1267<p class="TextFontCX">Splint is developed and maintained by the
1268Secure Programming Group at the University of Virginia Department
1269of Computer Science.&nbsp; David Evans is the project leader and
1270the primary developer of Splint.&nbsp; David Larochelle developed
1271the memory bounds checking.&nbsp; University of Virginia students
1272Chris Barker, David Friedman, Mike Lanouette and Hien Phan all
1273contributed significantly to the development of Splint.</p>
1274<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
1275<p class="TextFontCX">Splint is the successor to LCLint, a tool
1276originally developed as a joint research project between the
1277Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Digital Equipment
1278Corporation&#8217;s System Research Center.&nbsp; David Evans was
1279the primary designed and developer of LCLint.&nbsp; John Guttag and
1280Jim Horning had the original idea for a static checking tool for
1281detecting inconsistencies between LCL specifications and their C
1282implementations.&nbsp; They provided valuable advice on its
1283functionality and design and were instrumental in its
1284development.&nbsp;</p>
1285<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
1286<p class="TextFontCX">Splint incorporates the original LCL checker
1287developed by Yang Meng Tan.&nbsp; This was built on the DECspec
1288Project (Joe Wild, Gary Feldman, Steve Garland, and Bill
1289McKeeman).&nbsp; The LSL checker used by LCLint was developed by
1290Steve Garland.&nbsp; The original C grammar for LCLint was provided
1291by Nate Osgood.&nbsp; This work has also benefited greatly from
1292discussions with Mike Burrows, David Friedman, Stephen Garland,
1293Colin Godfrey, Steve Harrison, Yanlin Huang, Daniel Jackson, John
1294Knight, David Larochelle, Angelika Leeb, Ulana Legedza, Gary
1295McGraw, Anya Pogosyants, Avneesh Saxena, Seejo Sebastine, Navneet
1296Singh, Raymie Stata, Yang Meng Tan, and Mark Vandevoorde.&nbsp; I
1297especially thank Angelika Leeb for many constructive comments on
1298improving an early version of this document, Raymie Stata and Mark
1299Vandevoorde for technical assistance, and Dorothy Curtis, Paco
1300Hope, Scott Ruffner, Christina Jackson, David Ladd, and Jessica
1301Greer for systems assistance.</p>
1302<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
1303<p class="TextFontCX">Much of Splint&#8217;s development has been
1304driven by feedback from users in academia and industry.&nbsp; Many
1305more people than I can mention here have made contributions by
1306suggesting improvements, reporting bugs, porting early versions of
1307Splint to other platforms.&nbsp; Particularly heroic contributions
1308have been made by Nelson Beebe, Eric Bloodworth, Jutta Degener,
1309Rick Farnbach, Chris Flatters, Huver Hu, Alexander Mai, John Gerard
1310Malecki, Thomas G. McWilliams, Michael Meskes, Richard
1311O&#8217;Keefe, Jens Schweikhardt, Albert L. Ting and Jim Zelenka.
1312Martin &#8220;Herbert&#8221; Dietze and Mike Smith performed
1313valiantly in producing the original Win32 and OS2 ports.&nbsp; Tim

1965 is a tool for statically checking C programs for security
1966 vulnerabilities and programming mistakes.&nbsp; Splint does many
1967 of the traditional lint checks including unused declarations,
1968 type inconsistencies, use before definition, unreachable code,
1969 ignored return values, execution paths with no return, likely
1970 infinite loops, and fall through cases.&nbsp; More powerful
1971 checks are made possible by additional information given in
1972 source code annotations.&nbsp; Annotations&nbsp;are stylized
1973 comments that document assumptions about functions, variables,
1974 parameters and types.&nbsp; In addition to the checks
1975 specifically enabled by annotations, many of the traditional
1976 lint checks are improved by exploiting this additional
1977 information.</p>
1978<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
1979<p class="TextFontCX">As more effort is put into annotating
1980programs, better checking results. A representational
1981effort-benefit curve for using Splint is shown in Figure 1.&nbsp;
1982Splint is designed to be flexible and allow programmers to select
1983appropriate points on the effort-benefit curve for particular
1984projects.&nbsp; As different checks are turned on and more
1985information is given in code annotations the number of bugs that
1986can be detected increases dramatically.</p>

2108<p class="TextFontCX">Splint is invoked by listing files to be
2109checked.&nbsp; Initialization files, command line flags, and
2110stylized comments may be used to customize checking globally and
2111locally.</p>
2112<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2113<p class="TextFontCX">The best way to learn to use Splint, of
2114course, is to actually use it (if you don&#8217;t already have
2115Splint installed on your system, see Appendix A). &nbsp;Before you
2116read much further in this document, I recommend finding a small C
2117program.&nbsp; Then, try running:</p>
2118<p class="example" align="left">splint *.c</p>
2119<center>
2120<center>
2121<p class="TextFontCX">For the most C programs, this will produce a
2122large number of warnings.&nbsp; To turn off reporting for some of
2123the warnings, try:<a name="_Ref347468509"></a><a name=

2136introduced in the following sections; a complete list is given in

2238Flags</a></h2>
2239<p class="TextFontCX">So that many programming styles can be
2240supported, Splint provides several hundred flags for controlling
2241checking and message reporting.&nbsp; Some of the flags are
2242introduced in the body of this document.&nbsp; Appendix B describes
2243every flag.&nbsp; Modes and shortcut flags are provided for setting
2244many flags at once.&nbsp; Individual flags can override the mode
2245settings.</p>
2246<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2247<p class="TextFontCX">Flags are preceded by <span class=
2248"Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>+</span></span> or
2249<span class="Flag"><span style=
2250'font-size:10.0pt'>-</span></span>.&nbsp; When a flag is preceded
2251by <span class="Flag"><span style=
2252'font-size:10.0pt'>+</span></span> we say it is <i>on</i>; when it
2253is preceded by <span class="Flag"><span style=
2254'font-size:10.0pt'>-</span></span> it is <i>off</i>. The precise
2255meaning of on and off depends on the type of flag.&nbsp;</p>
2256<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2257<p class="TextFontCX">The <span class="Flag"><span style=
2258'font-size:10.0pt'>+</span></span>/<span class=
2259 "Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>-</span></span> flag
2260 settings are used for consistency and clarity, but contradict
2261 standard UNIX usage and it is easy to accidentally use the
2262 wrong one.&nbsp; To reduce the likelihood of using the wrong
2263 flag, Splint issues warnings when a flag is set in an unusual
2264 way.&nbsp; Warnings are issued when a flag is redundantly set
2265 to the value it already had (these errors are not reported if
2266 the flag is set using a stylized comment), if a mode flag or
2267 special flag is set after a more specific flag that will be
2268 set by the general flag was already set, if value flags are
2269 given unreasonable values, of if flags are set in an
2270 inconsistent way. &nbsp;The <span class="Flag"><span style=
2271 'font-size: 10.0pt'>-warnflags</span></span>&nbsp;flag
2272 suppresses these warnings.</p>
2273<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>

2275<span class="Keyword"><span style=

2287is the same as that of command-line flags, except that flags may be
2288on separate lines and the <span class="CodeText"><span style=
2289'font-size:10.0pt'>#</span></span> character may be used to
2290indicate that the remainder of the line is a comment. The

2338Annotations</a></h3>
2339<p class="TextFontCX">Annotations are stylized comments that follow
2340a definite syntax.&nbsp; Although they are comments, they may only
2341be used in fixed grammatical contexts (e.g., like a type
2342qualifier).</p>
2343<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2344<p class="TextFontCX">Sections 2&#8211;6&#173; describe
2345annotations&nbsp;for expressing assumptions about variables,
2346parameters, return values, structure fields and
2347type&nbsp;definitions.&nbsp; For example, <span class=
2348"Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>/*@null@*/</span></span> is
2349used to express an assumption that a parameter may be NULL.&nbsp;
2350Section 7 describes annotations for describing function
2351interfaces.&nbsp; Other annotations are described in later sections
2352and Section 10 describes mechanisms users can employ to define new
2353annotations.&nbsp; A summary of annotations is found in Appendix
2354C.</p>
2355<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2356<p class="TextFontCX">Some annotations, known as control comments,
2357may appear between any two tokens in a C program (unlike regular C
2358comments, control comments should not be used within a single token
2359as they introduce new separators in the code).&nbsp; Syntactically,
2360they are no different from standard comments.&nbsp; Control
2361comments are used to provide source-level control of Splint
2362checking.&nbsp; They may be used to suppress spurious messages, set
2363flags, and control checking locally in other ways.</p>

