During my work on analyzer dependencies, I created a great amount of new
checkers that emitted no diagnostics at all, and were purely modeling some
function or another.
However, the user shouldn't really disable/enable these by hand, hence this
patch, which hides these by default. I intentionally chose not to hide alpha
checkers, because they have a scary enough name, in my opinion, to cause no
surprise when they emit false positives or cause crashes.
The patch introduces the Hidden bit into the TableGen files (you may remember
it before I removed it in D53995), and checkers that are either marked as
hidden, or are in a package that is marked hidden won't be displayed under
-analyzer-checker-help. -analyzer-checker-help-hidden, a new flag meant for
developers only, displays the full list.

Similarly to D61106, the checker ran over an llvm_unreachable for vector types:
struct VectorSizeLong {
VectorSizeLong() {}
__attribute__((__vector_size__(16))) long x;
};
void __vector_size__LongTest() {
VectorSizeLong v;
}
Since, according to my short research,
"The vector_size attribute is only applicable to integral and float scalars,
although arrays, pointers, and function return values are allowed in conjunction
with this construct."
[src: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.1/gcc/Vector-Extensions.html#Vector-Extensions]

Currently we always inline functions that have no branches, i.e. have exactly
three CFG blocks: ENTRY, some code, EXIT. This makes sense because when there
are no branches, it means that there's no exponential complexity introduced
by inlining such function. Such functions also don't trigger various fundamental
problems with our inlining mechanism, such as the problem of inlined
defensive checks.
Sometimes the CFG may contain more blocks, but in practice it still has
linear structure because all directions (except, at most, one) of all branches
turned out to be unreachable. When this happens, still treat the function
as "small". This is useful, in particular, for dealing with C++17 if constexpr.

Because RetainCountChecker has custom "local" reasoning about escapes,
it has a separate facility to deal with tracked symbols at end of analysis
and check them for leaks regardless of whether they're dead or not.
This facility iterates over the list of tracked symbols and reports
them as leaks, but it needs to treat the return value specially.
Some custom allocators tend to return the value with an offset, storing
extra metadata at the beginning of the buffer. In this case the return value
would be a non-base region. In order to avoid false positives, we still need to
find the original symbol within the return value, otherwise it'll be unable
to match it to the item in the list of tracked symbols.

the assertion is in fact incorrect: there is a cornercase in Objective-C++

For the following code snippet, UninitializedObjectChecker crashed:
struct MyAtomicInt {
_Atomic(int) x;
MyAtomicInt() {}
};
void entry() {
MyAtomicInt b;
}
The problem was that _Atomic types were not regular records, unions,
dereferencable or primitive, making the checker hit the llvm_unreachable at
lib/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/UninitializedObject/UninitializedObjectChecker.cpp:347.
The solution is to regard these types as primitive as well. The test case shows
that with this addition, not only are we able to get rid of the crash, but we
can identify x as uninitialized.

Currently iterator checkers record comparison of iterator positions
and process them for keeping track the distance between them (e.g.
whether a position is the same as the end position). However this
makes some processing unnecessarily complex and it is not needed at
all: we only need to keep track between the abstract symbols stored
in these iterator positions. This patch changes this and opens the
path to comparisons to the begin() and end() symbols between the
container (e.g. size, emptiness) which are stored as symbols, not
iterator positions. The functionality of the checker is unchanged.

