When trying to figure out where a null or undefined value came from,
parentheses and cast expressions are either completely irrelevant, or,
in the case of lvalue-to-rvale cast, straightforwardly lead us in the right
direction when we remove them.
There is a regression that causes a certain diagnostic to appear twice in the
path-notes.cpp test (changed to FIXME). It would be addressed in the next
commit.

The more detailed diagnostic will make identifying which object the
diagnostics refer to easier.

In the analyzer's path-sensitive reports, when a report goes through a branch
and the branch condition cannot be decided to be definitely true or false
(based on the previous execution path), an event piece is added that tells the
user that a new assumption is added upon the symbolic value of the branch
condition. For example, "Assuming 'a' is equal to 3".
The text of the assumption is hand-crafted in various manners depending on
the AST expression. If the AST expression is too complex and the text of
the assumption fails to be constructed, the event piece is omitted.
This causes loss of information and misunderstanding of the report.
Do not omit the event piece even if the expression is too complex;
add a piece with a generic text instead.

This patch adds hashes to the plist and html output to be able to identfy bugs
for suppressing false positives or diff results against a baseline. This hash
aims to be resilient for code evolution and is usable to identify bugs in two
different snapshots of the same software. One missing piece however is a
permanent unique identifier of the checker that produces the warning. Once that
issue is resolved, the hashes generated are going to change. Until that point
this feature is marked experimental, but it is suitable for early adoption.

We process autorelease counts when we exit functions, but if there's an
issue in a synthesized body the report will get dropped. Just skip the
processing for now and let it get handled when the caller gets around to
processing autoreleases.
(This is still suboptimal: objects autoreleased in the caller context
should never be warned about when exiting a callee context, synthesized
or not.)

Much of our diagnostic machinery is set up to assume that the report
end path location is valid. Moreover, the user may be quite confused
when something goes wrong in our BodyFarm-synthesized function bodies,
which may be simplified or modified from the real implementations.
Rather than try to make this all work somehow, just drop the report so
that we don't try to go on with an invalid source location.
Note that we still handle reports whose /paths/ go through invalid
locations, just not those that are reported in one.
We do have to be careful not to lose warnings because of this.
The impetus for this change was an autorelease being processed within
the synthesized body, and there may be other possible issues that are
worth reporting in some way. We'll take these as they come, however.

...but don't yet migrate over the existing plist tests. Some of these
would be trivial to migrate; others could use a bit of inspection first.
In any case, though, the new edge algorithm seems to have proven itself,
and we'd like more coverage (and more usage) of it going forwards.

When generating path notes, implicit function bodies are shown at the call
site, so that, say, copying a POD type in C++ doesn't jump you to a header
file. This is especially important when the synthesized function itself
calls another function (or block), in which case we should try to jump the
user around as little as possible.
By checking whether a called function has a body in the AST, we can tell
if the analyzer synthesized the body, and if we should therefore collapse
the call down to the call site like a true implicitly-defined function.

There were actually two bugs here:
- if we decided to look for an interesting lvalue or call expression, we
wouldn't go find its node if we also knew we were at a (different) call.
- if we looked through one message send with a nil receiver, we thought we
were still looking at an argument to the original call.
Put together, this kept us from being able to track the right values, which
means sub-par diagnostics and worse false-positive suppression.
Noticed by inspection.

The 2 functions were computing the same location using different logic (each one had edge case bugs that the other
one did not). Refactor them to rely on the same logic.
The location of the warning reported in text/command line output format will now match that of the plist file.
There is one change in the plist output as well. When reporting an error on a BinaryOperator, we use the location of the
operator instead of the beginning of the BinaryOperator expression. This matches our output on command line and
looks better in most cases.

Before:
1. Calling 'foo'
2. Doing something interesting
3. Returning from 'foo'
4. Some kind of error here
After:
1. Calling 'foo'
2. Doing something interesting
3. Returning from 'foo'
4. Some kind of error here
The location of the note is already in the caller, not the callee, so this
just brings the "depth" attribute in line with that.
This only affects plist diagnostic consumers (i.e. Xcode). It's necessary
for Xcode to associate the control flow arrows with the right stack frame.
<rdar://problem/13634363>
llvm-svn: 179351
In this code
int getZero() {
return 0;
}
void test() {
int problem = 1 / getZero(); // expected-warning {{Division by zero}}
}
we generate these arrows:
+-----------------+
| v
int problem = 1 / getZero();
^ |
+---+
where the top one represents the control flow up to the first call, and the
bottom one represents the flow to the division.* It turns out, however, that
we were generating the top arrow twice, as if attempting to "set up context"
after we had already returned from the call. This resulted in poor
highlighting in Xcode.
* Arguably the best location for the division is the '/', but that's a
different problem.

Fixes PR15358 and <rdar://problem/13295437>.
Along the way, shorten path diagnostics that say "Variable 'x'" to just
be "'x'". By the context, it is obvious that we have a variable,
and so this just consumes text space.

This is the case where the analyzer tries to print out source locations
for code within a synthesized function body, which of course does not have
a valid source location. The previous fix attempted to do this during
diagnostic path pruning, but some diagnostics have pruning disabled, and
so any diagnostic with a path that goes through a synthesized body will
either hit an assertion or emit invalid output.
<rdar://problem/12657843> (again)
llvm-svn: 169631
We do this by using the "most recent" good location: if a synthesized
function 'A' calls another function 'B', the path notes for the call to 'B'
will be placed at the same location as the path note for calling 'A'.
Similarly, the call to 'A' will have a note saying "Entered call from...",
and now we just don't emit that (since the user doesn't have a body to look
at anyway).
Previously, we were doing this for the "Calling..." notes, but not for the
"Entered call from..." or "Returning to caller". This caused a crash when
the path entered and then exiting a call within a synthesized body.

This is a heuristic intended to greatly reduce the number of false
positives resulting from inlining, particularly inlining of generic,
defensive C++ methods that live in header files. The suppression is
triggered in the cases where we ask to track where a null pointer came
from, and it turns out that the source of the null pointer was an inlined
function call.
This change brings the number of bug reports in LLVM from ~1500 down to
around ~300, a much more manageable number. Yes, some true positives may
be hidden as well, but from what I looked at the vast majority of silenced
reports are false positives, and many of the true issues found by the
analyzer are still reported.
I'm hoping to improve this heuristic further by adding some exceptions
next week (cases in which a bug should still be reported).