2367Setting Flags</a></h3>
2368<p class="TextFontCX">Most flags (all except those characterized as
2369&#8220;global&#8221; in Appendix B) can be set locally using
2370control comments.&nbsp; A control comment can set flags locally to
2371override the command line settings.&nbsp; The original flag
2372settings are restored before processing the next file. The syntax
2373for setting flags in control comments is the same as that of the
2374command line, except that flags may also be preceded by
2375 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
2376 'font-size:10.0pt'>=</span></span> to restore their setting
2377 to the original command-line value.&nbsp; For instance,</p>

2405<p class="TextFontCX">A common cause of program failures is when a
2406null&nbsp;pointer is dereferenced.&nbsp; Splint detects these
2407errors by distinguishing possibly <span class=
2408"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NULL</span></span>
2409pointers at interface boundaries.</p>
2410<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2411<p class="TextFontCX">The <span class="Annot"><span style=
2412'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span> annotation is used to
2413indicate that a pointer value may be <span class=
2414"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NULL</span></span>.&nbsp;
2415A pointer declared with no <span class="Annot"><span style=
2416'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span> annotation, may not be
2417<span class="CodeText"><span style=
2418'font-size:10.0pt'>NULL</span></span>.&nbsp; If null checking is
2419turned on (controlled by <span class="Flag"><span style=
2420'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span>), Splint will report an error
2421when a possibly null pointer is passed as a parameter, returned as
2422a result, or assigned to an external reference with no
2423 <span class="Annot"><span style=
2424 'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span> qualifier.</p>
2425<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
2426<p class="TextFontCX">If a pointer is declared with the
2427 <span class="Annot"><span style=
2428 'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span> annotation, the code
2429 must check that it is not <span class="CodeText"><span style=
2430 'font-size:10.0pt'>NULL</span></span> on all paths leading to
2431 a dereference of the pointer (or the pointer being returned
2432 or passed as a value with no <span class="Annot"><span style=
2433 'font-size:10.0pt'>null</span></span> annotation).&nbsp;
2434 Dereferences of possibly null pointers may be protected by
2435 conditional statements or <span class="CodeText"><span style=
2436 'font-size:10.0pt'>assert</span></span>ions (to see how
2437 <span class="CodeText"><span style=

2448 an error since the pointer that is dereferenced is declared

2660 in a type definition to indicate that all instances of the

2736what storage must be defined and what storage may be undefined at
2737interface points. Unannotated references are expected to be
2738completely defined at interface points.&nbsp; This means all
2739storage reachable from a global variable, parameter to a function,

2746Undefined Parameters</a></h3>
2747<p class="TextFontCX">Sometimes, function parameters or return
2748values are expected to reference undefined or partially defined
2749storage.&nbsp; For example, a pointer parameter may be intended

2752 <span class="Annot"><span style=

2757pointer to allocated but undefined storage is passed as an
2758<span class="Annot"><span style=

2760body of a function, Splint will assume an <span class=
2761"Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>out</span></span> parameter
2762is allocated but not necessarily bound to a value, so an error is
2763reported if its value is used before it is defined.&nbsp;</p>

2765<p class="TextFontCX">Splint reports an error if storage reachable

3358Abstract Types</a></h2>
3359<p class="TextFontCX">Information hiding is a technique for
3360handling complexity.&nbsp; By hiding implementation details,
3361programs can be understood and developed in distinct modules and
3362the effects of a change can be localized.&nbsp; One technique for
3363information hiding&nbsp;is data abstraction.&nbsp; An
3364abstract&nbsp;type is used to represent some natural program
3365abstraction.&nbsp; It provides functions for manipulating instances
3366of the type.&nbsp; The module that implements these functions is
3367called the <i>implementation</i> module.&nbsp; We call the
3368functions that are part of the implementation of an abstract type
3369the <i>operations</i> of the type.&nbsp; Other modules that use the
3370abstract type are called <i>clients</i>.</p>
3371<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3372<p class="TextFontCX">Clients may use the type name and operations,
3373but should not manipulate or rely on the actual representation of
3374the type.&nbsp; Only the implementation module may manipulate the
3375representation of an abstract type.&nbsp; This hides information,
3376since implementers and maintainers of client modules should not
3377need to know anything about how the abstract type is implemented.
3378It provides modularity, since the representation of an abstract
3379type can be changed without having to change any client code.</p>
3380<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3381<p class="TextFontCX">Splint supports abstract types by detecting
3382places where client code depends on the concrete representation of
3383an abstract type.&nbsp; Some examples of abstraction violations
3384detected by Splint are shown in Figure 5.</p>
3385<p class="beforelist">&nbsp;</p>
3386<p class="beforelist">To declare an abstract type, the
3387 <span class="Annot"><span style=
3388 'font-size:10.0pt'>abstract</span></span>&nbsp;annotation is
3389 added to a <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3390 'font-size:10.0pt'>typedef</span></span>.&nbsp; For example
3391 (in <span class="Keyword"><span style=
3392 'font-size:10.0pt;font-family: Arial;color:windowtext'>mstring.h</span></span>),</p>
3393<p class="example">typedef /*@abstract@*/ char *mstring;</p>
3394<p class="TextFontCX">declares <span class=
3395 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>mstring</span></span>
3396 as an abstract type.&nbsp; It is implemented using a
3397 <span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>char
3398 *</span></span>, but clients of the type should not depend on
3399 or need to be aware of this.&nbsp; If it later becomes
3400 apparent that a better representation such as a string table
3401 should be used, we should be able to change the
3402 implementation of <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3403 'font-size: 10.0pt'>mstring</span></span> without having to
3404 change or inspect any client code.</p>
3405<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3406<p class="TextFontCX">In a client module, abstract types are
3407checked by name, not structure.&nbsp; Splint reports an error if an
3408instance of <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3409'font-size:10.0pt'>mstring</span></span> is passed as a
3410 <span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>char
3411 *</span></span> (for instance, as an argument to <span class=
3412 "CodeText"><span style=
3413 'font-size: 10.0pt'>strlen</span></span>), since the
3414 correctness of this call depends on the representation of the
3415 abstract type.&nbsp; Splint also reports errors if any C
3416 operator except assignment (<span class=
3417 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>=</span></span>) or
3418 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3419 'font-size:10.0pt'>sizeof</span></span> is used on an
3420 abstract type.&nbsp; The assignment operator is allowed since
3421 its semantics do not depend on the representation of the type
3422 (for abstract types whose instances can change value, a
3423 client does need to know if assignment has copy or sharing
3424 semantics as discussed in Section 4.3.2).&nbsp; The use of
3425 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3426 'font-size:10.0pt'>sizeof</span></span>&nbsp;is also
3427 permitted, since this is the only way for clients to allocate
3428 pointers to the abstract type.&nbsp; Type casting objects to
3429 or from abstract types in a client module is an abstraction
3430 violation and will generate a warning message.</p>
3431<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3432<p class="TextFontCX">Normally, Splint will assume a type
3433definition is not abstract unless the <span class=
3434"Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>/*@abstract@*/</span></span>
3435qualifier is used.&nbsp; If instead you want all user-defined types
3436to be abstract types unless they are marked as <span class=
3437"Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>concrete</span></span>, the
3438<span class="Flag"><span style=
3439'font-size:10.0pt'>+imp-abstract</span></span> flag can be
3440used.&nbsp; This adds an implicit <span class=
3441 "Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>abstract</span></span>
3442 annotation to any <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3443 'font-size:10.0pt'>typedef</span></span> that is not marked

3554Controlling Access</a></h3>
3555<p class="TextFontCX">Where code may manipulate the representation
3556of an abstract type, we say the code has <i>access</i> to that
3557type.&nbsp; If code has access to an abstract type, the
3558representation of the type and the abstract type are
3559indistinguishable.&nbsp; Usually, a single program module that is
3560the only code that has access to the type representation implements
3561an abstract type.&nbsp; Sometimes, more complicated access control
3562is desired if the implementation of an abstract type is split
3563across program files, or particular client code needs to access the
3564representation.</p>

