Given the following test code:

size_t* TestCode(int Len)
{
  size_t *result = (size_t*)malloc(sizeof(*result) + Len);
  return result;
}

Code inspections says that Variable can be declared auto, which is incorrect as sizeof(result) is used as a parameter.

Which IDE and version of VA are you using? Code Inspection is not suggesting anything for me, placing this code into a .cpp file using VS2015 and VA 2258.

It is possible this has already been fixed in a recent build of VA, or I am not testing this in the right way.

No problem, an easy thing to miss. But I am puzzled now, since I am using the same version of VA and the same IDE, but so far I am not seeing Code Inspection flag this.

What file extension is the code file where you are seeing this? Since it uses malloc I would guess pure C, but want to check.

If you have the time, can you please try making a new, default solution, and see if you get this problem when you paste this code into the new solution? I am trying to work out if this is somehow solution or file specific.
