//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This checker tries to find nullability violations. There are several kinds of
// possible violations:
// * Null pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.
// * Null pointer is returned from a function which has a _Nonnull return type.
// * Nullable pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.
// * Nullable pointer is returned from a function which has a _Nonnull return
//   type.
// * Nullable pointer is dereferenced.
//
// This checker propagates the nullability information of the pointers and looks
// for the patterns that are described above. Explicit casts are trusted and are
// considered a way to suppress false positives for this checker. The other way
// to suppress warnings would be to add asserts or guarding if statements to the
// code. In addition to the nullability propagation this checker also uses some
// heuristics to suppress potential false positives.
