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 me.
if ((f = popen (buf, "rt")) == NULL)
return;
if (ferror (f) || feof (f) || ret == 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 = popen (buf, "rt")) == NULL) // line 1168 looks consistent with below
return;
if (verbose)
pclose (f);
else
{
pclose (f);
if (nchars > 0)
for (char *srv = strtok (buf, "\n"); srv; srv = strtok (NULL, "\n"))
{
if ((f = popen (buf2, "rt")) == NULL)
return;
pclose (f);
}
else
no_services = true;
}

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