Previously, MallocChecker's pointer escape check and its post-call state
update for Objective-C method calls had a fair amount duplicated logic
and not-entirely-consistent checks. This commit restructures all this to
be more consistent and possibly allow us to be more aggressive in warning
about double-frees.
New policy (applies to system header methods only):
(1) If this is a method we know about, model it as taking/holding ownership
of the passed-in buffer.
(1a) ...unless there's a "freeWhenDone:" parameter with a zero (NO) value.
(2) If there's a "freeWhenDone:" parameter (but it's not a method we know
about), treat the buffer as escaping if the value is non-zero (YES) and
non-escaping if it's zero (NO).
(3) If the first selector piece ends with "NoCopy" (but it's not a method we
know about and there's no "freeWhenDone:" parameter), treat the buffer
as escaping.
The reason that (2) and (3) don't explicitly model the ownership transfer is
because we can't be sure that they will actually free the memory using free(),
and we wouldn't want to emit a spurious "mismatched allocator" warning
(coming in Anton's upcoming patch). In the future, we may have an idea of a
"generic deallocation", i.e. we assume that the deallocator is correct but
still continue tracking the region so that we can warn about double-frees.