3662Mutability</a></h3>
3663<p class="TextFontCX">We can view types as being <i>mutable</i> or
3664<i>immutable</i>.&nbsp; A type is mutable if passing it as a
3665parameter to a function call can change the value of an instance of
3666the type.&nbsp; For example, the primitive type <span class=
3667"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>int</span></span> is
3668immutable.&nbsp; If <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3669'font-size:10.0pt'>i</span></span> is a local variable of type
3670<span class="CodeText"><span style=
3671'font-size:10.0pt'>int</span></span> and no variables point to the
3672location where <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3673'font-size:10.0pt'>i</span></span> is stored, the value of
3674<span class="CodeText"><span style=
3675'font-size:10.0pt'>i</span></span> must be the same before and
3676after the call <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3677'font-size:10.0pt'>f (i)</span></span>.&nbsp; Structure and union
3678types are also immutable, since they are copied when they are
3679passed as arguments.&nbsp; On the other hand, pointer types are
3680mutable.&nbsp; If <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3681'font-size:10.0pt'>x</span></span> is a local variable of type
3682<span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>int
3683*</span></span>, the value of <span class=
3684 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>*x</span></span>
3685 (and hence, the value of the object <span class=
3686 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>x</span></span>)
3687 can be changed by the function call <span class=
3688 "CodeText"><span style=
3689 'font-size:10.0pt'>g(x)</span></span>.&nbsp;</p>
3690<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3691<p class="TextFontCX">The mutability of a concrete type is
3692determined by its type definition. For abstract types, mutability
3693does not depend on the type representation but on what operations
3694the type provides. If an abstract type has operations that may
3695change the value of instances of the type, the type is
3696mutable.&nbsp; If not, it is immutable.&nbsp; The value of an
3697instance of an immutable type never changes.&nbsp; Since object
3698sharing is noticeable only for mutable types, they are checked
3699differently from immutable types.</p>
3700<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3701<p class="beforelist">The <span class="Annot"><span style=
3702'font-size:10.0pt'>/*@mutable@*/</span></span> and
3703 <span class="Annot"><span style=
3704 'font-size:10.0pt'>/*@immutable@*/</span></span> annotations
3705 are used to declare an abstract type as mutable or
3706 immutable.&nbsp; (If neither is used, the abstract type is
3707 assumed to be mutable.)&nbsp; For example,</p>
3708<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; typedef /*@abstract@*/
3709/*@mutable@*/ char *mstring;</p>
3710<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; typedef /*@abstract@*/

3712<p class="afterlist">declares <span class=

3714 as a mutable abstract type and <span class=
3715 "CodeText"><span style=
3716 'font-size: 10.0pt'>weekDay</span></span> as an immutable
3717 abstract type.</p>
3718<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3719<p class="TextFontCX">Clients of a mutable abstract type need to
3720know the semantics of assignment.&nbsp; After the assignment
3721expression <span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>s
3722= t</span></span>, do <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3723'font-size:10.0pt'>s</span></span> and <span class=
3724"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>t</span></span> refer to
3725the same object (that is, will changes to the value of
3726 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3727 'font-size:10.0pt'>s</span></span> also change the value of
3728 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3729 'font-size:10.0pt'>t</span></span>).</p>
3730<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3731<p class="TextFontCX">Splint prescribes that all abstract types
3732have sharing semantics, so <span class=
3733 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>s</span></span> and
3734 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3735 'font-size:10.0pt'>t</span></span> would indeed be the same
3736 object.&nbsp; Splint will produce a warning if a mutable type
3737 is implemented with a representation (e.g., a <span class=
3738 "CodeText"><span style=
3739 'font-size:10.0pt'>struct</span></span>) that does not
3740 provide sharing semantics (controlled by <span class=

3743<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3744<p class="TextFontCX">The mutability of an abstract type is not
3745necessarily the same as the mutability of its representation. We
3746could use the immutable concrete type <span class=

3748represent mutable strings using an index into a string table, or
3749declare <span class="CodeText"><span style=

3760Semi-Abstract Types</a></h2>
04c4d6c2 3761<p class="TextFontCX">
3762Sometimes it is useful to have a type that is abstract in some ways, but can be used with the standard numerical operators. Splint supports numabstract types for this purpose. The <span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>/*@numabstract@*/</span></span> annotation denotes a numabstract type. Splint will report warnings when numabstract types are used inconsistently, but allow binary numeric operators to operate on two values of the same numabstract type.

3779Polymorphism</a></h2>
3780<p class="TextFontCX">In C, all declarators must be declared to
3781have exactly one type.&nbsp; This makes it impossible to write
3782functions that operate on more than one type of parameter &#8211;
3783for example, we cannot use the same square function for
3784 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
3785 'font-size:10.0pt'>int</span></span>s and <span class=
3786 "CodeText"><span style=
3787 'font-size:10.0pt'>float</span></span>s.&nbsp; Because of the
3788 stricter type checking made possible by Splint, it is often
3789 useful to declare a parameter that has more than one possible

3814<p class="TextFontCX">One use of alternate types is to specify the

3832Memory Management</a>
3833</a></h1>
3834<p class="TextFontCX">About half the bugs in typical C programs can
3835be attributed to memory management problems.&nbsp; Memory
3836management bugs are notoriously difficult to detect through
3837traditional techniques.&nbsp; Often, the symptom of the bug is far
3838removed from its actual source.&nbsp; Memory management bugs often
3839only appear sporadically and some bugs may only be apparent when
3840compiler optimizations are turned on or the code is compiled on a
3841different platform.&nbsp; Run-time tools offer some help, but are
3842cumbersome to use and limited to detecting errors that occur when
3843test cases are run.&nbsp; By detecting these errors statically, we
3844can be confident that certain types of errors will never occur and
3845provide verified documentation on the memory management behavior of
3846a program.&nbsp;</p>
3847<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
3848<p class="beforelist">Splint can detect many memory management
3849errors at compile time including using storage that may have been
3850deallocated (Section 5.2), memory leaks&nbsp;(Section 5.2), or
3851returning a pointer to stack-allocated storage&nbsp;(Section
38525.2.6).</p>

3864assumptions for function interfaces, variables, type definitions
3865and structure fields, memory management bugs can be detected at
3866their source &#8212; where an assumption is violated.&nbsp; In
3867addition, precise documentation about memory management decisions

3887An <i>object</i> is a typed region of storage.&nbsp; Some objects

3894assigned a value.&nbsp; An object is <i>completely defined</i> if
3895all storage that may be reached from it is defined.&nbsp; What
3896storage is reachable from an object depends on the type and value
3897of the object.&nbsp; For example, if <span class=

3956Deallocation Errors</a></h2>
3957<p class="TextFontCX">There are two kinds of deallocation errors
3958with which we are concerned:&nbsp; deallocating storage when there
3959are other live references to the same storage, or failing to
3960deallocate storage before the last reference to it is lost.&nbsp;
3961To handle these deallocation errors, we introduce a concept of an
3962obligation to release storage.&nbsp; Every time storage is
3963allocated, it creates an obligation to release the storage.&nbsp;
3964This obligation is attached to the reference to which the storage
3965is assigned.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=

3969 Before the scope of the reference is exited or it is assigned
3970 to a new value, the storage to which it points must be
3971 released.&nbsp; Annotations&nbsp;can be used to indicate that
3972 this obligation is transferred through a return value,
3973 function parameter or assignment to an external
3974 reference.</p>

4230references exported from a function through return values or
4231assignments to references reachable from global variables or actual

4233reference errors, since it is clear from a declaration if storage

4316<p class="beforelist">declares <span class=

4324 "CodeText"><span style=
4325 'font-size:10.0pt'>*x</span></span>.&nbsp; To apply
4326 annotations to inner storage a type definition may be
4327 used:</p>
4328<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp; typedef /*@only@*/ int *oip;</p>
4329<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp; /*@only@*/ oip *x;</p>
4330<p class="afterlist">Now, x is an <span class=

4354Implicit Memory Annotations</a></h2>
4355<p class="TextFontCX">Since it is important that Splint can check
4356unannotated programs effectively, the meaning of declarations with
4357no memory annotations is chosen to minimize the number of
4358annotations needed to get useful checking on an unannotated
4359program.</p>
4360<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
4361<p class="TextFontCX">An implicit memory management annotation may
4362be assumed for declarations with no explicit memory management
4363annotation.&nbsp; Implicit annotations are checked identically to
4364the corresponding explicit annotation, except error messages
4365indicate that they result from an implicit annotation.&nbsp; Figure
43668 illustrates some implicit annotations.</p>
4367<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
4368<p class="TextFontCX">Unannotated function parameters are assumed
4369to be <span class="Annot"><span style=

4371checking is turned on for an unannotated program, all functions
4372that release storage referenced by a parameter or assign a global

