Bug 306214 – build-and-analyze: WebKit checker lists diverged between --enable-webkit-checkers and --only-smart-pointers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

The WebKit checker list in build-and-analyze has diverged between two command-line options:

- --enable-webkit-checkers: only enables 6 WebKit-specific checkers
- --only-smart-pointers: enables 15 WebKit-specific checkers (including the same 6)

The lists should be identical since they both claim to enable "WebKit checkers". The --enable-webkit-checkers option is missing 9 checkers that are available in --only-smart-pointers.

This can be verified with --dry-run:

```
cd OpenSource
Tools/Scripts/build-and-analyze --output-dir /tmp/test --enable-webkit-checkers --dry-run
Tools/Scripts/build-and-analyze --output-dir /tmp/test --only-smart-pointers --dry-run
```

The ANALYZER_FLAGS output shows different numbers of webkit.* and alpha.webkit.* checkers.

Fixed by extracting the complete list of 15 WebKit checkers into a global WEBKIT_CHECKERS constant and using it in both code paths.

The fix involved:

1. Creating a global constant with all 15 checkers:

```
WEBKIT_CHECKERS = [
    'alpha.webkit.ForwardDeclChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.MemoryUnsafeCastChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.NoUncheckedPtrMemberChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.NoUnretainedMemberChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.RetainPtrCtorAdoptChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UncheckedCallArgsChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UncheckedLocalVarsChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UncountedCallArgsChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UncountedLocalVarsChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UnretainedCallArgsChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UnretainedLambdaCapturesChecker',
    'alpha.webkit.UnretainedLocalVarsChecker',
    'webkit.NoUncountedMemberChecker',
    'webkit.RefCntblBaseVirtualDtor',
    'webkit.UncountedLambdaCapturesChecker',
]
```

2. Updating both code paths to use the constant:

```
if args.enable_webkit_checkers:
    additional_checkers.extend(WEBKIT_CHECKERS)

if args.only_smart_pointers:
    additional_checkers.extend(WEBKIT_CHECKERS)
```

This ensures both options use the same complete list of WebKit checkers and eliminates future divergence.
