When we follow uses, e.g., in AAMemoryBehavior or AANoCapture, we need
to make sure the value is a pointer before we ask for abstract
attributes only valid for pointers. This happens because we follow
pointers through calls that do not capture but may return the value.
When we reason about the pointer argument that is byval we actually
reason about a local copy of the value passed at the call site. This was
not the case before and we wrongly introduced attributes based on the
surrounding function.
AAMemoryBehaviorArgument, AAMemoryBehaviorCallSiteArgument and
AANoCaptureCallSiteArgument are made aware of byval now. The code
to skip "subsuming positions" for reasoning follows a common pattern and
we should refactor it. A TODO was added.
Discovered by @efriedma as part of D69748.
Summary:
This patch moves the test cases related to Attributor to `Transforms/Attributor` folder.
We have used `Transforms/FunctionAttrs` as the primary folder for Attributor test but we need to change testing way now.
For the test cases which I think functionattrs doesn't infer anything something like (willreturn, nosync, value-simplify, h2s ..etc), I moved them with the command `git mv`.
For the test cases in which functoinattrs and attributor are tested, I copied the test to the folder and remove the check only used by functoinattrs.