4471Reference Counting</a></h2>
4472<p class="TextFontCX">Another approach to memory management is to
4473add a field to a type to explicitly keep track of the number of
4474references to that storage.&nbsp; Every time a reference is added
4475or lost the reference count is adjusted accordingly; if it would
4476become zero, the storage is released.&nbsp; Reference counting it
4477difficult to do without automatic checking since it is easy to
4478forget to increment or decrement the reference count, and
4479exceedingly difficult to track down these errors.</p>
4480<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
4481<p class="TextFontCX">Splint supports reference counting by using
4482annotations to constrain the use of reference counted storage in a
4483manner similar to other memory management annotations.</p>
4484<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
4485<p class="TextFontCX">A reference counted type is declared using
4486the <span class="Annot"><span style=
4487'font-size:10.0pt'>refcounted</span></span> annotation.&nbsp; Only

4490<span class="Annot"><span style=
4491'font-size:10.0pt'>refcounted</span></span>, since reference
4492counted storage must have a field to count the references.&nbsp;
4493One field in the structure (or integral type) is preceded by the
4494<span class="Annot"><span style=
4495'font-size:10.0pt'>refs</span></span> annotation to indicate that
4496the value of this field is the number of live references to the
4497structure. For example (in <span class="Keyword"><span style=

4789Exposure</a></h2>
4790<p class="TextFontCX">Splint detects places where the
4791representation of an abstract type is exposed.&nbsp; This occurs if
4792a client has a pointer to storage that is part of the
4793representation of an instance of the abstract type.&nbsp; The
4794client can then modify or examine the storage this points to, and
4795manipulate the value of the abstract type instance without using
4796its operations.</p>
4797<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>

4811Assigning a mutable component of an abstract object to storage

4833Read-Only Storage</a></h3>
4834<p class="beforelist">It is often useful for a function to return a
4835pointer to internal storage (or an instance of a mutable abstract
4836type) that is intended only as an <i>observer</i>.&nbsp; The caller
4837may use the result, but should not modify the storage it points
4838to.&nbsp; For example, consider a na&#239;ve implementation of the
4839<span class="CodeText"><span style=
4840'font-size:10.0pt'>employee_getName</span></span> operation for the
4841abstract <span class="CodeText"><span style=
4842'font-size:10.0pt'>employee</span></span> type:</p>
4843<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; typedef /*@abstract@*/ struct

4847<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; } *employee;</p>
4848<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8230;</p>
4849<p class="Verbatim">&nbsp;&nbsp; char *employee_getName (employee
4850e) { return e-&gt;name; }</p>
4851<p class="afterlist">Splint produces a message to indicate that the
4852return value exposes the representation.&nbsp; One solution would
4853be to return a fresh copy of <span class=
4854 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>e-&gt;name</span></span>.&nbsp;
4855 This is expensive, though, especially if we expect
4856 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
4857 'font-size:10.0pt'>employee_getName</span></span> is used
4858 mainly just to get a string for searching or printing.&nbsp;
4859 Instead, we could change the declaration of <span class=
4860 "CodeText"><span style=
4861 'font-size:10.0pt'>employee_getName</span></span> to:</p>
4862<p class="example">extern /*@observer@*/ char *employee_getName
4863(employee e);</p>
4864<p class="TextFontCX">Now, the original implementation is
4865correct.&nbsp; The declaration indicates that the caller may not
4866modify the result, so it is acceptable to return shared
4867storage.&nbsp; (The program must also not use the returned observer
4868storage after any other calls to the abstract type module using the
4869same parameter.&nbsp; Splint does not attempt to check this, and in
4870practice it is rarely a problem.)&nbsp; Splint checks that the
4871caller does not modify the return value.&nbsp; An error is reported
4872if observer storage is modified directly, passed as a function
4873parameter that may be modified, assigned to a global variable or
4874reference derivable from a global variable that is not declared
4875with an <span class="Annot"><span style=
4876'font-size: 10.0pt'>observer</span></span> annotation , or returned
4877as a function result or a reference derivable from the function

4910(note that if the parameter is annotated with <span class=

5025Function Interfaces</a></a></h1>
5026<p class="TextFontCX">Functions communicate with their calling
5027environment through an interface.&nbsp; The caller communicates the
5028values of actual parameters and global variables to the function,
5029and the function communicates to the caller through the return
5030value, global variables and storage reachable from the actual
5031parameters.&nbsp; By keeping interfaces narrow (restricting the
5032amount of information visible across a function interface), we can
5033understand and implement functions independently.&nbsp;</p>
5034<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5035<p class="TextFontCX">A function prototype documents the interface
5036to a function.&nbsp; It serves as a contract between the function
5037and its caller.&nbsp; In early versions of C, the function
5038&#8220;prototype&#8221; was very limited.&nbsp; It described the
5039type returned by the function but nothing about its
5040parameters.&nbsp; ANSI C (1989) provided function prototypes with
5041the ability to add information on the number and types of parameter
5042to a function.&nbsp; Splint provides the means to express much more
5043about a function interface such as what global variable the
5044function may use and what values visible to the caller it may
5045modify.</p>
5046<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5047<p class="TextFontCX">The extra interface information places
5048constraints on both how the function may be called and how it may
5049be implemented.&nbsp; Splint reports places where these constraints
5050are not satisfied.&nbsp; Typically, these indicate bugs in the code
5051or errors in the interface documentation.</p>
5052<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5053<p class="TextFontCX">This section describes annotations that may
5054be added to a function declaration to document what global
5055variables the function implementation may use and what values
5056visible to its caller it may modify.</p>

5062Modifications</a></h2>
5063<p class="TextFontCX">The modifies clause lists what values visible
5064to the caller may be modified by a function.&nbsp; Modifies clauses
5065limit what values a function may modify, but they do not require
5066that listed values are always modified.&nbsp; The declaration,</p>
5067<p class="example">int f (int *p, int *q) /*@modifies *p@*/;</p>
5068<p class="TextFontCX">declares a function <span class=
5069"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>f</span></span> that may
5070modify the value pointed to by its first argument but may not
5071modify the value of its second argument or any global state.</p>
5072<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5073<p class="TextFontCX">Splint checks that a function does not modify
5074any caller-visible value not encompassed by its modifies clause and
5075does modify all values listed in its modifies clause on some
5076possible execution of the function.&nbsp; Figure 12 shows an
5077example of modifies checking done by Splint.</p>

5169though a client cannot access the internal state directly, it is
5170important to know that something may be modified by the function
5171call both for clear documentation and for checking undefined order

5204Missing Modifies Clauses</a></h3>
5205<p class="TextFontCX">Splint is designed so programs with many

5207effectively.&nbsp; Unless <span class="Flag"><span style=

5211<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5212<p class="TextFontCX">A function with no modifies clause is an
5213<i>unconstrained</i> function since there are no documented
5214constraints on what it may modify.&nbsp; When an unconstrained
5215function is called, it is checked differently from a function
5216declared with a modifies clause.&nbsp; To prevent spurious errors,

5232Global Variables</a></h2>
5233<p class="TextFontCX">Another aspect of a function&#8217;s
5234interface, is the global variables it uses.&nbsp; A globals list in
5235a function declaration lists external variables that may be used in
5236the function body.&nbsp; Splint checks that global variables used
5237in a procedure match those listed in its globals list. A global is
5238used in a function if it appears in the body directly, or it is in
5239the globals list of a function called in the body. Splint reports
5240if a global that is used in a procedure is not listed in its
5241globals list, and if a listed global is not used in the function
5242implementation.&nbsp; Figure 13 shows an example function
5243definition with a globals list and associated checking done by
5244Splint.</p>

5370Definition State</h3>
5371<p class="TextFontCX">Annotations can be used in the globals list
5372of a function declaration to describe the states of global
5373variables before and after the call.&nbsp; If a global is preceded
5374by <span class="Annot"><span style=
5375'font-size:10.0pt'>undef</span></span>, it is assumed to be
5376undefined before the call. Thus, no error is reported if the global
5377is not defined when the function is called, but an error is
5378reported if the global is used in the function body before it is
5379defined.&nbsp; The <span class="Annot"><span style=
5380'font-size:10.0pt'>killed</span></span> annotation denotes a
5381global&nbsp;variable that may be undefined when the call
5382returns.&nbsp; For globals that contain dynamically allocated
5383storage, a <span class="Annot"><span style=
5384'font-size:10.0pt'>killed</span></span> global variable is similar
5385to an <span class="Annot"><span style=
5386'font-size:10.0pt'>only</span></span>&nbsp;parameter (Section
53875.2).&nbsp; An error is reported if it contains the only reference
5388to storage that is not released before the call returns.&nbsp;

