ....
}

ReactOS

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '+' operator. uniata id_dma.cpp 1610


VOID NTAPI
AtapiDmaInit(....)
{
  ....
  ULONG treg = 0x54 + (dev < 3) ? (dev << 1) : 7;
  ....
}

The "0x54 + (dev < 3)" condition is always true. This is the correct code: ULONG treg = 0x54 + ((dev < 3) ? (dev << 1) : 7).


Chromium

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '+' operator. rtp_rtcp rtp_receiver_video.cc 480


WebRtc_Word32
RTPReceiverVideo::ReceiveH263Codec(....)
{
  ....
  if (IP_PACKET_SIZE < parsedPacket.info.H263.dataLength +
       parsedPacket.info.H263.insert2byteStartCode ? 2:0)
  ....
}

Parentheses should be used.

MongoDB

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '<<' operator. version.cpp 107


string sysInfo() {
  ....
  stringstream ss;
  ....
  ss << (sizeof(char *) == 8) ? " 64bit" : " 32bit";
  ....
}

A very nice sample. 0 or 1 will be printed instead of "32bit"/"64bit".


TinyCAD

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '+' operator. ruler.cpp 66


BOOL hasOrigin;

void Ruler::OnNewSize(CRect nSize)
{
  ....
  Size = CRect(Size.left + hasOrigin ? RULER_WIDTH : 0,
               Size.top, Size.right, Size.top + RULER_WIDTH);
  ....
}

Apache Xerces Project

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '*' operator. contentspecnode.cpp 262


int ContentSpecNode::getMaxTotalRange() const {
  ....
  int max
  int maxFirst;
  int maxSecond;
  ....
  max = max * (maxFirst > maxSecond) ? maxFirst : maxSecond;
  ....
}

Unreal Engine 4

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '+' operator. materialshared.h 224

           UniformBufferStruct->GetMembers().GetAllocatedSize())
          :
          0;
  }
  ....

static HRESULT WINAPI Protocol_Start(....)

Miranda NG

V502 Perhaps the '?:' operator works in a different way than it was expected. The '?:' operator has a lower priority than the '|' operator. TabSRMM controls.cpp 451


#define MF_BYCOMMAND 0x00000000L

void CMenuBar::updateState(const HMENU hMenu) const
{
  ....
  ::CheckMenuItem(hMenu, ID_VIEW_SHOWAVATAR,