When growing a body on a body farm, it's essential to use the same redeclaration

Detailed description:
In the last couple months, a lot of effort was put into tightening the
analyzer's command line interface. The main issue is that it's spectacularly
easy to mess up a lenghty enough invocation of the analyzer, and the user was
given no warnings or errors at all in that case.
We can divide the effort of resolving this into several chapters:
* Non-checker analyzer configurations:
Gather every analyzer configuration into a dedicated file. Emit errors for
non-existent configurations or incorrect values. Be able to list these
configurations. Tighten AnalyzerOptions interface to disallow making such
a mistake in the future.
* Fix the "Checker Naming Bug" by reimplementing checker dependencies:
When cplusplus.InnerPointer was enabled, it implicitly registered
unix.Malloc, which implicitly registered some sort of a modeling checker
from the CStringChecker family. This resulted in all of these checker
objects recieving the name "cplusplus.InnerPointer", making AnalyzerOptions
asking for the wrong checker options from the command line:
cplusplus.InnerPointer:Optimisic
istead of
unix.Malloc:Optimistic.
This was resolved by making CheckerRegistry responsible for checker
dependency handling, instead of checkers themselves.
* Checker options: (this patch included!)
Same as the first item, but for checkers.
(+ minor fixes here and there, and everything else that is yet to come)
There were several issues regarding checker options, that non-checker
configurations didn't suffer from: checker plugins are loaded runtime, and they
could add new checkers and new options, meaning that unlike for non-checker
configurations, we can't collect every checker option purely by generating code.
Also, as seen from the "Checker Naming Bug" issue raised above, they are very
rarely used in practice, and all sorts of skeletons fell out of the closet while
working on this project.
They were extremely problematic for users as well, purely because of how long
they were. Consider the following monster of a checker option:
alpha.cplusplus.UninitializedObject:CheckPointeeInitialization=false
While we were able to verify whether the checker itself (the part before the
colon) existed, any errors past that point were unreported, easily resulting
in 7+ hours of analyses going to waste.
This patch, similarly to how dependencies were reimplemented, uses TableGen to
register checker options into Checkers.td, so that Checkers.inc now contains
entries for both checker and package options. Using the preprocessor,
Checkers.inc is converted into code in CheckerRegistry, adding every builtin
(checkers and packages that have an entry in the Checkers.td file) checker and
package option to the registry. The new addPackageOption and addCheckerOption
functions expose the same functionality to statically-linked non-builtin and
plugin checkers and packages as well.
Emitting errors for incorrect user input, being able to list these options, and
some other functionalies will land in later patches.

Ideally, there is no reason behind not being able to depend on checkers that
come from a different plugin (or on builtin checkers) -- however, this is only
possible if all checkers are added to the registry before resolving checker
dependencies. Since I used a binary search in my addDependency method, this also
resulted in an assertion failure (due to CheckerRegistry::Checkers not being
sorted), since the function used by plugins to register their checkers
(clang_registerCheckers) calls addDependency.
This patch resolves this issue by only noting which dependencies have to
established when addDependency is called, and resolves them at a later stage
when no more checkers are added to the registry, by which point
CheckerRegistry::Checkers is already sorted.

Default RegionStore bindings represent values that can be obtained by loading
from anywhere within the region, not just the specific offset within the region
that they are said to be bound to. For example, default-binding a character \0
to an int (eg., via memset()) means that the whole int is 0, not just
that its lower byte is 0.
Even though memset and bzero were modeled this way, it didn't work correctly
when applied to simple variables. Eg., in
int x;
memset(x, 0, sizeof(x));
we did produce a default binding, but were unable to read it later, and 'x'
was perceived as an uninitialized variable even after memset.
At the same time, if we replace 'x' with a variable of a structure or array
type, accessing fields or elements of such variable was working correctly,
which was enough for most cases. So this was only a problem for variables of
simple integer/enumeration/floating-point/pointer types.
Fix loading default bindings from RegionStore for regions of simple variables.
Add a unit test to document the API contract as well.

Writing stuff into an argument variable is usually equivalent to writing stuff
to a local variable: it will have no effect outside of the function.
There's an important exception from this rule: if the argument variable has
a non-trivial destructor, the destructor would be invoked on
the parent stack frame, exposing contents of the otherwise dead
argument variable to the caller.
If such argument is the last place where a pointer is stored before the function
exits and the function is the one we've started our analysis from (i.e., we have
no caller context for it), we currently diagnose a leak. This is incorrect
because the destructor of the argument still has access to the pointer.
The destructor may deallocate the pointer or even pass it further.
Treat writes into such argument regions as "escapes" instead, suppressing
spurious memory leak reports but not messing with dead symbol removal.

The idea behind this heuristic is that normally the visitor is there to
inform the user that a certain function may fail to initialize a certain
out-parameter. For system header functions this is usually dictated by the
contract, and it's unlikely that the header function has accidentally
forgot to put the value into the out-parameter; it's more likely
that the user has intentionally skipped the error check.
Warnings on skipped error checks are more like security warnings;
they aren't necessarily useful for all users, and they should instead
be introduced on a per-API basis.

