             Summary: Coverity false positive use-after-free error
                 Key: DISPATCH-1544
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1544
             Project: Qpid Dispatch
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.11.0
            Reporter: Ken Giusti
            Assignee: Ken Giusti
             Fix For: 1.11.0


Coverity static analysis has started reporting use-after-free errors in the 
delivery state update logic.  I've reviewed these errors and I believe these 
are false positives.   I suspect that Coverity doesn't have enough context to 
understand the delivery refcount management done by this code to prevent 
use-after-free of the reported deliveries.

I've created a patch that adds assert checking of the refcounts to enforce the 
ownership state expected by the code.  This appears to "fix" the coverity issue 
in so much as when a CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build is submitted for analysis 
(the asserts are present in Debug) the errors are resolved.   Non-Debug builds 
still report the error however so I'm also going update the patch to include 
annotations to ignore the errors.

I'm opening this Jira to solicit additional eyes on the problem in case I'm 
missing something and these errors are legit.
