Update the nullability checker to allow an explicit cast to nonnull to
suppress a warning on an assignment of nil to a nonnull:
id _Nonnull x = (id _Nonnull)nil; // no-warning
This suppression as already possible for diagnostics on returns and
function/method arguments.
rdar://problem/25381178
llvm-svn: 266219
Treat a _Nonnull ivar that is nil as an invariant violation in a similar
fashion to how a nil _Nonnull parameter is treated as a precondition violation.
This avoids warning on defensive returns of nil on defensive internal
checks, such as the following common idiom:
@class InternalImplementation
@interface PublicClass {
InternalImplementation * _Nonnull _internal;
}
-(id _Nonnull)foo;
@end
@implementation PublicClass
-(id _Nonnull)foo {
if (!_internal)
return nil; // no-warning
return [_internal foo];
}
@end
rdar://problem/24485171
llvm-svn: 266157
The nullability checker can sometimes miss detecting nullability precondition
violations in inlined functions because the binding for the parameter
that violated the precondition becomes dead before the return:
int * _Nonnull callee(int * _Nonnull p2) {
if (!p2)
// p2 becomes dead here, so binding removed.
return 0; // warning here because value stored in p2 is symbolic.
else
return p2;
}
int *caller(int * _Nonnull p1) {
return callee(p1);
}
The fix, which is quite blunt, is to not warn about null returns in inlined
methods/functions. This won’t lose much coverage for ObjC because the analyzer
always analyzes each ObjC method at the top level in addition to inlined. It
*will* lose coverage for C — but there aren’t that many codebases with C
nullability annotations.
rdar://problem/25615050
llvm-svn: 266109
Change the nullability checker to not warn along paths where null is returned from
a method with a non-null return type, even when the diagnostic for this return
has been suppressed. This prevents warning from methods with non-null return types
that inline methods that themselves return nil but that suppressed the diagnostic.
Also change the PreconditionViolated state component to be called "InvariantViolated"
because it is set when a post-condition is violated, as well.
rdar://problem/25393539
llvm-svn: 264647
The -dealloc method in CIFilter is highly unusual in that it will release
instance variables belonging to its *subclasses* if the variable name
starts with "input" or backs a property whose name starts with "input".
Subclasses should not release these ivars in their own -dealloc method --
doing so could result in an over release.
Before this commit, the DeallocChecker would warn about missing releases for
such "input" properties -- which could cause users of the analyzer to add
over releases to silence the warning.
To avoid this, DeallocChecker now treats CIFilter "input-prefixed" ivars
as MustNotReleaseDirectly and so will not require a release. Further, it
will now warn when such an ivar is directly released in -dealloc.

llvm-svn: 262894
Add an -analyzer-config 'nullability:NoDiagnoseCallsToSystemHeaders' option to
the nullability checker. When enabled, this option causes the analyzer to not
report about passing null/nullable values to functions and methods declared
in system headers.
This option is motivated by the observation that large projects may have many
nullability warnings. These projects may find warnings about nullability
annotations that they have explicitly added themselves higher priority to fix
than warnings on calls to system libraries.
llvm-svn: 262763
In dealloc methods, the analyzer now warns when -dealloc is called directly on
a synthesized retain/copy ivar instead of -release. This is intended to find mistakes of
the form:
- (void)dealloc {
[_ivar dealloc]; // Mistaken call to -dealloc instead of -release
[super dealloc];
}
rdar://problem/16227989
llvm-svn: 262729
This prevents false negatives when a -dealloc method, for example, removes itself as
as an observer with [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self]. It is
unlikely that passing 'self' to a system header method will release 'self''s instance
variables, so this is unlikely to produce false positives.
A challenge here is that while CheckObjCDealloc no longer treats these calls as
escaping, the rest of the analyzer still does. In particular, this means that loads
from the same instance variable before and after a call to a system header will
result in different symbols being loaded by the region store. To account for this,
the checker now treats different ivar symbols with the same instance and ivar decl as
the same for the purpose of release checking and more eagerly removes a release
requirement when an instance variable is assumed to be nil. This was not needed before
because when an ivar escaped its release requirement was always removed -- now the
requirement is not removed for calls to system headers.

There are multiple, common idioms of defensive nil-checks in copy,

that we should improve later.
rdar://problem/24395811
llvm-svn: 259099
Previously the ObjC Dealloc Checker only checked classes with ivars, not
retained properties, which caused three bugs:
- False positive warnings about a missing -dealloc method in classes with only
ivars.
- Missing warnings about a missing -dealloc method on classes with only
properties.
- Missing warnings about an over-released or under-released ivar associated with
a retained property in classes with only properties.
The fix is to check only classes with at least one retained synthesized
property.
This also exposed a bug when reporting an over-released or under-released
property that did not contain a synthesize statement. The checker tried to
associate the warning with an @synthesize statement that did not exist, which
caused an assertion failure in debug builds. The fix is to fall back to the
@property statement in this case.

A common idiom in Objective-C initializers is for a defensive nil-check on the
result of a call to a super initializer:
if (self = [super init]) {

To avoid warning on this idiom, the nullability checker now suppress diagnostics
for returns of nil on syntactic 'return self' even in initializers with non-null
return types.
llvm-svn: 258461
In r256567 I changed the nullability checker to suppress warnings about returning a null
value from a function/method with a non-null return type when the type of the returned
expression is itself nonnull. This enables the programmer to silence nullability warnings
by casting to _Nonnull:
return (SomeObject * _Nonnull)nil;
Unfortunately, under ObjC automated reference counting, Sema adds implicit casts to
_Nonnull to return expressions of nullable or unspecified types in functions with
non-null function/method return types. With r256567, these casts cause all nullability
warnings for returns of reference-counted types to be suppressed under ARC, leading to
false negatives.
This commit updates the nullability checker to look through implicit casts before
determining the type of the returned expression. It also updates the tests to turn on
ARC for the nullability_nullonly.mm testfile and adds a new testfile to test when ARC
is turned off.

