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.

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.

This was causing a crash in our array-to-pointer logic, since the region
was clearly not an array.

implicit lvalue-to-rvalue casts that John McCall
recently introduced. This causes a whole bunch
of logic in the analyzer for handling lvalues
to vanish. It does, however, raise a few issues
in the analyzer w.r.t to modeling various constructs
(e.g., field accesses to compound literals).
The .c/.m analysis test cases that fail are
due to a missing lvalue-to-rvalue cast that
will get introduced into the AST. The .cpp
failures were more than I could investigate in
one go, and the patch was already getting huge.
I have XFAILED some of these tests, and they
should obviously be further investigated.
Some highlights of this patch include:
- CFG no longer requires an lvalue bit for
CFGElements
- StackFrameContext doesn't need an 'asLValue'
flag
- The "VisitLValue" path from GRExprEngine has
been eliminated.
Besides the test case failures (XFAILed), there
are surely other bugs that are fallout from
this change.
