This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Same patch as D62093, but for checker/plugin options, the only
difference being that options for alpha checkers are implicitly marked
as alpha.

These options are now only visible under

During my work on analyzer dependencies, I created a great amount of new
checkers that emitted no diagnostics at all, and were purely modeling some
function or another.
However, the user shouldn't really disable/enable these by hand, hence this
patch, which hides these by default. I intentionally chose not to hide alpha
checkers, because they have a scary enough name, in my opinion, to cause no
surprise when they emit false positives or cause crashes.
The patch introduces the Hidden bit into the TableGen files (you may remember
it before I removed it in D53995), and checkers that are either marked as
hidden, or are in a package that is marked hidden won't be displayed under
-analyzer-checker-help. -analyzer-checker-help-hidden, a new flag meant for
developers only, displays the full list.

TL;DR:
* Add checker and package options to the TableGen files
* Added a new class called CmdLineOption, and both Package and Checker recieved
a list<CmdLineOption> field.
* Added every existing checker and package option to Checkers.td.
* The CheckerRegistry class
* Received some comments to most of it's inline classes
* Received the CmdLineOption and PackageInfo inline classes, a list of
CmdLineOption was added to CheckerInfo and PackageInfo
* Added addCheckerOption and addPackageOption
* Added a new field called Packages, used in addPackageOptions, filled up in
addPackage
Detailed description:
In the last couple months, a lot of effort was put into tightening the
analyzer's command line interface. The main issue is that it's spectacularly
easy to mess up a lenghty enough invocation of the analyzer, and the user was
given no warnings or errors at all in that case.
We can divide the effort of resolving this into several chapters:
* Non-checker analyzer configurations:
Gather every analyzer configuration into a dedicated file. Emit errors for
non-existent configurations or incorrect values. Be able to list these
configurations. Tighten AnalyzerOptions interface to disallow making such
a mistake in the future.
* Fix the "Checker Naming Bug" by reimplementing checker dependencies:
When cplusplus.InnerPointer was enabled, it implicitly registered
unix.Malloc, which implicitly registered some sort of a modeling checker
from the CStringChecker family. This resulted in all of these checker
objects recieving the name "cplusplus.InnerPointer", making AnalyzerOptions
asking for the wrong checker options from the command line:
cplusplus.InnerPointer:Optimisic
istead of
unix.Malloc:Optimistic.
This was resolved by making CheckerRegistry responsible for checker
dependency handling, instead of checkers themselves.
* Checker options: (this patch included!)
Same as the first item, but for checkers.
(+ minor fixes here and there, and everything else that is yet to come)
There were several issues regarding checker options, that non-checker
configurations didn't suffer from: checker plugins are loaded runtime, and they
could add new checkers and new options, meaning that unlike for non-checker
configurations, we can't collect every checker option purely by generating code.
Also, as seen from the "Checker Naming Bug" issue raised above, they are very
rarely used in practice, and all sorts of skeletons fell out of the closet while
working on this project.
They were extremely problematic for users as well, purely because of how long
they were. Consider the following monster of a checker option:
alpha.cplusplus.UninitializedObject:CheckPointeeInitialization=false
While we were able to verify whether the checker itself (the part before the
colon) existed, any errors past that point were unreported, easily resulting
in 7+ hours of analyses going to waste.
This patch, similarly to how dependencies were reimplemented, uses TableGen to
register checker options into Checkers.td, so that Checkers.inc now contains
entries for both checker and package options. Using the preprocessor,
Checkers.inc is converted into code in CheckerRegistry, adding every builtin
(checkers and packages that have an entry in the Checkers.td file) checker and
package option to the registry. The new addPackageOption and addCheckerOption
functions expose the same functionality to statically-linked non-builtin and
plugin checkers and packages as well.
Emitting errors for incorrect user input, being able to list these options, and
some other functionalies will land in later patches.

Unfortunately, up until now, the fact that certain checkers depended on one
another was known, but how these actually unfolded was hidden deep within the
implementation. For example, many checkers (like RetainCount, Malloc or CString)
modelled a certain functionality, and exposed certain reportable bug types to
the user. For example, while MallocChecker models many many different types of
memory handling, the actual "unix.MallocChecker" checker the user was exposed to
was merely and option to this modeling part.
Other than this being an ugly mess, this issue made resolving the checker naming
issue almost impossible. (The checker naming issue being that if a checker
registered more than one checker within its registry function, both checker
object recieved the same name) Also, if the user explicitly disabled a checker
that was a dependency of another that _was_ explicitly enabled, it implicitly,
without "telling" the user, reenabled it.
Clearly, changing this to a well structured, declarative form, where the
handling of dependencies are done on a higher level is very much preferred.
This patch, among the detailed things later, makes checkers declare their
dependencies within the TableGen file Checkers.td, and exposes the same
functionality to plugins and statically linked non-generated checkers through
CheckerRegistry::addDependency. CheckerRegistry now resolves these dependencies,
makes sure that checkers are added to CheckerManager in the correct order,
and makes sure that if a dependency is disabled, so will be every checker that
depends on it.
In detail:
* Add a new field to the Checker class in CheckerBase.td called Dependencies,
which is a list of Checkers.
* Move unix checkers before cplusplus, as there is no forward declaration in
tblgen :/
* Add the following new checkers:
- StackAddrEscapeBase
- StackAddrEscapeBase
- CStringModeling
- DynamicMemoryModeling (base of the MallocChecker family)
- IteratorModeling (base of the IteratorChecker family)
- ValistBase
- SecuritySyntaxChecker (base of bcmp, bcopy, etc...)
- NSOrCFErrorDerefChecker (base of NSErrorChecker and CFErrorChecker)
- IvarInvalidationModeling (base of IvarInvalidation checker family)
- RetainCountBase (base of RetainCount and OSObjectRetainCount)
* Clear up and registry functions in MallocChecker, happily remove old FIXMEs.
* Add a new addDependency function to CheckerRegistry.
* Neatly format RUN lines in files I looked at while debugging.
Big thanks to Artem Degrachev for all the guidance through this project!

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This adds anchors to all of the documented checks so that you can directly link to a check by a stable name. This is useful because the SARIF file format has a field for specifying a URI to documentation for a rule and some viewers, like CodeSonar, make use of this information. These links are then exposed through the SARIF exporter.

This is similar to the LLVM change https://reviews.llvm.org/D46290.
We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.
