So which is it?I agree with Andrew here in this sense: the in-code comment is supposed to be on the line *before* the violation, not on the same line, so I’m also wondering how it is fixing the very first violation. Cheers, LucaHi Nicola,Actually it justifies what is on either the previous line or the same because it's translated to /* -E> safe MC3R1.R7.1 1 */, where the last number is how many lines besides the current one are to be deviated (e.g. you can have 0 deviate only the current line).Just to understand, does this way: <line A> /* -E> safe MC3R1.R7.1 1 */ <line B> Justifies only line B? Because I thought so, but now I want to be sure, otherwise it doesn’t act as intended.Most of the times the current form is what's needed, as you would put the comment on a line of its own. In the case of the if that would break the formatting. The downside of doing the same thing on the table is that the first entry not to be deviated would actually be deviated. #define INSTR_INVD INSTR_ENC(X86EMUL_OPC(0x0f, 0x08), 0) This may not be problematic, since 0 could be considered an octal constant, but is an exception explicitly listed in the MISRA rule. For the same reason the line return emul_len; is deviated by the above comment, but putting an octal constant there would for sure be the result of a deliberate choice. There's the alternative of: /* SAF-2-safe */ if ( modrm_mod == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0300) && /* SAF-2-safe */ (modrm_reg & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0070) && /* SAF-2-safe */ (modrm_rm & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0007) ) to make it consistent with the table and avoid any "hidden" deviated line or, again, the modification of the translation script so that it doesn't use a fixed "1" offset, which is motivated by what you wrote on the thread of the modification of xen_analysis.py.From the documentation: In the Xen codebase, these tags will be used to document and suppress findings: - SAF-X-safe: This tag means that the next line of code contains a finding, but the non compliance to the checker is analysed and demonstrated to be safe. I understand that Eclair is capable of suppressing also the line in which the in-code suppression comment resides, but these generic Xen in-code suppression comment are meant to be used by multiple static analysis tools and many of them suppress only the line next to the comment (Coverity, cppcheck).As we see more realistic examples, it turns out that this is limiting. Given that the SAF-2-safe comment needs to go through xen-analysis.py translations anyway, could we implement something a bit more flexible in xen-analysis.py? For instance, could we implement a format with the number of lines of code like this as we discussed in a previous thread? /* SAF-2-safe start */ if ( modrm_mod == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0300) && (modrm_reg & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0070) && (modrm_rm & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0007) ) /* SAF-2-safe end */ Firstly, let ask Andrew, do you prefer this? And also this second format: if ( modrm_mod == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0300) && /* SAF-2-safe */ (modrm_reg & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0070) && /* SAF-2-safe */ (modrm_rm & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0007) ) /* SAF-2-safe */ Could we implement in xen-analysis.py a conversion that would turn the two formats above that are not understood by cppcheck into: /* cppcheck tag */ if ( modrm_mod == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0300) && /* cppcheck tag */ (modrm_reg & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0070) && /* cppcheck tag */ (modrm_rm & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0007) ) Or this is a problem because it would end up changing lines of code numbers in the source file?Yes this is the real issue why we didn’t do the /* ... start */ code /* ... end */Right so the results would be all off by a few lines of code so when you go to read the report generated by cppcheck, the references wouldn't match anymore. Before giving up and accepting that we are constrained to only formats that don't change the LOC numbers, can we check what Coverity supports? I am asking because we could get away with implementing the formats above in cppcheck, given that cppcheck is open source. But for Coverity we need to stay with what is already supported by it. Does Coverity support anything other than: <tag on previous line> <next line is code with deviation>Unfortunately not, from its documentation I can’t see anything apart from the above, I can ask someone from synopsys though to double check.I wonder how people would feel to have an exception to our coding style in these cases and have longer than 80 chars lines. I am asking because this is better than many of the other options above: I am not sure this is better. This is a long line to read. But this is a personal opinion. On the technical side, can we easily teach a tool to format this kind of exception? If not, then this should not be an exception we should implement. /* SAF-x-safe */ if ( modrm_mod == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0300) && (modrm_reg & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0070) && (modrm_rm & 7) == MASK_EXTR(instr_modrm, 0007) ) Any other ideas? Could we have a number in the comment to indicate the number of lines the comment applies to? Cheers, -- Julien Grall
