Re: [cdt-dev] Checking function parameters!

Hello,

No, that won't suffice - the arguments may have different types and still be acceptable due to implicit conversion, like promotion or casting. There are a lot of factors to consider: overloaded conversion operators, non-explicit single-argument constructors, inheritance hierarchy, etc.

Also, getting an IType from IASTDeclaration (well, from IASTDeclSpecifier + IASTDeclarator pair, to be precise, both of which you can get from IASTParameterDeclaration) is non-trivial - maybe it's already designed by someone, but I don't know about that. :)

Probably a lot simpler approach is to use the fact that the Parser generates problem nodes in various erroneous situations, including function calls with bad parameters (with all the logic I mentioned handed correctly) - they're not marked as warnings now, but there's an open bug to create Codan warnings from them.

You may want to examine https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=309760 .

Best regards,

Hello all.  I am currently conceiving how to implement a CODAN checker to report inconsistencies between function call parameter types and function declaration parameter types.

 

Basically I want to check is if the parameters provided match the type declared in the function declaration.

 

My question is as the parameters provided to the function call in the AST are modeled as inherited entities  of IASTExpression

 

Can I rely on getExpressionType() to compare the _expression_ type returned by this method with the declared parameter type no matter what kind of _expression_ I am dealing with?

 

Is this feasible?

 

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
