Problem:
The original code for processing function arguments contains a logical error when handling non-pointer types. Specifically, the following fragment assumes that every argument is a pointer type and calls
get_pointee()
without checking for its validity:If the argument is not a pointer (e.g.,
int
orfloat
),get_pointee()
will returnNone
, causing an exception when attempting to callis_const_qualified()
.Fix:
Add a check to ensure that
get_pointee()
is notNone
before attempting to access its methods. Updated code:Reasoning:
get_pointee()
is only called if it returns a valid object, preventing potential exceptions.inArgs
andoutArgs
based on theconst
qualifier.Importance:
This fix is critical for reliability. Without it, the code will fail when encountering non-pointer arguments, such as primitive types (
int
,float
). This would make the script unusable for analyzing functions with non-pointer parameters. The adjustment ensures robust handling of all argument types, aligning the implementation with its intended functionality.
