Critical

Things previously eliminated but returned. This should always be empty.

BUGTotalDescription
ATTRIBUTE UNUSED17Do not use ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, do not bother (GDB is compiled with -Werror and, consequently, is not able to tolerate false warnings. Since -Wunused-param produces such warnings, neither that warning flag nor ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED are used by GDB

Code

Coding standard problems, portability problems, readability problems.

BUGTotalDescription
OP eol194Do not use &&, or || at the end of a line
sprintf152Do not use sprintf, instead use xstrprintf
if assignment88An IF statement's expression contains an assignment
long long54Do not use `long long', instead use LONGEST
inline25Do not use the inline attribute; since the compiler generally ignores this, better algorithm selection is needed to improved performance
editCase function20Function name starts lower case but has uppercased letters.
%ll19Do not use printf("%ll"), instead use printf("%s",phex()) to dump a `long long' value
UCASE function17Function name is uppercase.
if clause more than 50 lines0An IF statement's expression expands over 50 lines
%p0Do not use printf("%p"), instead use printf("%s",paddr()) to dump a target address, or host_address_to_string() for a host address

Comments

Problems concerning comments in source files.

BUGTotalDescription
GNU/Linux38Do not use `Linux', instead use `Linux kernel' or `GNU/Linux system'; comments should clearly differentiate between the two (this test assumes that word `Linux' appears on the same line as the word `GNU' or `kernel' or a kernel version

DOS 8.3 File Names

File names with problems on 8.3 file systems.

BUGTotalDescription
DECIMAL1.H DOS 8.3 dup6DOSCHK - the names DECIMAL1.H and libdecnumber/bid/decimal128.h resolve to the same file on a DOS 8.3 system.
For DOS, this can be fixed by modifying the file fnchange.lst.
DECIMAL3.H DOS 8.3 dup4DOSCHK - the names DECIMAL3.H and libdecnumber/bid/decimal32.h resolve to the same file on a DOS 8.3 system.
For DOS, this can be fixed by modifying the file fnchange.lst.

Deprecated

Mechanisms that have been replaced with something better, simpler, cleaner; or are no longer required by core-GDB. New code should not use deprecated mechanisms. Existing code, when touched, should be updated to use non-deprecated mechanisms. See obsolete and deprecate. (The declaration and definition are hopefully excluded from count so zero should indicate no remaining uses).

Obsolete

Mechanisms that have been replaced, but have not yet been marked as such (using the deprecated_ prefix). See deprecate and deprecated.

BUGTotalDescription
frame register read19Replace frame_register_read() with get_frame_register(), or possibly introduce a new method safe_get_frame_register()
get frame base16Replace get_frame_base with get_frame_id, get_frame_base_address, get_frame_locals_address, or get_frame_args_address.
235

Deprecate

Mechanisms that are a candidate for being made obsolete. Once core GDB no longer depends on these mechanisms and/or there is a replacement available, these mechanims can be deprecated (adding the deprecated prefix) obsoleted (put into category obsolete) or deleted. See obsolete and deprecated.

BUGTotalDescription
ATTRIBUTE UNUSED17Do not use ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, do not bother (GDB is compiled with -Werror and, consequently, is not able to tolerate false warnings. Since -Wunused-param produces such warnings, neither that warning flag nor ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED are used by GDB
ADD SHARED SYMBOL FILES0Replace ADD_SHARED_SYMBOL_FILES with nothing, not needed?
ARGSUSED0Do not use ARGSUSED, unnecessary
BIG ENDIAN0Do not use BIG_ENDIAN, instead use BFD_ENDIAN_BIG
CYGWIN32 0Do not use __CYGWIN32__, instead use __CYGWIN__ or, better, an explicit autoconf tests
FUNCTION 0Do not use __FUNCTION__, ISO C 90 does not support this macro

abort0Do not use abort, instead use internal_error; GDB should never abort
asprintf0Do not use asprintf(), instead use xstrprintf()
assert0Do not use assert, instead use gdb_assert or internal_error; assert calls abort and GDB should never call abort
assert.h0Do not include assert.h, instead include "gdb_assert.h"
basename0Do not use basename, instead use lbasename
bcmp0Do not use bcmp(), ISO C 90 implies memcmp()
bcopy0Do not use bcopy(), ISO C 90 implies memcpy() and memmove()
