D105819 Added NoOwnershipChangeVisitor, but it is only registered when an
off-by-default, hidden checker option was enabled. The reason behind this was
that it grossly overestimated the set of functions that really needed a note:
std::string getTrainName(const Train *T) {
return T->name;
} // note: Retuning without changing the ownership of or deallocating memory
// Umm... I mean duh? Nor would I expect this function to do anything like that...
void foo() {
Train *T = new Train("Land Plane");
print(getTrainName(T)); // note: calling getTrainName / returning from getTrainName
} // warn: Memory leak
This patch adds a heuristic that guesses that any function that has an explicit
operator delete call could have be responsible for deallocating the memory that
ended up leaking. This is waaaay too conservative (see the TODOs in the new
function), but it safer to err on the side of too little than too much, and
would allow us to enable the option by default *now*, and add refinements
one-by-one.

This is a rather common feedback we get from out leak checkers: bug reports are
really short, and are contain barely any usable information on what the analyzer
did to conclude that a leak actually happened.
This happens because of our bug report minimizing effort. We construct bug
reports by inspecting the ExplodedNodes that lead to the error from the bottom
up (from the error node all the way to the root of the exploded graph), and mark
entities that were the cause of a bug, or have interacted with it as
interesting. In order to make the bug report a bit less verbose, whenever we
find an entire function call (from CallEnter to CallExitEnd) that didn't talk
about any interesting entity, we prune it (click here for more info on bug
report generation). Even if the event to highlight is exactly this lack of
interaction with interesting entities.
D105553 generalized the visitor that creates notes for these cases. This patch
adds a new kind of NoStateChangeVisitor that leaves notes in functions that
took a piece of dynamically allocated memory that later leaked as parameter,
and didn't change its ownership status.
