Using the –-whatisfixed Option

The –-whatisfixed option complements the –-whatisnew option by generating a report that shows only the errors that occur in a previous cached tool report. Development or Quality Assurance teams could use this option to track security bug fixes.

The following is an example of using –-whatisfixed to display only fixed errors:

% codean --whatisfixed a.out
STATIC report of a.out showing fixed issues:
Compare the latest results against a.out.analyze/history/10:02:05May152013...

        18:         global = (int *)malloc(100);
        19:         int *p = malloc(100*sizeof(int));
        20:=>         int *q = malloc(100*sizeof(int));
        21:         free(q);
