Description

A2-10-5 requires that non-member objects are given a unique name (irrespective of scope). However, the query does not currently account for variable templates, which are represented as multiple different variables in the CodeQL C/C++ model.

I think the most straightforward fix here is to exclude the variable template instantiations, and only use the un-instantiated template, e.g.:

  not o1.isFromTemplateInstantiation(_) and
  not o2.isFromTemplateInstantiation(_)

Example

template<class T> constexpr T number_one = T(1);

int test() {
  return number_one<int>;
}

long test2() {
  return number_one<long>;
}
