v2.54.0

Release summary

• New queries added for the following rule packages: Linkage1, Scope
• The following changes have been made for this release:
• A3-1-4 - ExternalLinkageArrayWithoutExplicitSizeAutosar.ql:
  • ExternalLinkageArrayWithoutExplicitSize.ql has been renamed to ExternalLinkageArrayWithoutExplicitSizeAutosar.ql to reflect shared query implementation. Additionally the query previously only detected explicit uses of extern to determine external linkage, and now would catch other cases that are possible where it is external linkage and an array is declared without an explicit size.

  • Using the CodeQL CLI version 2.21.4 in conjunction with a copy of the CodeQL standard library for C++ (github/codeql) set to the tag codeql-cli/v2.21.4.
