It's an old bug that consists in stale references to symbols remaining in the
GDM if they disappear from other program state sections as a result of any
operation that isn't the actual dead symbol collection. The most common example
here is:
FILE *fp = fopen("myfile.txt", "w");
fp = 0; // leak of file descriptor
In this example the leak were not detected previously because the symbol
disappears from the public part of the program state due to evaluating
the assignment. For that reason the checker never receives a notification
that the symbol is dead, and never reports a leak.
This patch not only causes leak false negatives, but also a number of other
problems, including false positives on some checkers.
What's worse, even though the program state contains a finite number of symbols,
the set of symbols that dies is potentially infinite. This means that is
impossible to compute the set of all dead symbols to pass off to the checkers
for cleaning up their part of the GDM.
No longer compute the dead set at all. Disallow iterating over dead symbols.
Disallow querying if any symbols are dead. Remove the API for marking symbols
as dead, as it is no longer necessary. Update checkers accordingly.

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

In most cases using
`N->getState()->getSVal(E, N->getLocationContext())`
is ugly, verbose, and also opens up more surface area for bugs if an
inconsistent location context is used.
This patch introduces a helper on an exploded node, and ensures
consistent usage of either `ExplodedNode::getSVal` or
`CheckContext::getSVal` across the codebase.
As a result, a large number of redundant lines is removed.

The checker used to crash when a mempcpy's length argument is symbolic. In this
case the cast from 'void *' to 'char *' failed because the respective
ElementRegion that represents cast is hard to add on top of the existing
ElementRegion that represents the offset to the last copied byte, while
preseving a sane memory region structure.
Additionally, a few test cases are added (to casts.c) which demonstrate problems
caused by existing sloppy work we do with multi-layer ElementRegions. If said
cast would be modeled properly in the future, these tests would need to be
taken into account.

Like SymbolConjured, SymbolMetadata also needs to be uniquely
identified by the moment of its birth.
Such moments are coded by the (Statement, LocationContext, Block count) triples.
Each such triple represents the moment of analyzing a statement with a certain
call backtrace, with corresponding CFG block having been entered a given amount
of times during analysis of the current code body.
The LocationContext information was accidentally omitted for SymbolMetadata,
which leads to reincarnation of SymbolMetadata upon re-entering a code body
with a different backtrace; the new symbol is incorrectly unified with
the old symbol, which leads to unsound assumptions.

llvm-svn: 260043
The purpose of these changes is to simplify introduction of definition files
for the three hierarchies.
1. For every sub-class C of these classes, its kind in the relevant enumeration
is changed to "CKind" (or C##Kind in preprocessor-ish terms), eg:
MemRegionKind -> MemRegionValKind
RegionValueKind -> SymbolRegionValueKind
CastSymbolKind -> SymbolCastKind
SymIntKind -> SymIntExprKind
2. MemSpaceRegion used to be inconsistently used as both an abstract base and
a particular region. This region class is now an abstract base and no longer
occupies GenericMemSpaceRegionKind. Instead, a new class, CodeSpaceRegion,
is introduced for handling the unique use case for MemSpaceRegion as
"the generic memory space" (when it represents a memory space that holds all
executable code).
3. BEG_ prefixes in memory region kind ranges are renamed to BEGIN_ for
consisitency with symbol kind ranges.
4. FunctionTextRegion and BlockTextRegion are renamed to FunctionCodeRegion and
BlockCodeRegion, respectively. The term 'code' is less jargony than 'text' and
we already refer to BlockTextRegion as a 'code region' in BlockDataRegion.

Change the analyzer's modeling of memcpy to be more precise when copying into fixed-size

analyzer now invalidates only offsets for the array itself when it can show that the
memcpy stays within the bounds of the array.
This addresses false positive memory leak warnings of the kind reported by

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).

llvm-svn: 219024
Summary:
In clang-tidy we'd like to know the name of the checker producing each
diagnostic message. PathDiagnostic has BugType and Category fields, which are
both arbitrary human-readable strings, but we need to know the exact name of the
checker in the form that can be used in the CheckersControlList option to
enable/disable the specific checker.
This patch adds the CheckName field to the CheckerBase class, and sets it in
the CheckerManager::registerChecker() method, which gets them from the
CheckerRegistry.
Checkers that implement multiple checks have to store the names of each check
in the respective registerXXXChecker method.

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;
