Sanjay Patel	4f74216da0	[FunctionAttrs] try to extend nonnull-ness of arguments from a callsite back to its parent function ... As discussed here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-December/108182.html ...we should be able to propagate 'nonnull' info from a callsite back to its parent. The original motivation for this patch is our botched optimization of "dyn_cast" (PR28430), but this won't solve that problem. The transform is currently disabled by default while we wait for clang to work-around potential security problems: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-January/052066.html Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D27855 llvm-svn: 294998	2017-02-13 23:10:51 +00:00
Philip Reames	a88caeab6c	[FunctionAttr] Infer nonnull attributes on returns ... Teach FunctionAttr to infer the nonnull attribute on return values of functions which never return a potentially null value. This is done both via a conservative local analysis for the function itself and a optimistic per-SCC analysis. If no function in the SCC returns anything which could be null (other than values from other functions in the SCC), we can conclude no function returned a null pointer. Even if some function within the SCC returns a null pointer, we may be able to locally conclude that some don't.
