De-reference of null pointer in SystemC Library

Hi All,

 

We have observed  Dereference of null pointer in following files :

 

sysc/datatypes/int/sc_uint_base.cpp: line 515 
sysc/datatypes/int/sc_unsigned.cpp: line 463 
sysc/datatypes/int/sc_signed.cpp: line 479 
sysc/datatypes/int/sc_int_base.cpp: line 544 
sysc/datatypes/bit/sc_bv_base.cpp: line 315 
 
Everywhere the problem is with:
 
    if( *a == 0 ) {
 
Regards, Sumit

If you look at these parts of the code, you'll see that the pointer is checked for NULL right before.  The static analysis tool just doesn't know that SC_REPORT_ERROR does not return (instead, it throws an exception by default).

 

Therefore, all of these can be seen as false positives.
