Description

Fixes #359 and #360.

This pull request addresses a number of issues with HiddenInheritedNonOverridableMemberFunction.ql:

  • Addresses potential performance issues and fix false positives related to an incorrect implementation of ordering between using declarations and function declarations in a class. We previously required the using declaration to appear first, but order does not matter.
  • Addresses potential performance issues related to matching functions by name.
  • Reduce duplication by reporting Functions not FunctionDeclarationEntrys in both the hiding and hidden declarations.
  • Exclude special member functions, which cannot be inherited.

Change request type

  • Release or process automation (GitHub workflows, internal scripts)
  • Internal documentation
  • External documentation
  • Query files (.ql, .qll, .qls or unit tests)
  • External scripts (analysis report or other code shipped as part of a release)

Rules with added or modified queries

  • No rules added
  • Queries have been added for the following rules:
    • rule number here
  • Queries have been modified for the following rules:
    • A7-3-1

Release change checklist

A change note (development_handbook.md#change-notes) is required for any pull request which modifies:

  • The structure or layout of the release artifacts.
  • The evaluation performance (memory, execution time) of an existing query.
  • The results of an existing query in any circumstance.

If you are only adding new rule queries, a change note is not required.

Author: Is a change note required?

  • Yes
  • No

🚨🚨🚨
Reviewer: Confirm that format of shared queries (not the .qll file, the
.ql file that imports it) is valid by running them within VS Code.

  • Confirmed

Reviewer: Confirm that either a change note is not required or the change note is required and has been added.

  • Confirmed

Query development review checklist

For PRs that add new queries or modify existing queries, the following checklist should be completed by both the author and reviewer:

Author

  • Have all the relevant rule package description files been checked in?
  • Have you verified that the metadata properties of each new query is set appropriately?
  • Do all the unit tests contain both "COMPLIANT" and "NON_COMPLIANT" cases?
  • Are the alert messages properly formatted and consistent with the style guide?
  • Have you run the queries on OpenPilot and verified that the performance and results are acceptable?
    As a rule of thumb, predicates specific to the query should take no more than 1 minute, and for simple queries be under 10 seconds. If this is not the case, this should be highlighted and agreed in the code review process.
  • Does the query have an appropriate level of in-query comments/documentation?
  • Have you considered/identified possible edge cases?
  • Does the query not reinvent features in the standard library?
  • Can the query be simplified further (not golfed!)

Refactor to:

 1. Avoid any potential performance problems from equating names of two
    member functions.
 2. Report the Declaration, not the DeclarationEntry of the hidden
    function, which reduces duplication.
The filter on order between overriding declaration and using was
problematic because:

 1. It produced a bad join order related to start lines.
 2. It did not check if they were in the same file.
 3. It used the wrong declaration - the order of the overriding
    declaration and the using declaration doesn't matter.

I think the intention was to confirm that the hidden declaration
appeared before the using declaration (so that it was in scope), but
errors of this kind would be identified by the
DefinitionNotConsideredForUnqualifiedLookup.ql query, so there's no
need to factor that in here.
There is no need to report every declaration entry.

This commit also fixes performance issues that occurred when making this
change.
Special member functions are not inheritable.

Do we want to apply the same optimization for cpp/autosar/src/rules/A7-3-1/HiddenInheritedOverridableMemberFunction.ql?

I updated HiddenInheritedOverridableMemberFunction.ql to apply the same logic around using declarations - e.g. not to be sensitive to the line location. I did not observe a need for the other optimizations.

A suggestion to remove results that cannot be acted upon by developers.

We keep contraventions in macro expansions and rely on deviations to exclude those that are caused by patterns outside of the control of the developer (e.g., Qt framework)