__builtin_constant_p(x) is a compiler builtin that evaluates to 1 when
its argument x is a compile-time constant and to 0 otherwise. In CodeGen
it is simply lowered to the respective LLVM intrinsic. In the Analyzer
we've been trying to delegate modeling to Expr::EvaluateAsInt, which is
allowed to sometimes fail for no apparent reason.
When it fails, let's conservatively return false. Modeling it as false
is pretty much never wrong, and it is only required to return true
on a best-effort basis, which every user should expect.

It turns out that SourceManager::isInSystemHeader() crashes when an invalid

The transfer function for the CFG element that represents a logical operation
computes the value of the operation and does nothing else. The element
appears after all the short circuit decisions were made, so they don't need
to be made again at this point.
Because our expression evaluation is imprecise, it is often hard to
discriminate between:
(1) we don't know the value of the RHS because we failed to evaluate it
and
(2) we don't know the value of the RHS because it didn't need to be evaluated.
This is hard because it depends on our knowledge about the value of the LHS
(eg., if LHS is true, then RHS in (LHS || RHS) doesn't need to be computed)
but LHS itself may have been evaluated imprecisely and we don't know whether
it is true or not. Additionally, the Analyzer wouldn't necessarily even remember
what the value of the LHS was because theoretically it's not really necessary
to know it for any future evaluations.
In order to work around these issues, the transfer function for logical
operations consists in looking at the ExplodedGraph we've constructed so far
in order to figure out from which CFG direction did we arrive here.
Such post-factum backtracking that doesn't involve looking up LHS and RHS values
is usually possible. However sometimes it fails because when we deduplicate
exploded nodes with the same program point and the same program state we may end
up in a situation when we reached the same program point from two or more
different directions.
By removing the assertion, we admit that the procedure indeed sometimes fails to
work. When it fails, we also admit that we don't know the value of the logical
operator.

Almost all path-sensitive checkers need to tell the user when something specific
to that checker happens along the execution path but does not constitute a bug
on its own. For instance, a call to operator delete in C++ has consequences
that are specific to a use-after-free bug. Deleting an object is not a bug
on its own, but when the Analyzer finds an execution path on which a deleted
object is used, it'll have to explain to the user when exactly during that path
did the deallocation take place.
Historically such custom notes were added by implementing "bug report visitors".
These visitors were post-processing bug reports by visiting every ExplodedNode
along the path and emitting path notes whenever they noticed that a change that
is relevant to a bug report occurs within the program state. For example,
it emits a "memory is deallocated" note when it notices that a pointer changes
its state from "allocated" to "deleted".
The "visitor" approach is powerful and efficient but hard to use because
such preprocessing implies that the developer first models the effects
of the event (say, changes the pointer's state from "allocated" to "deleted"
as part of operator delete()'s transfer function) and then forgets what happened
and later tries to reverse-engineer itself and figure out what did it do
by looking at the report.
The proposed approach tries to avoid discarding the information that was
available when the transfer function was evaluated. Instead, it allows the
developer to capture all the necessary information into a closure that
will be automatically invoked later in order to produce the actual note.
This should reduce boilerplate and avoid very painful logic duplication.
On the technical side, the closure is a lambda that's put into a special kind of
a program point tag, and a special bug report visitor visits all nodes in the
report and invokes all note-producing closures it finds along the path.
For now it is up to the lambda to make sure that the note is actually relevant
to the report. For instance, a memory deallocation note would be irrelevant when
we're reporting a division by zero bug or if we're reporting a use-after-free
of a different, unrelated chunk of memory. The lambda can figure these thing out
by looking at the bug report object that's passed into it.
A single checker is refactored to make use of the new functionality: MIGChecker.
Its program state is trivial, making it an easy testing ground for the first
version of the API.

Since rL335814, if the constraint manager cannot find a range set for `A - B`
(where `A` and `B` are symbols) it looks for a range for `B - A` and returns
it negated if it exists. However, if a range set for both `A - B` and `B - A`
is stored then it only returns the first one. If we both use `A - B` and
`B - A`, these expressions behave as two totally unrelated symbols. This way
we miss some useful deductions which may lead to false negatives or false
positives.
This tiny patch changes this behavior: if the symbolic expression the
constraint manager is looking for is a difference `A - B`, it tries to
retrieve the range for both `A - B` and `B - A` and if both exists it returns
the intersection of range `A - B` and the negated range of `B - A`. This way
every time a checker applies new constraints to the symbolic difference or to
its negated it always affects both the original difference and its negated.
