CERT C: Rec. EXP08-C


Checks for:

  • Pointer points outside array after arithmetic on

Implicit scaling in pointer arithmetic might be ignored

Pointer dereferenced outside its bounds

Standard library memory function called with invalid arguments

A pointer resulting from arithmetic on a pointer operand shall address an element of the same array as that
  • pointer operand
  • Subtraction between pointers to different arrays
  • Incorrect pointer scaling

Rec. fully supported. shall only be applied to pointers that address elements of the same arrayThe relational operators >, >=, < and <= shall not be applied to objects of pointer type except where they point into the same object
