If 'x' is a temporary, x.getAs<Foo>() may not be safe if the result is supposed to persist (if its address is stored somewhere). Since getAs() can return a null value, the result is almost always stored into a variable, which of course is not safe when the original value dies. This has caused several bugs with GCC's "Temporaries May Vanish Sooner Than You Expect" optimization; in C++11 builds, at least, we'll be able to catch these problems now. I would suggest applying these to other getAs() and get*As() methods (castAs is "better" because sometimes the result is used directly, which means the temporary will still be live), but these two have both caused trouble in the analyzer in the past. llvm-svn: 168967 |

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
