# Check for malloc calls not shortly followed by initialisation.
#
# Known limitations:
# - false negative: can't see allocations spanning more than one line
# - possible false negatives, see patterns
# - false positive: malloc-malloc-init-init is not accepted
# - false positives: "non-standard" init functions (eg, the things being
# initialised is not the first arg, or initialise struct members)
#
# Since false positives are expected, the results must be manually reviewed.
#
# Typical usage: scripts/malloc-init.pl library/*.c

# cases to bear in mind:
#
# 0. foo = malloc(...); memset( foo, ... );
# 1. *foo = malloc(...); memset( *foo, ... );
# 2. type *foo = malloc(...); memset( foo, ...);
# 3. foo = malloc(...); foo_init( (type *) foo );
# 4. foo = malloc(...); for(i=0..n) { init( &foo[i] ); }
#
# The chosen patterns are a bit relaxed, but unlikely to cause false positives
# in real code (initialising *foo or &foo instead of foo will likely be caught
# by functional tests).
