In C++, overriding virtual methods are allowed to specify a covariant
return type -- that is, if the return type of the base method is an
object pointer type (or reference type), the overriding method's return
type can be a pointer to a subclass of the original type. The analyzer
was failing to take this into account when devirtualizing a method call,
and anything that relied on the return value having the proper type later
would crash.
In Objective-C, overriding methods are allowed to specify ANY return type,
meaning we can NEVER be sure that devirtualizing will give us a "safe"
return value. Of course, a program that does this will most likely crash
at runtime, but the analyzer at least shouldn't crash.
The solution is to check and see if the function/method being inlined is
the function that static binding would have picked. If not, check that
the return value has the same type. If the types don't match, see if we
can fix it with a derived-to-base cast (the C++ case). If we can't,
return UnknownVal to avoid crashing later.

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).
llvm-svn: 164449
Using the static type may be inconsistent with later calls. We should just
report that there is no inlining definition available if the static type is
better than the dynamic type. See next commit.
This reverts r163644 / 19d5886d1704e24282c86217b09d5c6d35ba604d.

'Inputs' subdirectory.
The general desire has been to have essentially all of the non-test
input files live in such directories, with some exceptions for obvious
and common patterns like 'foo.c' using 'foo.h'.
This came up because our distributed test runner couldn't find some of
the headers, for example with stl.cpp.
No functionality changed, just shuffling around here.
llvm-svn: 163674
reinterpret_cast does not provide any of the usual type information that
static_cast or dynamic_cast provide -- only the new type. This can get us
in a situation where the dynamic type info for an object is actually a
superclass of the static type, which does not match what CodeGen does at all.
In these cases, just fall back to the static type as the best possible type
for devirtualization.
Should fix the crashes on our internal buildbot.
llvm-svn: 163644
The option allows to always inline very small functions, whose size (in
number of basic blocks) is set using -analyzer-config
ipa-always-inline-size option.
llvm-svn: 163558
This is a (heavy-handed) solution to PR13724 -- until we know we can do
a good job inlining the STL, it's best to be consistent and not generate
more false positives than we did before. We can selectively whitelist
certain parts of the 'std' namespace that are known to be safe.
This is controlled by analyzer config option 'c++-stdlib-inlining', which
can be set to "true" or "false".
This commit also adds control for whether or not to inline any templated
functions (member or non-member), under the config option
'c++-template-inlining'. This option is currently on by default.
llvm-svn: 163548
inlined function.
This resolves retain count checker false positives that are caused by
inlining ObjC and other methods. Essentially, if we are passing an
object to a method with "delegate" in the selector or a function pointer
as another argument, we should stop tracking the other parameters/return
value as far as the retain count checker is concerned.
llvm-svn: 162876
Previously, if we were tracking stores to a variable 'x', and came across this:
x = foo();
...we would simply emit a note here and stop. Now, we'll step into 'foo' and
continue tracking the returned value from there.
<rdar://problem/12114689>
llvm-svn: 162718
More generally, any time we try to track where a null value came from, we
should show if it came from a function. This usually isn't necessary if
the value is symbolic, but if the value is just a constant we previously
just ignored its origin entirely. Now, we'll step into the function and
recursively add a visitor to the returned expression.
<rdar://problem/12114609>
llvm-svn: 162563
With inlining, retain count checker starts tracking 'self' through the
init methods. The analyser results were too noisy if the developer
did not follow 'self = [super init]' pattern (which is common
especially in older code bases) - we reported self init anti-pattern AND
possible use-after-free. This patch teaches the retain count
checker to assume that [super init] does not fail when it's not consumed
by another expression. This silences the retain count warning that warns
about possibility of use-after-free when init fails, while preserving
all the other checking on 'self'.
llvm-svn: 162508
The actual change here is a little more complicated than the summary above.
What we want to do is have our generic inlining tests run under whatever
mode is the default. However, there are some tests that depend on the
presence of C++ inlining, which still has some rough edges. These tests have
been explicitly marked as -analyzer-ipa=inlining in preparation for a new
mode that limits inlining to C functions and blocks. This will be the
default until the false positives for C++ have been brought down to
manageable levels.
llvm-svn: 162317
Previously we were checking -analyzer-ipa=dynamic-bifurcate only, and
unconditionally inlining everything else that had an available definition,
even under -analyzer-ipa=inlining (but not under -analyzer-ipa=none).
llvm-svn: 161916
Add a TODO test case for r161822 - calling self from a class method.
Remove a TODO comment for r161683 - value2 is not a property - we just
have method names that look like they are getters/setters for a
property.
llvm-svn: 161884
TODO:
- Handle @syncronized properties.
- Always inline properties declared publicly (do not split the path).
This is tricky since there is no mapping from a Decl to the property in
the AST as far as I can tell.
llvm-svn: 161683
when we don't need to split.
In some cases we know that a method cannot have a different
implementation in a subclass:
- the class is declared in the main file (private)
- all the method declarations (including the ones coming from super
classes) are in the main file.
This can be improved further, but might be enough for the heuristic.
(When we are too aggressive splitting the state, efficiency suffers.
When we fail to split the state coverage might suffer.)
llvm-svn: 161681
This is an initial (unoptimized) version. We split the path when
inlining ObjC instance methods. On one branch we always assume that the
type information for the given memory region is precise. On the other we
assume that we don't have the exact type info. It is important to check
since the class could be subclassed and the method can be overridden. If
we always inline we can loose coverage.
Had to refactor some of the call eval functions.
llvm-svn: 161552
Dynamic type inference does the right thing in this case. However, as
Jordan suggested, it would be nice to add a warning here as well.
llvm-svn: 161365
I currently have a bit of redundancy with the cast kind switch statement
inside the ImplicitCast callback, but I might be adding more casts going
forward.
llvm-svn: 161358
Instead of sprinkling dynamic type info propagation throughout
ExprEngine, the added checker would add the more precise type
information on known APIs (Ex: ObjC alloc, new) and propagate
the type info in other cases (ex: ObjC init method, casts (the second is
not implemented yet)).
Add handling of ObjC alloc, new and init to the checker.
llvm-svn: 161357
No functionality change, but from now on, any new path notes should be
tested both with plain-text output (for ease of human auditing) and with
plist output (to ensure control flow and events are being correctly
represented in Xcode).
llvm-svn: 161351
Because of this, we would previously emit NO path notes when a parameter
is constrained to null (because there are no stores). Now we show where we
made the assumption, which is much more useful.
llvm-svn: 161280
In the following code, find the type of the symbolic receiver by
following it and updating the dynamic type info in the state when we
cast the symbol from id to MyClass *.
MyClass *a = [[self alloc] init];
return 5/[a testSelf];
llvm-svn: 161264
While usually we'd use a symbolic region rather than a straight-up Unknown,
we can still generate unknowns via array subscripts with symbolic indexes.
(And if this ever changes in the future, we still shouldn't crash.)
llvm-svn: 161059
- Retrieves the type of the object/receiver from the state.
- Binds self during stack setup.
- Only explores the path on which the method is inlined (no
bifurcation to explore the path on which the method is not inlined).
llvm-svn: 160991
- Some cleanup(the TODOs) will be done after ObjC method inlining is
complete.
- Simplified CallEvent::getDefinition not to require ISDynamicDispatch
parameter.
- Also addressed Jordan's comments from r160530.
