Code examples
The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:
#include <stdlib.h>
int foo(void)
{
int a = 20;
int p = rand();
if (p == 0) /* p is 0 */
a = 34 / p;
return a;
}
The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:
#include <stdlib.h>
int foo(void)
{
int a = 20;
int p = rand();
if (p != 0) /* p is not 0 */
a = 34 / p;
return a;
}
