recent discussions with Thomas Clement and Ken Ferry concerning the "fundamental
rule" for Cocoa memory management
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Tasks/MemoryManagementRules.html).
Here is the revised behavior of the checker concerning tracking retain/release
counts for objects returned from message expressions involving instance methods:
1) Track the returned object if the return type of the message expression is
id<..>, id, or a pointer to *any* object that subclasses NSObject. Such objects
are assumed to have a retain count. Previously the checker only tracked objects
when the receiver of the message expression was part of the standard Cocoa API
(i.e., had class names prefixed with 'NS'). This should significantly expand the
amount of checking performed.
2) Consider the object owned if the selector of the message expression contains
"alloc", "new", or "copy". Previously we also considered "create", but this
doesn't follow from the fundamental rule (discussions with the Cocoa folks
confirms this).

- Because of the introduction of AnonTypedRegions when reasoning about casts, we
had a regression in the "symbolication" of variable values passed-by-reference
to a function. This is now fixed in CFRefCount.cpp (-checker-cfref) by
blasting through the layer of AnonTypedRegions when symbolicating the value of
the variable. This logic may get moved elsewhere. Note that this change
affects only -checker-cfref and not -checker-simple; eventually this logic
should get pulled out of CFRefCount.cpp into a more common place. All users
use -checker-cfref by default, and -checker-simple should probably just be
removed.
- Updated test 'Analysis/uninit-vals-ps.c' to only use -checker-cfref and added
a test case for this regression.

- Overhauled the notion of "types" for TypedRegions. We now distinguish between the "lvalue" of a region (via getLValueRegion()) and the "rvalue" of a region (va getRValueRegion()). Since a region represents a chunk of memory it has both, but we were conflating these concepts in some cases, leading to some insidious bugs.
- Removed AnonPointeeType, partially because it is unused and because it doesn't have a clear notion of lvalue vs rvalue type. We can add it back once there is a need for it and we can resolve its role with these concepts.
StoreManager:
- Overhauled StoreManager::CastRegion. It expects an *lvalue* type for a region. This is actually what motivated the overhaul to the MemRegion type mechanism. It also no longer returns an SVal; we can just return a MemRegion*.
- BasicStoreManager::CastRegion now overlays an "AnonTypedRegion" for pointer-pointer casts. This matches with the MemRegion changes.
- Similar changes to RegionStore, except I've added a bunch of FIXMEs where it wasn't 100% clear where we should use TypedRegion::getRValueRegion() or TypedRegion::getLValueRegion().
AuditCFNumberCreate check:
- Now blasts through AnonTypedRegions that may layer the original memory region, thus checking if the actually memory block is of the appropriate type. This change was needed to work with the changes to StoreManager::CastRegion.
GRExprEngine::VisitCast:
- Conform to the new interface of StoreManager::CastRegion.
Tests:
- None of the analysis tests fail now for using the "basic store".
- Disabled the tests 'array-struct.c' and 'rdar-6442306-1.m' pending further testing and bug fixing.

a new NamedDecl::getAsString() method.
Change uses of Selector::getName() to just pass in a Selector
where possible (e.g. to diagnostics) instead of going through
an std::string.
This also adds new formatters for objcinstance and objcclass
as described in the dox.

etc more generic. For some targets, long may not be equal to pointer size. For
example: PIC16 has int as i16, ptr as i16 but long as i32.
Also fixed a few build warnings in assert() functions in CFRefCount.cpp,
CGDecl.cpp, SemaDeclCXX.cpp and ParseDeclCXX.cpp.
llvm-svn: 58501
- Added new region "SymbolicRegion", which maps symbol values to the region domain.
- Enhanced BasicStore::getFieldLValue() to return a FieldRegion (using SymbolicRegion)
- Added some utility methods to GRState for fetch svals from the store.
- Fixed regression in CheckNSError (we weren't getting the value bound to the parameter)

This patch overhauls the "memory region" abstraction that was prototyped (but never really used) as part of the Store.h. This patch adds MemRegion.h and MemRegion.cpp, which defines the class MemRegion and its subclasses. This classes serve to define an abstract representation of memory, with regions being layered on other regions to to capture the relationships between fields and variables, variables and the address space they are allocated in, and so on.
The main motivation of this patch is that key parts of the analyzer assumed that all value bindings were to VarDecls. In the future this won't be the case, and this patch removes lval::DeclVal and replaces it with lval::MemRegionVal. Now all pieces of the analyzer must reason about abstract memory blocks instead of just variables.
There should be no functionality change from this patch, but it opens the door for significant improvements to the analyzer such as field-sensitivity and object-sensitivity, both which were on hold until the memory abstraction got generalized.
The memory region abstraction also allows type-information to literally be affixed to a memory region. This will allow the some now redundant logic to be removed from the retain/release checker.

Use this updated interface when invalidating arguments passed by reference; the type of symbol is of the object passed by reference, not the reference itself.

Changed casing of many bug names. The convention will be to have bug names (mostly) lower cased, and categories use some capitalization.
llvm-svn: 56385
- Change definition of store::Region and store::Binding (once again) to make
them real classes that just wrap pointers. This makes them more strictly
typed, and allows specific implementations of Regions/Bindings to just
subclass them.
- minor renamings to RegionExtent and its subclasses
- added a bunch of doxygen comments
StoreManager: (static analyzer)
- added 'iterBindings', an iteration method for iterating over the bindings of a
store. It that takes a callback object (acting like a poor man's closure).
- added 'getRVal' version for store::Binding. Will potentially phase the other
versions of GetRVal in StoreManager out.
- reimplemented 'getBindings' to be non-virtual and to use 'iterBindings'
BasicStoreManager: (static analyzer)
- implemented 'iterBindings' for BasicStoreManager
llvm-svn: 55688
Migrated CFRefCount.cpp to use getBindings and BindingsAsString instead of
making assumptions about the Store (removed dependence on GRState::vb_iterator).
llvm-svn: 55522
- Remove ConstNotEq from GRState/GRStateManager (!= tracking uses GDM instead).
- GRStateManager now can book-keep "contexts" (e.g., factory objects) for uses
with data elements stored into the GDM.
- Refactor pretty-printing of states to use GRState::Printer objects
exclusively. This removed a huge amount of pretty-printing logic from
GRExprEngine.
CFRefCount
- Simplified some API calls based on refinements to the GDM api.

of using CheckerState).
Removed CheckerState from GRState.
Added class GRStateRef which wraps GRState* and GRStateManager*. This is handy
for generating new states with a single handle.
Added member template set/get functions to GRStateRef/GRState/GRStateManager for
accessing the Generic Data Map.
llvm-svn: 54788
- Drop {Decl.h,DeclObjC.h,IdentifierTable.h} from Expr.h
- Moved Sema::getCurMethodDecl() out of line (dependent on
ObjCMethodDecl via dyn_cast).