5468Declaration Consistency</a></h2>
5469<p class="TextFontCX">Splint checks that function declarations and
5470definitions are consistent.&nbsp; The general rule is that the
5471<i>first</i> declaration of a function implies all later
5472declarations and definitions.&nbsp; If a function is declared in a
5473header file, the first declaration processed is its first
5474declaration (if it is declared in more than one header file an
5475error is reported if <span class="Flag"><span style=
5476'font-size:10.0pt'>redecl</span></span>&nbsp;is set)
5477 <span style='display:none'>(if the same function is declared
5478 in more than one header file ???)</span>.&nbsp; Otherwise,
5479 the first declaration in the file defining the function is
5480 its first declaration.</p>
5481<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5482<p class="TextFontCX">Later declarations may not include variables
5483in the globals list that were not included in the first
5484declaration.&nbsp; The exception to this is when the first
5485declaration is in a header file and the later declaration or
5486definition includes file static variables.&nbsp; Since these are
5487not visible in the header file, they can not be included in the
5488header file declaration.&nbsp; Similarly, the modifies clause of a
5489later declaration may not include objects that are not modifiable
5490in the first declaration.&nbsp; The later declaration may be more
5491specific.&nbsp; For example, if the header declaration is:</p>
5492<p class="example" style='text-indent:.3in'>extern void setName
5493(employee e, char *s) /*@modifies e@*/;</p>
5494<p class="TextFontCX">the later declaration could be,</p>
5495<p class="example">&nbsp;&nbsp; void setName (employee e, char *)
5496/*@modifies e-&gt;name@*/;</p>
5497<p class="TextFontCX">If <span class="CodeText"><span style=
5498'font-size:10.0pt'>employee</span></span> is an abstract type, the
5499declaration in the header should not refer to a particular
5500implementation (i.e., it shouldn&#8217;t rely on there being a
5501<span class="CodeText"><span style=
5502'font-size:10.0pt'>name</span></span> field), but the
5503implementation declaration can be more specific.&nbsp;</p>
5504<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5505<p class="TextFontCX">This rule also applies to file static
5506variables.&nbsp; The header declaration for a function that
5507modifies a file static variable should use <span class=
5508"Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>modifies
5509internalState</span></span> since file static variables are not
5510visible to clients.&nbsp; The implementation declaration should
5511list the actual file static variables that may be modified.</p>

5515State Clauses</a></h2>
5516<p class="TextFontCX">Sometimes it is necessary to specify function
5517interfaces at a lower level than is possible with the standard
5518annotations.&nbsp; For example, if a function defines some fields
5519of a returned structure but does not define all the fields.&nbsp;
5520The <span class="Annot"><span style=
5521'font-size:10.0pt'>/*@special@*/</span></span> annotation is used
5522to mark a parameter, global variable, or return value that is
5523described using state clauses.&nbsp;</p>
5524<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5525<p class="TextFontCX">State clauses may be used to constrain the
5526state of a parameter or return value before or after a call.&nbsp;
5527One or more state clauses may appear in a function declaration,
5528before the modifies or globals clauses.&nbsp; State clauses may be
5529listed in any order, but the same state clause should not be used
5530more than once.&nbsp; In a state clause list, <span class=
5531"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>result</span></span> is
5532used to refer to the return value of the function.&nbsp;</p>
5533<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
5534<p class="TextFontCX" style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>The following
5535state clauses are used to describe the definition state or

5587and an error is reported if they refer to live, allocated storage
5588at any return point.</p>

5590<p class="TextFontCX">Some examples of state clauses are shown in

5597 pointed to by the result is defined, but the <span class=
5598 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>name</span></span>
5599 field is not.&nbsp; So, <span class="CodeText"><span style=

5601 <span class="CodeText"><span style=

5605 clause for <span class="CodeText"><span style=

5824Execution</a></h2>
5825<p class="TextFontCX">To detect certain errors and avoid spurious
5826errors, it is important to know something about the control flow
5827behavior of called functions. Without additional information,
5828Splint assumes that all functions eventually return and execution
5829continues normally at the call site.&nbsp;</p>

5841 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>fatalerror</span></span>

5850usually) return normally.&nbsp; The <span class=
5851 "Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>maynotreturn</span></span>
5852 annotation denotes a function that may or may not
5853 return.&nbsp; This may be useful for documentation, but does
5854 not help checking much, since Splint must assume that a
5855 function declared with <span class="Annot"><span style=
5856 'font-size:10.0pt'>maynotreturn</span></span> returns
5857 normally when checking the code.&nbsp; The <span class=
5858 "Annot"><span style=

5868may be used.&nbsp; Similar to <span class=

5870 and <span class="Annot"><span style=
5871 'font-size:10.0pt'>falsewhennull</span></span> (see Section

5874 <span class="Annot"><span style=

5876 a function never returns if the value of its first argument

6048report errors when unconstrained functions are called in procedure
6049arguments.&nbsp; Since Splint has no annotations to constrain what
6050these functions may modify, it cannot be guaranteed that the
6051evaluation order is defined if another argument calls an
6052unconstrained function or uses a global variable or storage
6053reachable from a parameter to the unconstrained function.&nbsp; Its
6054best to add modifies and globals clauses to constrain the
6055unconstrained functions in ways that eliminate the possibility of
6056undefined behavior.&nbsp; For large legacy systems, this may
6057require too much effort.&nbsp; Instead, the <span class=

6156Likely Infinite Loops</a></h3>
6157<p class="TextFontCX">Splint reports an error if it detects a loop
6158that appears to be infinite.&nbsp; An error is reported for a loop
6159that does not modify any value used in its condition test inside
6160the body of the loop or in the condition test itself.&nbsp; This
6161checking is enhanced by modifies clauses and globals lists (see
6162Section 7) since they <a name="_Ref344818734">provide more
6163information about what global variable may be used in the condition
6164test and what values may be modified by function calls in the loop
6165body.</a></p>
6166<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
6167<p class="TextFontCX">Figure 17 shows examples of infinite
6168loops&nbsp;detected by Splint. An error is reported for the loop in
6169line 14, since neither of the values used in the loop condition
6170(<span class="CodeText"><span style=
6171'font-size:10.0pt'>x</span></span> directly and <span class=
6172"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>glob1</span></span>
6173through the call to <span class="CodeText"><span style=
6174'font-size:10.0pt'>f</span></span>) is modified by the body of the
6175loop.&nbsp; If the declaration of <span class=
6176"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>g</span></span> is
6177changed to include <span class="CodeText"><span style=
6178'font-size:10.0pt'>glob1</span></span> in the modifies clause no
6179error is reported.&nbsp; (In this example, if we assume the
6180annotations are correct, then the programmer has probably called
6181the wrong function in the loop body.&nbsp; This isn&#8217;t
6182surprising, given the horrible choices of function and variable
6183names!)</p>
6184<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
6185<p class="TextFontCX">If an unconstrained function is called within
6186the loop body, Splint will assume that it modifies a value used in

6190<span class="Flag"><span style=

6192report infinite loop errors for loops where there is no explicit

6717<p class="TextFontCX">Buffer overflow errors are a particularly
6718dangerous type of bug in C programs.&nbsp; They are directly
6719responsible for about half of all security attacks
6720[Larochelle01].&nbsp; For performance reasons, C does not perform
6721run time bounds checking.&nbsp; Referencing storage outside
6722allocated regions can cause memory corruption and lead to strange
6723behavior.&nbsp; Moreover, buffer overflow bugs are particularly
6724insidious because they can go undetected in testing or normal use,
6725but usually result in security critical bugs.&nbsp; Reads beyond
6726the end of a buffer can cause the program to leak
6727information.&nbsp; Writes beyond the end a buffer (buffer
6728overflows) can usually be exploited make the program run arbitrary
6729code.&nbsp; Attackers can exploit these programming bugs to replace
6730the return address on the stack and place arbitrary code in memory
6731thereby gaining full access to the machine.&nbsp; Splint is able to
6732detect many memory bounds errors. <a href="#_ftn12" name=

