Examples of errors detected by the V631…

Examples of errors detected by the V631 diagnostic

V631. Defining absolute path to file or directory is considered a poor coding style. Consider inspecting the 'Foo' function call.


ffdshow

V631 Consider inspecting the 'fopen' function call. Defining an absolute path to the file or directory is considered a poor style. writersink.cpp 13


STDMETHODIMP TmyWriterSink::OnHeader(INSSBuffer *pHeader)
{
  if (!f) f=fopen("c:\\2.wmv","wb");
  BYTE *buf; DWORD len;
  pHeader->GetBufferAndLength(&buf,&len);
  fwrite(buf,1,len,f);
  return S_OK;
}

Even if this was written just for the purpose of debugging, you'd better not do it that way. Other programmers may have troubles working with it.


NetXMS

V631 Consider inspecting the 'CreateFileW' function call. Defining an absolute path to the file or directory is considered a poor style. netxmsd.cpp 126


static void CreateMiniDump(DWORD pid)
{
  ....
  hFile = CreateFile(
    _T("C:\\netxmsd.mdmp"), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
    CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);

  ....
}

VirtualDub

V631 Consider inspecting the 'LoadLibraryA' function call. Defining an absolute path to the file or directory is considered a poor style. VirtualDub leaks.cpp 67


VDDbgHelpDynamicLoaderW32::VDDbgHelpDynamicLoaderW32()
{
  hmodDbgHelp = LoadLibrary(
    "c:\\program files\\debugging tools for windows\\dbghelp");
  if (!hmodDbgHelp) {
    hmodDbgHelp = LoadLibrary("c:\\program files (x86)\\......
