6.25.0

🌟 Highlights

Guideline Statistics page under the statistics tab to generate SEI Cert and CWE Top 25 Compliance reports

A new Guideline Statistics page is added under the statistics tab to generate SEI Cert Compliance reports.

This page shows the compliance of an analyzed program to a coding guideline (such as SEI Cert C/C++) . It shows all checkers corresponding to a guideline rule, their configuration status (on/off) and all outstanding and closed reports per guideline rule.

It is possible to generate the table into HTML and CSV format.

The first supported guidelines are SEI Cert C and C++ and CWE Top 25

Facebook Infer as a new C/C++ analyzer plugin

Besides clang-tidy, clang static analyzer, cppcheck and gcc, Facebook Infer is a well known open-source static code analyzer tool https://github.com/facebook/infer

CodeChecker will support executing this analyzer. It will not be enabled by default, but is available for testing.

PVS Studio report conversion

From now on, it will be possible to convert the reports of the https://pvs-studio.com/en/pvs-studio/ analyzer and handle them with CodeChecker.

❗ Backward incompatible changes

• Resolve checker enable/disable ambiguity by @noraz31 in #4377 and by @cservakt in #4392
  CodeChecker analyze emits an error (instead of a warning) when the enabled checkers/profiles/checker prefix groups are given ambiguously. In these cases the ambiguity must be resolved. For example CodeChecker analyze -e security command is ambiguous as security is a checker group (all checkers starting with security. and a profile at the same time. Please define explicitly CodeChecker -e prefix:security if you mean the prefix group, or profile:security if you mean the security profile.

CodeChecker -e clang-diagnostic-format will give an error, because it is ambiguous if the user means the clang-diagnostic-format single checker, or all checkers starting with clang-diagnostic-format. To refer the former, the user must user checker:clang-diagnostic-format or to the latter prefix:clang-diagnostic-format.

If you have such clashing cases, you must resolve them. The following namespaces can be used
prefix: - to mach checkers starting with a prefix
profile: - to match a checker profile
checker: - to match a single checker
guideline: - to match checkers belonging to a guideline
severity: - to match checkers belonging to a given severity.

• The skip file handling changed! Adding a --drop-reports-from-skipped-files parameter to analyze by @dkrupp in #4332
  After this patch, the skip files will only skip the analysis of the listed files, but will not filter out any reports. This may result in more reports than before.
  By default CodeChecker used to filter out all reports from files which were on the skip list. This can hide true positive reports starting from unskipped code and ending in skipped files (typical with CTU and header related findings).
  This patch removes the default report filtering post processing step from CodeChecker analyze --skip SKIPFILE operation.
  The legacy functionality is still available with the --drop-reports-from-skipped-files parameter.

• guideline:sei-cert cannot be used anymore. The sei-cert guideline profile was split to guideline:sei-cert-c for the C guideline and guideline:sei-cert-cpp for the C++ guideline. #4400

• CodeChecker -e W* syntax is not supported anymore. Clang warnings only appear as clang-diagnostic-* checkers and they can be enabled using the standard checker checker on/off mechanism e.g. CodeChecker analyze -e clang-diagnostic-unused-function

• The --saargs, --tidyargs and --cppcheckargs flags are now deprecated. The corresponding analyzer configuration option should be used instead, e.g. --analyzer-config clangsa:cc-verbatim-args-file=<filename>. The old flags are still working, but will be converted to the new form under the hood.

v6.24.4

This release fixes a bug about permission settings:

• [fix] Get product configuration with view permission #4375
  Users with admin rights couldn't get product configuration page for changing product configuration or setting user permissions.

v6.24.3

This release fixes an authentication issue:

• CodeChecker authentication fixed #4369
  Version 6.24.2 introduced the super_user field in the server_config.json.
  If this field was missing from the config file, the authentication did not work for any user.

v6.24.2

This release contains security vulerability fixes.
It is highly recommended to upgrade to this as soon as possible.

1. [fix] Removing the root user creation 3bb2cbf
   Backward incompatible change: The built-in root user generated at CodeChecker server start with
   CodeChecker --reset-root ... has been disabled.
   Instead, the user can give SUPER_USER permission to an existing user in the server_config.json
   For further details, see https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker/blob/master/docs/web/user_guide.md#initial-super-user

2. Fix the endpoint parsing issue 8953b30
   CodeChecker web server has accepted some invalid URLs. The URL parsing has been hardened.

v6.24.1

🌟 Highlights

Standard library handling change

GCC has implicit include paths that are forwarded to Clang. Until now these paths were added with -isystem flag, but sometimes the priority of this is too high: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Directory-Options.html The implicit include paths should be searched the last, so -isystem has been changed to -idirafter.
In case of potential backward compatibility break --add-gcc-include-dirs-with-isystem has been introduced for "CodeChecker analyze" command which reverts this change.

ld_logger environment change

CodeChecker log command uses the LD_PRELOAD environment variable for collecting the build commands. This environment variable relies on LD_LIBRARY_PATH which tells where to find the .so file set in LD_PRELOAD. Some build systems overwrite the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and for this reason CodeChecker fails to collect build commands. A solution to this problem was to fill LD_PRELOAD with an absolute path. However, this solution doesn't work when the analyzed project is built for multiple target architectures (e.g 32 and 64 bits), since CodeChecker sets a single absolute path based on the host architecture.
If the project's build system is resetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then the workaround solution is to extend LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the proper ldlogger.so file: For further details consult this documentation.

Enable checkers by group prefix

Checkers can be enabled by providing a group prefix. For example, cplusplus.NewDeleteLeaks can be enabled by --enable cplusplus. The problem was that checkers are enabled by any name prefix, so this former checker is also enabled by cplusplus.NewDelete which is not an intended behavior. This release fixes this issue.
Also, it was possible to enable checkers by suffix (e.g. --enable NewDeleteLeaks). As of this release, the suffix matching is not checked either.
