Hello,
First let me introduce myself: I am a researcher at CEA working on
Frama-C, a source-code analysis platform for C code. I am currently
working with SRI and UCSC on a DARPA project named CHEKOFV, whose goal
is to crowd-source part of verification work by having players finding
verification invariants without knowing, by playing on a game (you can
find the games on http://verigames.com/). To that purpose, we have
chosen Paparazzi to be our next target of verification.
So (if you allow me) I will regularly post on this mailing list to
report to you about potential bugs I found in the source code during the
verification process. Forgive me if I don't use the very latest version
of the code; as I sometimes have to make changes to the source code to
simplify the verification, it is simpler for me if I stick to one
version. Also, I must warn you that I know nothing about UAVs or
Paparazzi configurations.
The first bug I have found happens in the "Booz2" configuration. In
src/sw/airborne/led.h, there is a led_init() function, which calls a
a bunch of LED_INIT macros, one of set translating to:
((gpioRegs_t *)0xE0028000)->dir1 |= (unsigned long)(1 << 31);
This code is incorrect, as 1 is signed, 1 << 31 results in a signed
overflow which is an undefined behaviour. The correct replacement is
((unsigned long) 1 << 31).
I have also found something unusual (but maybe this is done on purpose):
on the Microjet configuration, there is a periodic_telemetry_send_Fbw
function which is static inline; and contains a lot of static
variables. Which means that the variable will be duplicated in different
compilation units, which appears to happen in practice. But may this is
something that you want?
Best regards,
Matthieu Lemerre
