(#GH127191, #GH132404) Crash and bug fixes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +- Fixed a crash when C++20 parenthesized initializer lists are used. + This affected a crash of the well-known lambda overloaded pattern. + (#GH136041, #GH135665) + +- Dropped an unjustified assertion, that was triggered in ``BugReporterVisitors.cpp`` + for variable initialization detection. (#GH125044) + - Fixed a crash in ``UnixAPIMisuseChecker`` and ``MallocChecker`` when analyzing code with non-standard ``getline`` or ``getdelim`` function signatures. (#GH144884) +- Fixed crashes involving ``__builtin_bit_cast``. (#GH139188) + +- ``__datasizeof`` (C++) and ``_Countof`` (C) no longer cause a failed assertion + when given an operand of VLA type. (#GH151711) + +- Fixed a crash in ``CastSizeChecker``. (#GH134387) + +- Some ``cplusplus.PlacementNew`` false positives were fixed. (#GH150161) + Improvements ^^^^^^^^^^^^ +- Added option to assume at least one iteration in loops to reduce false positives. + (#GH125494) + - The checker option ``optin.cplusplus.VirtualCall:PureOnly`` was removed, - because it had been deprecated since 2019 and it is completely useless (it - was kept only for compatibility with pre-2019 versions, setting it to true is - equivalent to completely disabling the checker). + because it had been deprecated since 2019.

(#GH126620, #GH126986) + +- Improved the ``BlockInCriticalSectionChecker`` to recognize ``O_NONBLOCK`` + streams and suppress reports in those cases. (#GH127049) + +- Better support for lambda-converted function pointers in analysis. (#GH144906) + +- Improved modeling of ``getcwd`` function in ``StdCLibraryFunctions`` checker. + (#GH141076) + +- Enhanced the ``EnumCastOutOfRange`` checker to ignore ``[[clang::flag_enum]]`` + enums.

Overriding these options are discouraged, unless you know what you do. + (#GH127602) + +- Updated undefined assignment checker (``core.uninitialized.Assign``) diagnostics + to avoid using the term ``garbage``.

(#GH144491) Moved checkers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - After lots of improvements, the checker ``alpha.security.ArrayBoundV2`` is renamed to ``security.ArrayBound``. As this checker is stable now, the old - checker ``alpha.security.ArrayBound`` (which was searching for the same kind - of bugs with an different, simpler and less accurate algorithm) is removed. + checker ``alpha.security.ArrayBound`` is removed. .. _release-notes-sanitizers:
