--annotation-reachability-cxx json
Specify annotation reachability analyses to be performed on C/C++/ObjC code. Each entry is a JSON object whose key is the issue name. "sources" and "sinks" can be specified either by symbol (including regexps) or path prefix. "sinks" optionally can specify "overrides" (by symbol or path prefix) that block the reachability analysis when hit. Example:
{
"ISOLATED_REACHING_CONNECT": {
"doc_url":
"http:://example.com/issue/doc/optional_link.html",
"sources": {
"desc": "Code that should not call connect
[optional]",
"paths": [ "isolated/" ]
},
"sinks": {
"symbols": [ "connect" ],
"overrides": { "symbol_regexps": [
".*::Trusted::.*" ] }
}
}
}
This will cause
us to create a new ISOLATED_REACHING_CONNECT
issue for every function whose source path starts with
"isolated/"
that may reach the function named "connect",
ignoring paths that
go through a symbol matching the OCaml regexp
".*::Trusted::.*".
--annotation-reachability-cxx-sources json

--cxx-scope-guards json
Specify scope guard classes that can be read only by destructors without being reported as dead stores.
--liveness-dangerous-classes json
Specify classes where the destructor should be ignored when computing liveness. In other words, assignement to variables of these types (or common wrappers around these types such as unique_ptr<type>) will count as dead stores when the variables are not read explicitly by the program.
--ml-buckets
,-separated sequence of { all | cf | arc | narc | cpp |
unknown_origin }
Specify the memory leak buckets to be checked in C++:
- cpp from C++ code
--unsafe-malloc
Activates: Assume that malloc(3) never returns null. (Conversely: --no-unsafe-malloc)

annotations

{ "sources" : ["Source1",
"Source2"], "sink" : "Sink1" }

--quandary-sinks json
Specify custom sinks for Quandary

Deactivates: DEPRECATED, does nothing. (Conversely: --racerd-unknown-returns-owned)
--threadsafe-aliases json
Specify custom annotations that should be considered aliases of @ThreadSafe
--siof-check-iostreams
Activates: Do not assume that iostreams (cout, cerr, ...) are always initialized. The default is to assume they are always initialized to avoid false positives. However, if your program compiles against a recent libstdc++ then it is safe to turn this option on. (Conversely: --no-siof-check-iostreams)
--siof-safe-methods +string
Methods that are SIOF-safe; "foo::bar" will match "foo::bar()", "foo<int>::bar()", etc. (can be specified multiple times)