9645dee1 6968For some programs, Splint's standard bounds checking produces an
6969unacceptably high number of warnings. Because of this, Splint now
6970prioritizes warnings using a simple heuristic. The flags
6971<span class="Flag"><span style=
6972'font-size:10.0pt'>likely-bounds</span></span>, <span class=
6973"Flag"><span style=
6974'font-size:10.0pt'>likely-bounds-writes</span></span>, and
6975<span class="Flag"><span style=

6981'font-size:10.0pt'>bounds-read</span></span>, but they only cause
6982Splint to produce warnings for what it determines are likely bounds
6983errors. Splint classifies an unresolved constraint as a likely
6984bounds error if it can reduce the constraint to a numerical
6985inconsistency such as <span class="Verbatim">5 &gt;= 10</span>.
6986Warnings for these constraints are more likely to be legitimate --
6987indicating real bugs or the lack of annotations. Additionally, when
6988these warnings are false positives, it is easier for humans to
6989recognize them as spurious. These flags generate significantly
6990fewer errors (an order of magnitude in some cases), and the errors
6991generated are easier to understand. However, this does not come
6992without cost. The checking is significantly less precise and is
04c4d6c2 6993likely to miss real errors.</p>

7052(such as <span class="CodeText"><span style=

7205<p class="TextFontCX">A large class of useful checks can be
7206described as constraints on attributes associated with program
7207objects or the global execution state. Unlike types, however, the
7208values of these attributes can change along an execution
7209path.&nbsp; Splint provides a general language that lets users
7210define attributes associated with different kinds of program
7211objects as well as rules that both constrain attributes&#8217;
7212values at interface points and specify how attributes
7213change.&nbsp;</p>
7214<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7215<p class="TextFontCX">Because user-defined attribute checking is
7216integrated with normal checking, Splint&#8217;s analysis of
7217user-defined attributes can take advantage of other analyses, such
7218as alias and nullness analysis.</p>

7222Defining Attributes</a></h2>
7223<p class="TextFontCX">To define an attribute, create a metastate
7224file (<span class="ProgramNameChar"><span style=
7225'font-size: 10.0pt'>.mts</span></span>) that defined the possible
7226values and transfer rules of the attribute.&nbsp; Attributes can
7227either be associated with a particular kind of program object (for
7228example, all <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7229'font-size:10.0pt'>char *</span></span>&#8217;s) or with the global
7230state (whether or not the network has been initialized).&nbsp; The
7231<span class="Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>&#8211;mts
7232<i>&lt;file&gt;</i></span></span> flag is used to direct Splint to
7233read a metastate file (which will be found on the
7234 <span class="CodeText"><span style=

7238<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7239<p class="TextFontCX">An example attribute definition is shown in
7240Figure 22.&nbsp; It defines the <span class=
7241 "Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>taintedness</span></span>
7242 attribute for recording whether or not a <span class=
7243 "CodeText"><span style='font-size: 10.0pt'>char
7244 *</span></span> came from a possibly untrustworthy
7245 source.&nbsp; Knowing whether a value is possibly hostile is
7246 useful for preventing several security vulnerabilities

7252 (A simpler way to detect format vulnerabilities is to warn
7253 for any format string that is unknown at compile time. Splint
7254 provides this checking, issuing a warning if the <span class=
7255 "Flag"><span style=
7256 'font-size:10.0pt'>+formatconst</span></span> flag is set and
7257 finds any unknown format strings at compile time. This can
7258 produce spurious messages, however, because there might be
7259 unknown format strings that are not vulnerable to hostile
7260 input.)</p>

7277 "Annot"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>taintedness</span></span>
7278 attribute.&nbsp; Other contexts include <span class=

7287 Attribute can also be defined that are not associated with
7288 any particular object, but instead are associated with the
7289 global state of a program execution.&nbsp; The <span class=

7377the reference changes state after a transfer.&nbsp; A
7378 <span class="Annot"><span style=

7380 used in taintedness) is similar to a <span class=

7382 'font-size:10.0pt'>transfers</span></span> clause, except it
7383 is used to provide rules for when a reference to storage is

7385 returning from a function, or assigning it to a new
7386 value.</p>

7414<p class="TextFontCX">The <span class="Annot"><span style=

7417We choose default values to make it easy to start checking an
7418unannotated program. Here we assume unannotated references are
7419<span class="Annot"><span style=

7421warning where unannotated references are passed to functions that

7519<p class="TextFontCX">Macros are commonly used in C programs to
7520implement constants or to mimic functions without the overhead of a

7522are a persistent source of bugs in C programs, since they may not

7528dangerous macro invocations.&nbsp; Whether or not a macro
7529definition is checked or expanded normally depends on flag settings

7555Function-like Macros</a></h2>
7556<p class="TextFontCX">Using macros to imitate functions is
7557notoriously dangerous.&nbsp; Consider this broken macro for
7558squaring a number:</p>
7559<p class="example"># define square(x) x * x</p>
7560<p class="TextFontCX">This works fine for a simple invocation like
7561<span class="CodeText"><span style=
7562'font-size:10.0pt'>square(i)</span></span>.&nbsp; It behaves
7563unexpectedly, though, if it is instantiated with a parameter that
7564has a side effect.&nbsp; For example, <span class=
7565"CodeText"><span style=
7566'font-size: 10.0pt'>square(i++)</span></span> expands to
7567<span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>i++ *
7568i++</span></span>.&nbsp; Not only does this give the incorrect
7569result, it has undefined behavior since the order in which the
7570operands are evaluated is not defined.&nbsp; (See Section 8.2 for
7571more information on how expressions exhibiting undefined evaluation
7572order behavior are detected by Splint.)&nbsp; To correct the
7573problem we either need to rewrite the macro so that its parameter
7574is evaluated exactly once, or prevent clients from invoking the
7575macro with a parameter that has a side effect.&nbsp;</p>
7576<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7577<p class="TextFontCX">Another possible problem with macros is that
7578they may produce unexpected results because of operator precedence
7579rules.&nbsp; The instantiation, <span class=
7580 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>square(i+1)</span></span>
7581 expands to <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7582 'font-size:10.0pt'>i+1*i+1</span></span>, which evaluates to
7583 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7584 'font-size:10.0pt'>i+i+1</span></span> instead of the square
7585 of <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7586 'font-size:10.0pt'>i+1</span></span>.&nbsp; To ensure the
7587 expected behavior, the macro parameter should be enclosed in
7588 parentheses where it is used in the macro body.</p>
7589<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7590<p class="TextFontCX">Macros may also behave unexpectedly if they
7591are not syntactically equivalent to an expression.&nbsp; Consider
7592the macro definition,</p>
7593<p class="example"># define incCounts()&nbsp; ntotal++;
7594ncurrent++;</p>
7595<p class="TextFontCX">This works fine, unless it is used as a
7596statement.&nbsp; For example,</p>
7597<p class="example">if (x &lt; 3) incCounts();</p>
7598<p class="TextFontCX">increments <span class=
7599 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>ntotal</span></span>
7600 if <span class="CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>x
7601 &lt; 3</span></span> but always increments <span class=
7602 "CodeText"><span style=
7603 'font-size:10.0pt'>ncurrent</span></span>.</p>
7604<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7605<p class="TextFontCX">One solution is to use the comma operator to
7606define the macro:</p>
7607<p class="example"># define incCounts()&nbsp; (ntotal++,
7608ncurrent++)</p>
7609<p class="beforelist">More complicated macros can be written using

7781Controlling Macro Checking</a></h2>
7782<p class="TextFontCX">By default, Splint expands macros normally
7783and checks the resulting code after macros have been
7784expanded.&nbsp; Flags and control comments may be used to control
7785which macros are expanded and which are checked as functions or
7786constants.</p>
7787<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7788<p class="TextFontCX">If the <span class="Flag"><span style=
7789'font-size:10.0pt'>fcn-macros</span></span> flag is on, Splint
7790assumes all macros defined with parameter lists implement functions
7791and checks them accordingly.&nbsp; Parameterized macros are not
7792expanded and are checked as functions with unknown result and
7793parameter types (or using the types in the prototype, if one is
7794given).&nbsp; The analogous flag for macros that define constants
7795is <span class="Flag"><span style=
7796'font-size:10.0pt'>const-macros</span></span>.&nbsp; If it is on,
7797macros with no parameter lists are assumed to be constants, and
7798checked accordingly.&nbsp; The <span class=
7799 "Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>all-macros</span></span>
7800 flag sets both <span class="Flag"><span style=
7801 'font-size:10.0pt'>fcn-macros</span></span> and <span class=
7802 "Flag"><span style=
7803 'font-size:10.0pt'>const-macros</span></span>.&nbsp; If the
7804 <span class="Flag"><span style=
7805 'font-size:10.0pt'>macro-fcn-decl</span></span>&nbsp;flag is
7806 set, a message reports parameterized macros with no
7807 corresponding function prototype.&nbsp; If the <span class=
7808 "Flag"><span style=
7809 'font-size:10.0pt'>macro-const-decl</span></span>&nbsp;flag
7810 is set, a similar message reports macros with no parameters
7811 that have no corresponding constant declaration.</p>
7812<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7813<p class="beforelist">The macro checks described in the previous
7814sections make sense only for macros that are intended to replace
7815functions or constants.&nbsp; When <span class=

