In the added testfile, the from argument was recognized as
&Element{SymRegion{reg_$0<long * global_a>},-1 S64b,long}
instead of
reg_$0<long * global_a>.
The very essence of MallocChecker lies in 2 overload sets: the FreeMemAux
functions and the MallocMemAux functions. The former houses most of the error
checking as well (aside from leaks), such as incorrect deallocation. There, we
check whether the argument's MemSpaceRegion is the heap or unknown, and if it
isn't, we know we encountered a bug (aside from a corner case patched by
@balazske in D76830), as specified by MEM34-C.
In ReallocMemAux, which really is the combination of FreeMemAux and
MallocMemAux, we incorrectly early returned if the memory argument of realloc is
non-symbolic. The problem is, one of the cases where this happens when we know
precisely what the region is, like an array, as demonstrated in the test file.
So, lets get rid of this false negative :^)
Side note, I dislike the warning message and the associated checker name, but
I'll address it in a later patch.

This reverts commit r341722.
The "postponed" mechanism turns out to be necessary in order to handle
situations when a symbolic region is only kept alive by implicit bindings
in the Store. Otherwise the region is never scanned by the Store's worklist
and the binding gets dropped despite being live, as demonstrated
by the newly added tests.

When a function takes the address of a field the analyzer will no longer
assume that the function will change other fields of the enclosing structs.

This patch merely reorganizes some things, and features no functional change.
In detail:
* Provided documentation, or moved existing documentation in more obvious
places.
* Added dividers. (the //===----------===// thing).
* Moved getAllocationFamily, printAllocDeallocName, printExpectedAllocName and
printExpectedDeallocName in the global namespace on top of the file where
AllocationFamily is declared, as they are very strongly related.
* Moved isReleased and MallocUpdateRefState near RefState's definition for the
same reason.
* Realloc modeling was very poor in terms of variable and structure naming, as
well as documentation, so I renamed some of them and added much needed docs.
* Moved function IdentifierInfos to a separate struct, and moved isMemFunction,
isCMemFunction adn isStandardNewDelete inside it. This makes the patch affect
quite a lot of lines, should I extract it to a separate one?
* Moved MallocBugVisitor out of MallocChecker.
* Preferred switches to long else-if branches in some places.
* Neatly organized some RUN: lines.

It was not possible to disable alpha.unix.cstring.OutOfBounds checker's reports
since unix.Malloc checker always implicitly enabled the filter. Moreover if the
checker was disabled from command line (-analyzer-disable-checker ..) the out
of bounds warnings were nevertheless emitted under different checker names such
as unix.cstring.NullArg, or unix.Malloc.
This patch fixes the case sot that Malloc checker only enables implicitly the
underlying modeling of strcpy, memcpy etc. but not the warning messages that
would have been emmitted by alpha.unix.cstring.OutOfBounds

Fix an assertion failure caused by a missing CheckName. The malloc checker
enables "basic" support in the CStringChecker, which causes some CString
bounds checks to be enabled. In this case, make sure that we have a
valid CheckName for the BugType.

The patch also simplifies an assume of a constraint of the form: "(exp comparison_op expr) != 0" to true into an assume of "exp comparison_op expr" to true. (And similarly, an assume of the form "(exp comparison_op expr) == 0" to true as an assume of exp comparison_op expr to false.) which improves precision overall.

The analyzer assumes that system functions will not free memory or modify the
arguments in other ways, so we assume that arguments do not escape when
those are called. However, this may lead to false positive leak errors. For
example, in code like this where the pointers added to the rb_tree are freed
later on:
struct alarm_event *e = calloc(1, sizeof(*e));
<snip>
rb_tree_insert_node(&alarm_tree, e);
Add a heuristic to assume that calls to system functions taking void*
arguments allow for pointer escape.
llvm-svn: 251449
Currently realloc(ptr, 0) is treated as free() which seems to be not correct. C
standard (N1570) establishes equivalent behavior for malloc(0) and realloc(ptr,
0): "7.22.3 Memory management functions calloc, malloc, realloc: If the size of
the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-defined: either a
null pointer is returned, or the behavior is as if the size were some nonzero
value, except that the returned pointer shall not be used to access an object."
The patch equalizes the processing of malloc(0) and realloc(ptr,0). The patch
also enables unix.Malloc checker to detect references to zero-allocated memory
returned by realloc(ptr,0) ("Use of zero-allocated memory" warning).

