Like with struct fields, we want to catch cases like this early,
so that we can produce better diagnostics and path notes:
PointObj *p = nil;
int *px = &p->_x; // should warn here
*px = 1;

This heuristic addresses the case when a pointer (or ref) is passed
to a function, which initializes the variable (or sets it to something
other than '0'). On the branch where the inlined function does not
set the value, we report use of undefined value (or NULL pointer
dereference). The access happens in the caller and the path
through the callee would get pruned away with regular path pruning. To
solve this issue, we previously disabled diagnostic pruning completely
on undefined and null pointer dereference checks, which entailed very
verbose diagnostics in most cases. Furthermore, not all of the
undef value checks had the diagnostic pruning disabled.
This patch implements the following heuristic: if we pass a pointer (or
ref) to the region (on which the error is reported) into a function and
it's value is either undef or 'NULL' (and is a pointer), do not prune
the function.

This helper function (in the clang::ento::bugreporter namespace) may add more
than one visitor, but conceptually it's tracking a single use of a null or
undefined value and should do so as best it can.
Also, the BugReport parameter has been made a reference to underscore that
it is non-optional.

While there is no such thing as a "null reference" in the C++ standard,
many implementations of references (including Clang's) do not actually
check that the location bound to them is non-null. Thus unlike a regular
null dereference, this will not cause a problem at runtime until the
reference is actually used. In order to catch these cases, we need to not
prune out paths on which the input pointer is null.
llvm-svn: 161288
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
There's still more work to be done here; this doesn't catch reference
parameters or return values. But it's a step in the right direction.

improved the pruning heuristics. The current heuristics are pretty good, but they make diagnostics
for uninitialized variables warnings particularly useless in some cases.
llvm-svn: 157734
Essentially, a bug centers around a story for various symbols and regions. We should only include
the path diagnostic events that relate to those symbols and regions.
The pruning is done by associating a set of interesting symbols and regions with a BugReporter, which
can be modified at BugReport creation or by BugReporterVisitors.
This patch reduces the diagnostics emitted in several of our test cases. I've vetted these as
having desired behavior. The only regression is a missing null check diagnostic for the return
value of realloc() in test/Analysis/malloc-plist.c. This will require some investigation to fix,
and I have added a FIXME to the test case.

At this point this is largely cosmetic, but it opens the door to replace
ProgramStateRef with a smart pointer that more eagerly acts in the role
of reclaiming unused ProgramState objects.
llvm-svn: 149081
Remove dead members/parameters: ProgramState, respondsToCallback, autoTransition.
Remove addTransition method since it's the same as generateNode. Maybe we should
rename generateNode to genTransition (since a transition is always automatically
generated)?

1) Create a header file to expose the predefined visitors. And move the parent(BugReporterVisitor) there as well.
2) Remove the registerXXXVisitor functions - the Visitor constructors/getters can be used now to create the object. One exception is registerVarDeclsLastStore(), which registers more then one visitor, so make it static member of FindLastStoreBRVisitor.
3) Modify all the checkers to use the new API.

They cooperate in that NSErrorChecker listens for ImplicitNullDerefEvent events that
DereferenceChecker can dispatch.
ImplicitNullDerefEvent is when we dereferenced a location that may be null.

layout. :)
Rename the 'EntoSA' directories to 'StaticAnalyzer'.
Internally we will still use the 'ento' namespace
for the analyzer engine (unless there are further
sabre rattlings...).