7819 general macros need to be marked so they will not be checked
7820 as functions or constants, and will be expanded
7821 normally.&nbsp; Macros that are not meant to behave like
7822 functions should be preceded by the /<span class=
7823 "Annot"><span style=

7848Iterators</a></h2>
7849<p class="TextFontCX">It is often useful to be able to execute the
7850same code for many different values.&nbsp; For example, we may want
7851to sum all elements in an <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7852'font-size:10.0pt'>intSet</span></span> that represents a set of
7853integers.&nbsp; If <span class="CodeText"><span style=
7854'font-size:10.0pt'>intSet</span></span> is an abstract type, there
7855is no easy way of doing this in a client module without depending
7856on the concrete representation of the type.&nbsp; Instead, we could
7857provide such a mechanism as part of the type&#8217;s
7858implementation.&nbsp; We call a mechanism for looping through many
7859values an <i>iterator</i>.</p>
7860<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7861<p class="TextFontCX">The C language provides no mechanism for
7862creating user-defined iterators.&nbsp; Splint supports a stylized
7863form of iterators declared using syntactic comments and defined
7864using macros.</p>
7865<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
7866<p class="TextFontCX">Iterator declarations are similar to function
7867declarations except instead of returning a value, they assign
7868values to their <span class="Annot"><span style=
7869'font-size:10.0pt'>yield</span></span> parameters in each
7870iteration.&nbsp; For example, we could add this iterator
7871declaration to <span class="Keyword"><span style=
7872'font-size:10.0pt;font-family: Arial;color:windowtext'>intSet.h</span></span>:</p>
7873<p class="example">/*@iter intSet_elements (intSet s, yield int
7874el);@*/</p>
7875<p class="TextFontCX">The <span class="Annot"><span style=
7876'font-size:10.0pt'>yield</span></span> annotation means that the
7877variable passed as the second actual argument is declared as a

7979issue. Generally, it doesn't matter too much what naming convention
7980is followed as long as one is chosen and followed
7981religiously.&nbsp; There are two kinds of naming conventions
7982supported by Splint.&nbsp; Type-based naming conventions (Section
798312.1) constrain identifier names according to the abstract
7984types&nbsp;that are accessible where the identifier is
7985defined.&nbsp; Prefix naming conventions (Section 12.2) constrain
7986the initial characters of identifier names according to what is
7987being declared and its scope.&nbsp; Naming conventions may be
7988combined or different conventions may be selected for different
7989kinds of identifiers.&nbsp; In addition, Splint supports checking
7990that names do not conflict with names reserved for the standard
7991library or implementation (Section 12.3) and are sufficiently
7992distinguishable from other names.</p>

8155Namespace Prefixes</a></h2>
8156<p class="TextFontCX">Another way to restrict names is to constrain
8157the leading character sequences of various kinds of
8158identifiers.&nbsp; For example, the names of all user-defined types
8159might begin with <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8160'font-size:10.0pt'>T</span></span> followed by an uppercase letter
8161and all file static names begin with an uppercase letter.&nbsp;
8162This may be useful for enforcing a namespace (e.g., all names
8163exported by the X-windows library should begin with
8164 <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8165 'font-size:10.0pt'>X</span></span>) or just making programs
8166 easier to understand by establishing an enforced
8167 convention.&nbsp; Splint can be used to constrain identifiers
8168 in this way to detect identifiers inconsistent with
8169 prefixes.</p>
8170<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
8171<p class="TextFontCX">All namespace flags are of the form,
8172<span class="Flag"><span style=
8173'font-size:10.0pt'>-<i>&lt;context&gt;</i>prefix
8174<i>&lt;string&gt;</i></span></span>.&nbsp; For example, the macro
8175variable namespace restricting identifiers declared in macro bodies
8176to be preceded by <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8177'font-size:10.0pt'>m_</span></span> would be selected by
8178<span class="Flag"><span style=
8179'font-size:10.0pt'>-macrovarprefix</span></span> <span class=
8180"Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>"m_"</span></span>.&nbsp; The
8181string may contain regular characters that may appear in a C
8182identifier.&nbsp; These must match the initial characters of the
8183identifier name.&nbsp; In addition, special characters (shown in
8184Figure 23) can be used to denote a class of characters.<a href=
8185"#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18" title=""><span class=
8186"MsoFootnoteReference"><span class=
8187"MsoFootnoteReference"><span style=
8188'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>[18]</span></span></span></a>&nbsp;
8189The <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8190'font-size:10.0pt'>*</span></span> character may be used at the end
8191of a prefix string to specify the rest of the identifier is zero or
8192more characters matching the character immediately before the
8193<span class="CodeText"><span style=
8194'font-size:10.0pt'>*</span></span>.&nbsp; For example, the prefix
8195string <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8196'font-size:10.0pt'>T&amp;*</span></span> matches <span class=
8197"CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>T</span></span> or

8525Restrictions may be different for names that are needed by the

8527during compilations (<i>internal</i> names).&nbsp; Names of

8543<p class="TextFontCX">Many names are reserved for the

8546prefixes such as <span class="CodeText"><span style=
8547'font-size:10.0pt'>str</span></span> followed by a lowercase
8548character are reserved for future library extensions.&nbsp; Most C

8550unpredictable program behavior.&nbsp; If <span class=

8559about identifier names that are keywords or reserved words in
8560C++.&nbsp; This is useful if the code may later be compiled with a
8561C++ compiler (of course, this is not enough to ensure the meaning
8562of the code is not changed when it is compiled as C++.)</p>

8567<p class="TextFontCX">Splint can check that names differ within a
8568given number of characters, optionally ignoring alphabetic case and
8569differences between characters that look similar.&nbsp; The number

8575the number of significant characters for external names to six and
8576makes alphabetical case insignificant for external names.&nbsp;
8577This is the minimum significance acceptable in an ANSI-conforming
8578compiler.&nbsp; Most modern compilers exceed these minimums (which
8579are particularly hard to follow if one uses the Czech or Slovak
8580naming convention).&nbsp; The number of significant characters can
8581be changed using the <span class="Flag"><span style=
8582'font-size:10.0pt'>external-name-length
8583<i>&lt;number&gt;</i></span></span> flag.&nbsp; If
8584 <span class="Flag"><span style=
8585 'font-size:10.0pt'>external-name-case-insensitive</span></span>
8586 is on, alphabetical case is ignored in comparing external
8587 names. Splint reports identifiers that differ only in
8588 alphabetic case.</p>
8589<p class="TextFontCX">For internal identifiers, a conforming
8590compiler must recognize at least 31 characters and treat
8591alphabetical cases distinctly.&nbsp; Nevertheless, it may still be
8592useful to check that internal names are more distinct then required
8593by the compiler to minimize the likelihood that identifiers are
8594confused in the program.&nbsp; Analogously to external names, the

8597<span style=

8600<span class="Flag"><span style=
8601'font-size:10.0pt'>internal-name-case-insensitive</span></span>
8602sets the case sensitivity.&nbsp; The <span class=
8603 "Flag"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>internal-name-look-alike</span></span>
8604 flag further restricts distinctions between
8605 identifiers.&nbsp; When set, similar-looking characters match
8606 &#8212; the lowercase letter <span class=
8607 "CodeText"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>l</span></span>
8608 matches the uppercase letter <span class=

8623 are not distinct except for look-alike characters will
8624 produce an error message.&nbsp; External names are also
8625 internal names, so they must satisfy both the external and
8626 internal distinct identifier checks.&nbsp; Figure 24 provides
8627 some examples of distinct name checking.</p>

