Almost all path-sensitive checkers need to tell the user when something specific
to that checker happens along the execution path but does not constitute a bug
on its own. For instance, a call to operator delete in C++ has consequences
that are specific to a use-after-free bug. Deleting an object is not a bug
on its own, but when the Analyzer finds an execution path on which a deleted
object is used, it'll have to explain to the user when exactly during that path
did the deallocation take place.
Historically such custom notes were added by implementing "bug report visitors".
These visitors were post-processing bug reports by visiting every ExplodedNode
along the path and emitting path notes whenever they noticed that a change that
is relevant to a bug report occurs within the program state. For example,
it emits a "memory is deallocated" note when it notices that a pointer changes
its state from "allocated" to "deleted".
The "visitor" approach is powerful and efficient but hard to use because
such preprocessing implies that the developer first models the effects
of the event (say, changes the pointer's state from "allocated" to "deleted"
as part of operator delete()'s transfer function) and then forgets what happened
and later tries to reverse-engineer itself and figure out what did it do
by looking at the report.
The proposed approach tries to avoid discarding the information that was
available when the transfer function was evaluated. Instead, it allows the
developer to capture all the necessary information into a closure that
will be automatically invoked later in order to produce the actual note.
This should reduce boilerplate and avoid very painful logic duplication.
On the technical side, the closure is a lambda that's put into a special kind of
a program point tag, and a special bug report visitor visits all nodes in the
report and invokes all note-producing closures it finds along the path.
For now it is up to the lambda to make sure that the note is actually relevant
to the report. For instance, a memory deallocation note would be irrelevant when
we're reporting a division by zero bug or if we're reporting a use-after-free
of a different, unrelated chunk of memory. The lambda can figure these thing out
by looking at the bug report object that's passed into it.
A single checker is refactored to make use of the new functionality: MIGChecker.
Its program state is trivial, making it an easy testing ground for the first
version of the API.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

SymbolReaper now realizes that our liveness analysis isn't sharp enough
to discriminate between liveness of, say, variables and their fields.
Surprisingly, this didn't quite work before: having a variable live only
through Environment (eg., calling a C++ method on a local variable
as the last action ever performed on that variable) would not keep the
region value symbol of a field of that variable alive.
It would have been broken in the opposite direction as well, but both
Environment and RegionStore use the scanReachableSymbols mechanism for finding
live symbols regions within their values, and due to that they accidentally
end up marking the whole chain of super-regions as live when at least one
sub-region is known to be live.
It is now a direct responsibility of SymbolReaper to maintain this invariant,
and a unit test was added in order to make sure it stays that way.

In earlier patches regarding AnalyzerOptions, a lot of effort went into
gathering all config options, and changing the interface so that potential
misuse can be eliminited.
Up until this point, AnalyzerOptions only evaluated an option when it was
querried. For example, if we had a "-no-false-positives" flag, AnalyzerOptions
would store an Optional field for it that would be None up until somewhere in
the code until the flag's getter function is called.
However, now that we're confident that we've gathered all configs, we can
evaluate off of them before analysis, so we can emit a error on invalid input
even if that prticular flag will not matter in that particular run of the
analyzer. Another very big benefit of this is that debug.ConfigDumper will now
show the value of all configs every single time.
Also, almost all options related class have a similar interface, so uniformity
is also a benefit.
The implementation for errors on invalid input will be commited shorty.

It's an old bug that consists in stale references to symbols remaining in the
GDM if they disappear from other program state sections as a result of any
operation that isn't the actual dead symbol collection. The most common example
here is:
FILE *fp = fopen("myfile.txt", "w");
fp = 0; // leak of file descriptor
In this example the leak were not detected previously because the symbol
disappears from the public part of the program state due to evaluating
the assignment. For that reason the checker never receives a notification
that the symbol is dead, and never reports a leak.
This patch not only causes leak false negatives, but also a number of other
problems, including false positives on some checkers.
What's worse, even though the program state contains a finite number of symbols,
the set of symbols that dies is potentially infinite. This means that is
impossible to compute the set of all dead symbols to pass off to the checkers
for cleaning up their part of the GDM.
No longer compute the dead set at all. Disallow iterating over dead symbols.
Disallow querying if any symbols are dead. Remove the API for marking symbols
as dead, as it is no longer necessary. Update checkers accordingly.

This was reverted in r347656 due to me thinking it caused a miscompile of
Chromium. Turns out it was the Chromium code that was broken.
llvm-svn: 347756
This caused a miscompile in Chrome (see crbug.com/908372) that's
illustrated by this small reduction:
static bool f(int *a, int *b) {
return !__builtin_constant_p(b - a) || (!(b - a));
}
int arr[] = {1,2,3};
bool g() {
return f(arr, arr + 3);
}
$ clang -O2 -S -emit-llvm a.cc -o -
g() should return true, but after r347417 it became false for some reason.
This also reverts the follow-up commits.

Summary:
A __builtin_constant_p may end up with a constant after inlining. Use
the is.constant intrinsic if it's a variable that's in a context where
it may resolve to a constant, e.g., an argument to a function after
inlining.

A ConstantExpr class represents a full expression that's in a context where a
constant expression is required. This class reflects the path the evaluator
took to reach the expression rather than the syntactic context in which the
expression occurs.
In the future, the class will be expanded to cache the result of the evaluated
expression so that it's not needlessly re-evaluated

The GDMIndex functions return a pointer that's used as a key for looking up
data, but addresses of local statics defined in header files aren't the same
across shared library boundaries and the result is that analyzer plugins
can't access this data.
Event types are uniqued by using the addresses of a local static defined
in a header files, but it isn't the same across shared library boundaries
and plugins can't currently handle ImplicitNullDerefEvents.

Once CFG-side support for argument construction contexts landed in r338436,
the analyzer could make use of them to evaluate argument constructors properly.
When evaluated as calls, constructors of arguments now use the variable region
of the parameter as their target. The corresponding stack frame does not yet
exist when the parameter is constructed, and this stack frame is created
eagerly.
Construction of functions whose body is unavailable and of virtual functions
is not yet supported. Part of the reason is the analyzer doesn't consistently
use canonical declarations o identify the function in these cases, and every
re-declaration or potential override comes with its own set of parameter
declarations. Also it is less important because if the function is not
inlined, there's usually no benefit in inlining the argument constructor.

r335795 adds copy elision information to CFG. This commit allows static analyzer
to elide elidable copy constructors by constructing the objects that were
previously subject to elidable copy directly in the target region of the copy.

only happens when the object is being returned from a function which in turn is
returned from another function, etc.
