ABSTRACT:
A system that automatically detects logical errors when compiling a program. The system detects such logical errors as calling a virtual function of a class passed into a function by value; virtual functions called from constructors or destructors; multiple definitions of classes, enums, or typedefs; multiple declarations of an object; mixing standard C I/O routines with C++ routines; a member function or data of a class hiding inherited member function or data; problems with the order of dynamic initialization; or failing to initialize non-static and non-class data members. The system also will suggest the use of the contact attribute for a member function that does not modify data members and suggest the use of const for parameters of functions when the parameter is not modified.
