    Clang Diagnostic Plugin To Check The Return Value From A Malloc

    Uploaded by

    SHADAKSHARI ARUTAGI
    The document describes an approach to implement a diagnostic plugin in Clang to check that the return value from calls to malloc is not unused. The plugin uses a RecursiveASTVisitor to check each node for malloc calls, and whether the pointer is checked in any if statements or used elsewhere. If not checked, a warning is generated along with the location using the Diagnostic Engine. The team members working on this are listed.

    Clang diagnostic plugin to check the return value from a malloc.

    Problem Statement Methodology Result/Conclusion


    APPROACH
    Implement a diagnostic in Clang to identify
    unchecked use of the return value from ● RecursiveASTVisitor visits every node.
    calls to 'malloc'. For example, the code: ● First Malloc call is checked with VisitCallExpr. Then
    char *p = malloc(100); RASTV visits ifStmt. If the ptr is not checked in any if
    *p = 'x'; statements and the ptr is used somewhere, a warning is
    Must be diagnosed with a warning stating that ptr throw.
    must be checked.
    Introduction to CLANG/LLVM 1. Warning is generated using Diagnostic
    Engine.
    2. Along with warning, Location is also
    LLVM is a set of libraries and tools, as well as a
