| **Query** | **Tags** | **Purpose** |
|-----------------------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Cast between `HRESULT` and a Boolean type (`cpp/hresult-boolean-conversion`) | external/cwe/cwe-253 | Finds logic errors caused by mistakenly treating the Windows `HRESULT` type as a Boolean instead of testing it with the appropriate macros. Enabled by default. |
| Setting a DACL to `NULL` in a `SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` (`cpp/unsafe-dacl-security-descriptor`) | external/cwe/cwe-732 | This query finds code that creates world-writable objects on Windows by setting their DACL to `NULL`. Enabled by default. |
| Cast between `HRESULT` and a Boolean type (`cpp/hresult-boolean-conversion`) | security, external/cwe/cwe-253 | Finds logic errors caused by mistakenly treating the Windows `HRESULT` type as a Boolean instead of testing it with the appropriate macros. Enabled by default. |
| Setting a DACL to `NULL` in a `SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` (`cpp/unsafe-dacl-security-descriptor`) | security, external/cwe/cwe-732 | This query finds code that creates world-writable objects on Windows by setting their DACL to `NULL`. Enabled by default. |
| Cast from `char*` to `wchar_t*` | security, external/cwe/cwe-704 | Detects potentially dangerous casts from `char*` to `wchar_t*`. Enabled by default on LGTM. |
| Dead code due to `goto` or `break` statement (`cpp/dead-code-goto`) | maintainability, external/cwe/cwe-561 | Detects dead code following a `goto` or `break` statement. Enabled by default on LGTM. |
| Inconsistent direction of for loop | correctness, external/cwe/cwe-835 | This query detects `for` loops where the increment and guard condition don't appear to correspond. Enabled by default on LGTM. |
