# Improvements to C/C++ analysis
The following changes in version 1.26 affect C/C++ analysis in all applications.
## General improvements
## New queries
| **Query** | **Tags** | **Purpose** |
|-----------------------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
## Changes to existing queries
| **Query** | **Expected impact** | **Change** |
|----------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Inconsistent direction of for loop (`cpp/inconsistent-loop-direction`) | Fewer false positive results | The query now accounts for intentional wrapping of an unsigned loop counter. |
| Comparison result is always the same (`cpp/constant-comparison`) | More correct results | Bounds on expressions involving multiplication can now be determined in more cases. |
## Changes to libraries
* The models library now models more taint flows through `std::string`.
* The `SimpleRangeAnalysis` library now supports multiplications of the form
`e1 * e2` when `e1` and `e2` are unsigned.
