[cfe-users] How to check custom "malloc"?

[Jean-Daniel Dupas]

Hello,

You can use the "ownership" attributes to annotate your functions. I can't find documentation for theses attributes, but there is a discussion about it at: 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16285498/is-there-an-equivalent-to-attribute-ns-returns-retained-for-a-mallocd-po

And you can also have a look at the file testing theses attributes at http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/test/Analysis/malloc-annotations.c?view=markup

As stats in the StackOverflow discussion, you may have to enable this check explicitly by passing "-Xclang -analyzer-checker=alpha.unix.MallocWithAnnotations" to clang when invoking the static analyzer.