9166<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
9167<p class="TextFontCX">Sometimes headers in system directories
9168contain non-standard syntax that Splint is unable to parse.&nbsp;
9169The <span class="Flag"><span style=
9170'font-size:10.0pt'>+skip-sys-headers</span></span>&nbsp;flag may be
9171used to prevent any include file in a system directory from being
9172included.</p>
9173<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
9174<p class="TextFontCX">Splint is fast enough that it can be run on
9175medium-size (10,000 line) programs without performance
9176concerns.&nbsp; Libraries can be used to enable efficient checking
9177of small modules in large programs.&nbsp; To further improve
9178performance, header file inclusion can be optimized.</p>
9179<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
9180<p class="TextFontCX">When processing a complete system in which
9181many files include the same headers, a large fraction of processing
9182time is wasted re-reading header files unnecessarily.&nbsp; If you
9183are checking a 100-file program, and every file includes
9184<span class="Flag"><span style=
9185'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>utils.h</span></span>,
9186Splint will have to process <span class=
9187 "Keyword"><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>
9188utils.h</span></span> 100 times (as would most C compilers).&nbsp;
9189If the <span class="Flag"><span style=
9190'font-size:10.0pt'>+single-include</span></span> flag is used, each
9191header file is processed only once.&nbsp; Single header file
9192processing produces a significant efficiency improvement when
9193checking large programs split into many files, but is only safe if
9194the same header file included in different contexts always has the
9195same meaning (i.e., it does not depend on preprocessor variable
9196defined differently at different inclusion sites).</p>
9197<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
9198<p class="TextFontCX">When processing a single file in a large
9199system, a large fraction of the time is spent processing included
9200header files.&nbsp; This can be avoided if the information in the
9201header files is stored in a library instead.&nbsp; If
9202 <span class="Flag"><span style=
9203 'font-size:10.0pt'>+never-include</span></span> is set,
9204 inclusion of files ending in <span class="Flag"><span style=
9205 'font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.h</span></span>
9206 is prevented.&nbsp; Files with different suffixes are
9207 included normally.&nbsp; To do this the header files must not
9208 include any expanded macros. That is, the header file must be
9209 processed with <span class="Flag"><span style=
9210 'font-size:10.0pt'>+all-macros</span></span>, and there must
9211 be no <span class="Annot"><span style=
9212 'font-size:10.0pt'>/*@notfunction@*/</span></span>&nbsp;control
9213 comments in the header.&nbsp; Then, the <span class=
9214 "Flag"><span style=
9215 'font-size:10.0pt'>+never-include</span></span> flag may be
9216 used to prevent inclusion of header files.&nbsp; Alternately,
9217 non-function macros can be moved to a different file with a
9218 name that does not end in <span class="Keyword"><span style=
9219 'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.h</span></span>.&nbsp;
9220 Remember, that this file must be included directly from the
9221 <span class="Keyword"><span style=
9222 'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.c</span></span>
9223 file, since if it is included from an <span class=
9224 "Keyword"><span style=
9225 'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.h</span></span>
9226 file indirectly, that <span class="Keyword"><span style=
9227 'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.h</span></span>
9228 file is ignored so the other file is never included.</p>
9229<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
9230<p class="TextFontCX">These options can be used for significant
9231performance improvements on large systems.&nbsp; The performance
9232depends on how the code is structured, but checking a single module
9233in a large program is several times faster if libraries and
9234<span class="Flag"><span style=
9235'font-size:10.0pt'>+noinclude</span></span> are used.</p>

18433<p class="TextFontCX">Another way of providing more information
18434about programs is to use formal specifications.&nbsp; Although this
18435document has largely ignored specifications, Splint was originally
18436designed to use the information in LCL specifications instead of
18437source-code annotations.&nbsp; This document focuses on annotations
18438since it takes less effort to add annotations to source code than
18439to maintain an additional specification file.&nbsp; Annotations can
18440express everything that can be expressed in LCL specifications that
18441is relevant to Splint checking.&nbsp; However, LCL specifications
18442can provide more precise documentation on program interfaces than
18443is possible with Splint annotations.&nbsp; This appendix (extracted
18444from [Evans94]) is a very brief introduction to LCL
18445Specifications.&nbsp; For more information, consult
18446[GH93].&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
18447<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
18448<p class="TextFontCX">The Larch family of languages is a two-tiered
18449approach to formal specification. A specification is built using
18450two languages &#8212; the <i>Larch Shared Language</i> (LSL), which
18451is independent of the implementation language, and a <i>Larch
18452Interface Language</i> designed for the specific implementation
18453language.&nbsp; An LSL specification defines <i>sorts</i>,
18454analogous to abstract&nbsp;types in a programming language, and
18455<i>operators</i>, analogous to procedures.&nbsp; It expresses the
18456underlying semantics of an abstraction.</p>
18457<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
18458<p class="TextFontCX">The interface language specifies an interface
18459to an abstraction in a particular programming language.&nbsp; It
18460captures the details of the interface needed by a client using the
18461abstraction and places constraints on both correct implementations
18462and uses of the module.&nbsp; The semantics of the interface are
18463described using primitives and sorts and operators defined in LSL
18464specifications.&nbsp; Interface languages have been designed for
18465several programming languages.</p>
18466<p class="TextFontCX">&nbsp;</p>
18467<p class="TextFontCX">LCL [GH93, Tan95] is a Larch interface
18468language for Standard C.&nbsp; LCL uses a C-like syntax.&nbsp;
18469Traditionally, a C module <span class=
18470 "Keyword"><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:windowtext'>
18471M</span></i></span> consists of a source file, <span class=

18474<span style=

18476and a header file, <span class="Keyword"><i><span style=
18477'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>M</span></i></span><span class="Keyword">
18478<span style=
18479'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>.h</span></span>.&nbsp;
18480The header file contains prototype declarations for functions,
18481variables and constants exported by <span class=
18482"Keyword"><i><span style=
18483'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>M</span></i></span>,
18484as well as those macro definitions that implement exported
18485functions or constants, and definitions of exported types. When

19070 Lint is a common programming tool for detecting anomalies in C
19071 programs.&nbsp; S. C. Johnson developed the original lint in the
19072 late seventies, mainly because early versions of C did not
19073 support function prototypes.&nbsp; Splint was originally named
19074 LCLint because it was originally intended to check for
19075 inconsistencies between LCL specifications and C
19076 implementations.&nbsp; To reflect divergence from LCL and
19077 increased focus on detecting security vulnerabilities, the name
19078 was changed to Splint, short for &#8220;Specification
19079 Lint&#8221; and &#8220;Secure Programming Lint&#8221;.</p></div>

19132 The declaration of <span class="CodeText">free</span> has a
19133 <span class="Annot">null</span>&nbsp;annotation on the parameter
19134 to indicate that the argument may be <span class=
19135 "CodeText">NULL</span>.&nbsp; According to [ISO, 7.20.3.2],
19136 <span class="CodeText">NULL</span> may be passed to
19137 <span class="CodeText">free</span> without no action.&nbsp;
19138 On some UNIX platforms, passing <span class=
19139 "CodeText">NULL</span> to free causes a program crash so the
19140 UNIX version of the standard library specifies <span class=
19141 "CodeText">free</span> without the <span class=
19142 "Annot">null</span> annotation on its parameter. To check
19143 that allocated objects are completely destroyed (e.g., all
19144 unshared objects inside a structure are deallocated before
19145 the structure is deallocated), Splint checks that any
19146 parameter passed as an <span class="CodeText">out only void
19147 *</span> does not contain references to live, unshared
19148 objects.&nbsp; This makes sense, since such a parameter could
19149 not be used sensibly in any way other than deallocating its
19150 storage.</p></div>

19236 The most renowned C naming convention is the Hungarian naming
19237 convention, introduced by Charles Simonyi [Simonyi, Charles, and
19238 Martin Heller.&nbsp; &#8220;The Hungarian
19239 Revolution.&#8221;&nbsp; <i>BYTE</i>, August 1991, p.
19240 131-38].&nbsp; The names for Splint naming conventions follow
19241 the tradition of using Central European nationalities as
19242 mnemonics for naming conventions.&nbsp; The Splint conventions
19243 are similar to the Hungarian naming convention in that they
19244 encode type information in names, except that the Splint
19245 conventions encode the names of accessible abstract
19246 types&nbsp;instead of the type of the declaration of return
19247 value.&nbsp; Prefixes used in the Hungarian naming convention
19248 are not supported by Splint.</p>

19255 Of course, namespace prefixes should really be described by
19256 regular expressions.&nbsp; If there is sufficient interest (that
19257 is, someone volunteers to program it), regular expressions will
19258 be supported in a future version of Splint.</p></div>
