[cfe-dev] : Clang Static Code Analyzer does not report 'Switch' Statement as a branch condition.

[Jordan Rose]

Hi, Prashant. check::BranchCondition is only intended to be used for boolean branches, since the first argument is the conditional expression used for branching.* With a switch statement, that no longer makes sense. That said, you're right that there's currently no callback for a switch statement. The right thing to do here is probably to run pre-statement checks on the terminator statement in the CFG when it's not a logical expression or conditional expression, so that the nomal check::PreStmt<SwitchStmt> would work.

Please file a bug at llvm.org/bugs/, or alternately submit a patch to cfe-commits at cs.uiuc.edu for review (and CC me or Anna).

Sorry for the trouble,
Jordan

* Implementation detail: it's a Stmt, not an Expr, because we stash the branch info for an Objective-C for-in loop on the loop statement itself. But it's still a boolean value.
