AIUI, that's because cppcheck tries every possible combination of
macros. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to specify that
a certain macro is always defined/never defined (i.e. check just one
combination). For example, in our software we have #defines like
WIN32, LINUX, SOLARIS, etc where only one can be defined at any one
time. cppcheck tries every possible value and (when there are other
macros) usually gives up because of too many different combinations.

If that's dump_sysinfo_services(), then the usage looks indeed suspect to m=
e.


  if ((f =3D popen (buf, "rt")) =3D=3D NULL)
      return;
  if (ferror (f) || feof (f) || ret =3D=3D EOF || maj < 1 || min < 10)
      return; ////////// pclose is not called after successful popen, line =
1159
  fclose (f); ////////// shouldn't this be pclose ? line 1161

  if ((f =3D popen (buf, "rt")) =3D=3D NULL) // line 1168 looks consistent =
with below
      return;

  if (verbose)
      pclose (f);
  else
    {
      pclose (f);

      if (nchars > 0)
        for (char *srv =3D strtok (buf, "\n"); srv; srv =3D strtok (NULL, "=
\n"))
          {
            if ((f =3D popen (buf2, "rt")) =3D=3D NULL)
                return;

            pclose (f);
          }
      else
        no_services =3D true;
    }

Should not be an issue unless a derived-class object is freed through
a base-class pointer.