llvm-svn: 248336
The analyzer trims unnecessary nodes from the exploded graph before reporting
path diagnostics. However, in some cases it can trim all nodes (including the
error node), leading to an assertion failure (see
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24184).
This commit addresses the issue by adding two new APIs to CheckerContext to
explicitly create error nodes. Unless the client provides a custom tag, these
APIs tag the node with the checker's tag -- preventing it from being trimmed.
The generateErrorNode() method creates a sink error node, while
generateNonFatalErrorNode() creates an error node for a path that should
continue being explored.
The intent is that one of these two methods should be used whenever a checker
creates an error node.
This commit updates the checkers to use these APIs. These APIs
(unlike addTransition() and generateSink()) do not take an explicit Pred node.
This is because there are not any error nodes in the checkers that were created
with an explicit different than the default (the CheckerContext's Pred node).
It also changes generateSink() to require state and pred nodes (previously
these were optional) to reduce confusion.
Additionally, there were several cases where checkers did check whether a
generated node could be null; we now explicitly check for null in these places.
This commit also includes a test case written by Ying Yi as part of
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12163 (that patch originally addressed this issue but
was reverted because it introduced false positive regressions).

This is making our internal build bot fail because it results in extra warnings being
emitted past what should be sink nodes. (There is actually an example of this in the
updated malloc.c test in the reverted commit.)
I'm working on a patch to fix the original issue by adding a new checker API to explicitly
create error nodes. This API will ensure that error nodes are always tagged in order to
prevent them from being reclaimed.
This reverts commit r246188.
llvm-svn: 247103
The assertion is caused by reusing a “filler” ExplodedNode as an error node.
The “filler” nodes are only used for intermediate processing and are not
essential for analyzer history, so they can be reclaimed when the
ExplodedGraph is trimmed by the “collectNode” function. When a checker finds a
bug, they generate a new transition in the ExplodedGraph. The analyzer will
try to reuse the existing predecessor node. If it cannot, it creates a new
ExplodedNode, which always has a tag to uniquely identify the creation site.
The assertion is caused when the analyzer reuses a “filler” node.
In the test case, some “filler” nodes were reused and then reclaimed later
when the ExplodedGraph was trimmed. This caused an assertion because the node
was needed to generate the report. The “filler” nodes should not be reused as
error nodes. The patch adds a constraint to prevent this happening, which
solves the problem and makes the test cases pass.

This is another regression fixed by reverting r189090.
In this case, the problem is not live variables but the approach that was taken in r189090. This regression was caused by explicitly binding "true" to the condition when we take the true branch. Normally that's okay, but in this case we're planning to reuse that condition as the value of the expression.

New rules of invalidation/escape of the source buffer of memcpy: the source buffer contents is invalidated and escape while the source buffer region itself is neither invalidated, nor escape.
In the current modeling of memcpy the information about allocation state of regions, accessible through the source buffer, is not copied to the destination buffer and we can not track the allocation state of those regions anymore. So we invalidate/escape the source buffer indirect regions in anticipation of their being invalidated for real later. This eliminates false-positive leaks reported by the unix.Malloc and alpha.cplusplus.NewDeleteLeaks checkers for the cases like
char *f() {
void *x = malloc(47);
char *a;
memcpy(&a, &x, sizeof a);
return a;
}
llvm-svn: 194953
This keeps the analyzer from making silly assumptions, like thinking
strlen(foo)+1 could wrap around to 0. This fixes PR16558.
Patch by Karthik Bhat!
llvm-svn: 188680
When a region is realloc()ed, MallocChecker records whether it was known
to be allocated or not. If it is, and the reallocation fails, the original
region has to be freed. Previously, when an allocated region escaped,
MallocChecker completely stopped tracking it, so a failed reallocation
still (correctly) wouldn't require freeing the original region. Recently,
however, MallocChecker started tracking escaped symbols, so that if it were
freed we could check that the deallocator matched the allocator. This
broke the reallocation model for whether or not a symbol was allocated.
Now, MallocChecker will actually check if a symbol is owned, and only
require freeing after a failed reallocation if it was owned before.

