Examples of errors detected by the V676 diagnostic

V676. Incorrect comparison of BOOL type variable with TRUE.


VirtualDub

V676 It is incorrect to compare the variable of BOOL type with TRUE. Correct expression is: 'ChooseColorA(& cc) != FALSE'. VirtualDub gui.cpp 665


bool guiChooseColor(HWND hwnd, COLORREF& rgbOld) {
  ....
  if (ChooseColor(&cc)==TRUE) {;
    rgbOld = cc.rgbResult;
    return true;
  }
  ....
}

If the user clicks the OK button of the dialog box, the return value is **nonzero**.

Similar errors can be found in some other places:

  • V676 It is incorrect to compare the variable of BOOL type with TRUE. Correct expression is: 'ChooseColorA(& cc) != FALSE'. VDFilters vfrotate2.cpp 54

Firebird

V676 It is incorrect to compare the variable of BOOL type with TRUE. Correct expression is: 'success == FALSE'. iscguard.cpp 667


THREAD_ENTRY_DECLARE start_and_watch_server(THREAD_ENTRY_PARAM)
{
  ....
  success = CreateProcess(....);
  if (success != TRUE)
    error = GetLastError();
  ....
}

#info If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
