# Julia — CWE-407 Deeper Scan: CLEAN (beyond julia-0001/julia-0002)
## Scan Date
2026-03-29
## Areas Scanned
### 1. Compiler/src/ssair/slot2ssa.jl — visited/seen
- Lines 241, 672: `visited = BitSet()` — O(1) membership via bit-set.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 2. Compiler/src/ssair/passes.jl — seen
- Line 140: `seen = BitSet(block)` — O(1) membership.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 3. Compiler/src/optimize.jl — visited
- Line 574: `visited = BitSet((bb,))` — O(1) membership.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 4. base/precompilation.jl — visited
- Line 595: `visited::Set{PkgId}` — O(1) membership in `_visit_indirect_deps!`.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 5. base/loading.jl — module loading graph
- `loaded_modules` is `Dict{PkgId,Module}` — O(1) lookups throughout.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 6. base/show.jl — seen
- Line 777: `seen = IdSet()` — O(1) membership.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 7. base/Enums.jl — seen
- Line 161: `seen = Set{Symbol}()` — O(1) membership.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 8. src/subtype.c / src/typemap.c — C-level type dispatch
- No linear-scan visited/seen arrays. Subtype checking uses a bits-stack, not a list.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
## Conclusion
No CWE-407 defects found beyond julia-0001 (isrelocatable) and julia-0002 (reinfer BFS).
All traversal dedup in the Julia Compiler and base library uses `Set`, `IdSet`, `BitSet`,
`Dict`, or `IdDict` — all O(1) membership.

# Octave — CWE-407 Deeper Scan: CLEAN (beyond octave-0001/octave-0002)
## Scan Date
2026-03-29
## Areas Scanned
### 1. libinterp/corefcn/load-path.cc — m_dir_list
- Line 1661: `std::find(m_dir_list.begin(), m_dir_list.end(), dir_name)` in `package_info::move()`
- `m_dir_list` is `std::list<std::string>` — O(D) linear scan.
- **Severity assessment:** LOW — `move()` is called only during manual path reordering
(e.g. `movepath`/`addpath`), not during function lookup. Not in a nested loop.
- **Result:** CLEAN (below CWE-407 threshold for hot-path requirement).
### 2. libinterp/corefcn/load-path.cc — path string scan
- Lines 163171: `path_list.find(path)` — this is `std::string::find()` on a colon-separated
path string, not a container membership scan.
- **Result:** CLEAN (string substring search, not container dedup).
### 3. libinterp/parse-tree/pt-classdef.cc — classdef MRO
- No visited/seen arrays in classdef hierarchy traversal.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 4. libinterp/corefcn/fcn-info.cc — function lookup
- Uses `std::map`-based lookups throughout — O(log N) or O(1) via unordered_map.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
### 5. liboctave/ — numerical libraries
- No visited/seen arrays found.
- **Result:** CLEAN.
## Conclusion
No additional CWE-407 defects found beyond octave-0001 (vecdim std::find)
and octave-0002 (load_path::add directory presence scan). The only remaining
`std::find` on a list is in `package_info::move()` which is a rarely-called
path-reordering utility and does not qualify as a hot-path nested scan.

* ScalaRefChecksIntersectionTest CWE-407 unit test for scala-0002

* def intersectionIsEmpty(syms1: List[Symbol], syms2: List[Symbol]) =
* !syms1.exists(syms2.contains)
*
* syms1 = member.extendedOverriddenSymbols (O(D) for hierarchy depth D)
* syms2 = other.extendedOverriddenSymbols (O(D) for hierarchy depth D)
* syms2.contains = List[Symbol].contains (O(D) linear scan)
*
* So per invocation: O(D) × O(D) = O(D²).
* With M overriding pairs per class: O(M × D²) total per compilation unit.
*
* Fix: val s2 = syms2.toSet; !syms1.exists(s2.contains)
* Build cost O(D), lookup cost O(1) O(D) per invocation.
*
* slow(): simulates original nested list scan.
* fast(): simulates fix build HashSet once, then O(1) membership.
*
* Uses D=200 (deep trait hierarchy) to show measurable ratio.
* We assert slow() uses >= 10x more element operations than fast().