Consider this example:
char *p = malloc(sizeof(char));
systemFunction(&p);
free(p);
In this case, when we call systemFunction, we know (because it's a system
function) that it won't free 'p'. However, we /don't/ know whether or not
it will /change/ 'p', so the analyzer is forced to invalidate 'p', wiping
out any bindings it contains. But now the malloc'd region looks like a
leak, since there are no more bindings pointing to it, and we'll get a
spurious leak warning.
The fix for this is to notice when something is becoming inaccessible due
to invalidation (i.e. an imperfect model, as opposed to being explicitly
overwritten) and stop tracking it at that point. Currently, the best way
to determine this for a call is the "indirect escape" pointer-escape kind.
In practice, all the patch does is take the "system functions don't free
memory" special case and limit it to direct parameters, i.e. just the
arguments to a call and not other regions accessible to them. This is a
conservative change that should only cause us to escape regions more
eagerly, which means fewer leak warnings.
This isn't perfect for several reasons, the main one being that this
example is treated the same as the one above:
char **p = malloc(sizeof(char *));
systemFunction(p + 1);
// leak
Currently, "addresses accessible by offsets of the starting region" and
"addresses accessible through bindings of the starting region" are both
considered "indirect" regions, hence this uniform treatment.
Another issue is our longstanding problem of not distinguishing const and
non-const bindings; if in the first example systemFunction's parameter were
a char * const *, we should know that the function will not overwrite 'p',
and thus we can safely report the leak.

Test that the path notes do not change. I don’t think we should print a note on escape.
Also, I’ve removed a check that assumed that the family stored in the RefStete could be

Due to improper modelling of copy constructors (specifically, their
const reference arguments), we were producing spurious leak warnings
for allocated memory stored in structs. In order to silence this, we
decided to consider storing into a struct to be the same as escaping.
However, the previous commit has fixed this issue and we can now properly
distinguish leaked memory that happens to be in a struct from a buffer
that escapes within a struct wrapper.
Originally applied in r161511, reverted in r174468.

Fixes a FIXME, improves dead symbol collection, suppresses a false positive,
which resulted from reusing the same symbol twice for simulation of 2 calls to the same function.
Fixing this lead to 2 possible false negatives in CString checker. Since the checker is still alpha and
the solution will not require revert of this commit, move the tests to a FIXME section.

The malloc checker will now catch the case when a previously malloc'ed
region is freed, but the pointer passed to free does not point to the
start of the allocated memory. For example:
int *p1 = malloc(sizeof(int));
p1++;
free(p1); // warn

in the list of potential checkers.
A patch by Branden Archer!
llvm-svn: 174678
The checkPointerEscape callback previously did not specify how a
pointer escaped. This change includes an enum which describes the
different ways a pointer may escape. This enum is passed to the
checkPointerEscape callback when a pointer escapes. If the escape
is due to a function call, the call is passed. This changes
previous behavior where the call is passed as NULL if the escape
was due to indirectly invalidating the region the pointer referenced.
A patch by Branden Archer!
llvm-svn: 174677
This is a "quick fix".
The underlining issue is that when a const pointer to a struct is passed
into a function, we do not invalidate the pointer fields. This results
in false positives that are common in C++ (since copy constructors are
prevalent). (Silences two llvm false positives.)
