R2021a | Polyspace

File: example.c

int divide(int a, int b) 
    return a / b;   // Potential division by zero

void copy_buffer(int* dest, int* src, int size) for (int i = 0; i <= size; i++) // Off-by-one: should be i < size dest[i] = src[i];

Command (Code Prover):

polyspace-code-prover -sources example.c -main-generator -entry-points divide,copy_buffer -target-compiler gcc10 -runtime-range-analysis

Expected Output:

Fix & Re-run:

int divide(int a, int b) 
    if (b == 0) return 0;   // Green after fix
    return a / b;

void copy_buffer(int* dest, int* src, int size) for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) // Green dest[i] = src[i]; polyspace r2021a


Even though newer releases (R2022a, R2023b, R2024a) exist, R2021a remains a favorite for teams locked into specific legacy compiler toolchains. Specifically: File: example

However, if you require C++20 support or AUTOSAR C++14 guidelines, you should skip R2021a and move to R2023b or newer.
