Bug#557046: cppcheck: false negative resource leak on exit()

[Raphael Geissert]

Package: cppcheck
Version: 1.38-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Attached test case demonstrates a possible fd leak whenever exit(3) is called.
cppcheck correctly detects the leakage when 'return' is used instead.

Would be great if cppcheck could handle exit(3) as well.

Cheers,

    fclose(a);
