This is released as a separate warning flag, because it could potentially
break existing code that uses thread safety analysis.

til::SExpr. This is a large patch, with many small changes to pretty printing
and expression lowering to make the new SExpr representation equivalent in
functionality to the old.

The compilation pipeline doesn't actually need to know about the high-level
concept of diagnostic mappings, and hiding the final computed level presents
several simplifications and other potential benefits.
The only exceptions are opportunistic checks to see whether expensive code
paths can be avoided for diagnostics that are guaranteed to be ignored at a
certain SourceLocation.
This commit formalizes that invariant by introducing and using
DiagnosticsEngine::isIgnored() in place of individual level checks throughout
lex, parse and sema.

which warns on compound conditionals that always evaluate to the same value.
For instance, (x > 5 && x < 3) will always be false since no value for x can
satisfy both conditions.
This patch also changes the CFG to use these tautological values for better
branch analysis. The test for -Wunreachable-code shows how this change catches
additional dead code.
Patch by Anders Rönnholm.

Taking a hint from -Wparentheses, use an extra '()' as a sigil that
a dead condition is intentionally dead. For example:
if ((0)) { dead }
When this sigil is found, do not emit a dead code warning. When the
analysis sees:
if (0)
it suggests inserting '()' as a Fix-It.

The exception is return statements that include control-flow,
which are clearly doing something "interesting".
99% of the cases I examined for -Wunreachable-code that fired
on return statements were not interesting enough to warrant
being in -Wunreachable-code by default. Thus the move to
include them in -Wunreachable-code-return.
This simplifies a bunch of logic, including removing the ad hoc
logic to look for std::string literals.
llvm-svn: 204307
Also relax unreachable 'break' and 'return' to not check for being
preceded by a call to 'noreturn'. That turns out to not be so
interesting in practice.
llvm-svn: 204000
Recent work on -Wunreachable-code has focused on suppressing uninteresting
unreachable code that center around "configuration values", but
there are still some set of cases that are sometimes interesting
or uninteresting depending on the codebase. For example, a dead
"break" statement may not be interesting for a particular codebase,
potentially because it is auto-generated or simply because code
is written defensively.
To address these workflow differences, -Wunreachable-code is now
broken into several diagnostic groups:
-Wunreachable-code: intended to be a reasonable "default" for
most users.
and then other groups that turn on more aggressive checking:
-Wunreachable-code-break: warn about dead break statements
-Wunreachable-code-trivial-return: warn about dead return statements
that return "trivial" values (e.g., return 0). Other return
statements that return non-trivial values are still reported
under -Wunreachable-code (this is an area subject to more refinement).
-Wunreachable-code-aggressive: supergroup that enables all these
groups.
The goal is to eventually make -Wunreachable-code good enough to
either be in -Wall or on-by-default, thus finessing these warnings
into different groups helps achieve maximum signal for more users.
TODO: the tests need to be updated to reflect this extra control
via diagnostic flags.

This warning has a whole bunch of known false positives, much of them due
to code that is "sometimes unreachable". This can caused by code that
is conditionally generated by the preprocessor, branches that are defined
in terms of architecture-specific details (e.g., the size of a type), and
so on. While these are all good things to address one by one, the reality
is that this warning has received little love lately. By restricting
its purvue, we can focus on the top issues effecting main files, which
should be smaller, and then gradually widen the scope.

A return type is the declared or deduced part of the function type specified in
the declaration.
A result type is the (potentially adjusted) type of the value of an expression
that calls the function.
Rule of thumb:
* Declarations have return types and parameters.
* Expressions have result types and arguments.

In an expression like "new (a, b) Foo(x, y)", two things happen:
- Memory is allocated by calling a function named 'operator new'.
- The memory is initialized using the constructor for 'Foo'.
Currently the analyzer only models the second event, though it has special
cases for both the default and placement forms of operator new. This patch
is the first step towards properly modeling both events: it changes the CFG
so that the above expression now generates the following elements.
1. a
2. b
3. (CFGNewAllocator)
4. x
5. y
6. Foo::Foo
The analyzer currently ignores the CFGNewAllocator element, but the next
step is to treat that as a call like any other.
The CFGNewAllocator element is not added to the CFG for analysis-based
warnings, since none of them take advantage of it yet.
llvm-svn: 199123
This new warning detects when a function will recursively call itself on every
code path though that function. This catches simple recursive cases such as:
void foo() {
foo();
}
As well as more complex functions like:
void bar() {
if (test()) {
bar();
return;
} else {
bar();
}
return;
}
This warning uses the CFG. As with other CFG-based warnings, this is off
by default. Due to false positives, this warning is also disabled for
templated functions.

_Bool in C, if the macro is defined. Also teach FixItUtils to look at whether
the macro was defined at the source location for which it is creating a fixit,
rather than looking at whether it's defined *now*. This is especially relevant
for analysis-based warnings which are delayed until end of TU.

variable uninitialized every time we reach its (reachable) declaration, or
every time we call the surrounding function, promote the warning from
-Wmaybe-uninitialized to -Wsometimes-uninitialized.
This is still slightly weaker than desired: we should, in general, warn
if a use is uninitialized the first time it is evaluated.

Functions can now declare what state the consumable type the are returning will
be in. This is then used on the caller side and checked on the callee side.
Constructors now use this attribute instead of the 'consumes' attribute.

Patch by chris.wailes@gmail.com. The following functionality was added:
* The same functionality is now supported for both CXXOperatorCallExprs and CXXMemberCallExprs.
* Factored out some code in StmtVisitor.
* Removed variables from the state map when their destructors are encountered.
* Started adding documentation for the consumed analysis attributes.

Add the annotations and code needed to support a basic 'consumed' analysis.
Summary:
This new analysis is based on academic literature on linear types. It tracks
the state of a value, either as unconsumed, consumed, or unknown. Methods are
then annotated as CallableWhenUnconsumed, and when an annotated method is
called while the value is in the 'consumed' state a warning is issued. A value
may be tested in the conditional statement of an if-statement; when this occurs
we know the state of the value in the different branches, and this information
is added to our analysis. The code is still highly experimental, and the names
of annotations or the algorithm may be subject to change.