The purpose of these changes is to simplify introduction of definition files

1. For every sub-class C of these classes, its kind in the relevant enumeration
is changed to "CKind" (or C##Kind in preprocessor-ish terms), eg:
MemRegionKind -> MemRegionValKind
RegionValueKind -> SymbolRegionValueKind
CastSymbolKind -> SymbolCastKind
SymIntKind -> SymIntExprKind
2. MemSpaceRegion used to be inconsistently used as both an abstract base and
a particular region. This region class is now an abstract base and no longer
occupies GenericMemSpaceRegionKind. Instead, a new class, CodeSpaceRegion,
is introduced for handling the unique use case for MemSpaceRegion as
"the generic memory space" (when it represents a memory space that holds all
executable code).
3. BEG_ prefixes in memory region kind ranges are renamed to BEGIN_ for
consisitency with symbol kind ranges.
4. FunctionTextRegion and BlockTextRegion are renamed to FunctionCodeRegion and
BlockCodeRegion, respectively. The term 'code' is less jargony than 'text' and
we already refer to BlockTextRegion as a 'code region' in BlockDataRegion.

Prevent the analyzer from warning when a _Nonnnull local variable is implicitly
zero-initialized because of Objective-C automated reference counting. This avoids false
positives in cases where a _Nonnull local variable cannot be initialized with an
initialization expression, such as:
NSString * _Nonnull s; // no-warning
@autoreleasepool {
s = ...;
}
The nullability checker will still warn when a _Nonnull local variable is explicitly
initialized with nil.
This suppression introduces the potential for false negatives if the local variable
is used before it is assigned a _Nonnull value. Based on a discussion with Anna Zaks,
Jordan Rose, and John McCall, I've added a FIXME to treat implicitly zero-initialized
_Nonnull locals as uninitialized in Sema's UninitializedValues analysis to avoid these
false negatives.

llvm-svn: 256603
The nullability checker currently allows casts to suppress warnings when a nil
literal is passed as an argument to a parameter annotated as _Nonnull:
foo((NSString * _Nonnull)nil); // no-warning
It does so by suppressing the diagnostic when the *type* of the argument expression
is _Nonnull -- even when the symbolic value returned is known to be nil.
This commit updates the nullability checker to similarly honor such casts in the analogous
scenario when nil is returned from a function with a _Nonnull return type:
return (NSString * _Nonnull)nil; // no-warning
This commit also normalizes variable naming between the parameter and return cases and
adds several tests demonstrating the limitations of this suppression mechanism (such as
when nil is cast to _Nonnull and then stored into a local variable without a nullability
qualifier). These tests are marked with FIXMEs.

The intent of this checker is to generate a report for any class / structure
that could reduce its padding by reordering the fields. This results in a very
noisy checker. To reduce the noise, this checker will currently only warn when
the number of bytes over "optimal" is more than 24. This value is configurable
with -analyzer-config performance.Padding:AllowedPad=N. Small values of
AllowedPad have the potential to generate hundreds of reports, and gigabytes
of HTML reports.
The checker searches for padding violations in two main ways. First, it goes
record by record. A report is generated if the fields could be reordered in a
way that reduces the padding by more than AllowedPad bytes. Second, the
checker will generate a report if an array will cause more than AllowedPad
padding bytes to be generated.
The record checker currently skips many ABI specific cases. Classes with base
classes are skipped because base class tail padding is ABI specific. Bitfields
are just plain hard, and duplicating that code seems like a bad idea. VLAs are
both uncommon and non-trivial to fix.
The array checker isn't very thorough right now. It only checks to see if the
element type's fields could be reordered, and it doesn't recursively check to
see if any of the fields' fields could be reordered. At some point in the
future, it would be nice if "arrays" could also look at array new usages and
malloc patterns that appear to be creating arrays.

For example:

lambda();
In this case, the assignment setting `local` to 7 is not a dead store because
the called lambda will later read that assigned value.

This commit creates a new 'optin' top-level checker package and moves several of
the localizability checkers into it.
This package is for checkers that are not alpha and that would normally be on by

driver cannot determine whether a project is localized or not -- this is best
determined at the IDE or build-system level.
This new package is *not* intended for checkers that are too noisy to be on by

later on:

permanent unique identifier of the checker that produces the warning. Once that

The analyzer trims unnecessary nodes from the exploded graph before reporting
path diagnostics. However, in some cases it can trim all nodes (including the
error node), leading to an assertion failure (see
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24184).
This commit addresses the issue by adding two new APIs to CheckerContext to
explicitly create error nodes. Unless the client provides a custom tag, these
APIs tag the node with the checker's tag -- preventing it from being trimmed.
The generateErrorNode() method creates a sink error node, while
generateNonFatalErrorNode() creates an error node for a path that should
continue being explored.
The intent is that one of these two methods should be used whenever a checker
creates an error node.
This commit updates the checkers to use these APIs. These APIs
(unlike addTransition() and generateSink()) do not take an explicit Pred node.
This is because there are not any error nodes in the checkers that were created
with an explicit different than the default (the CheckerContext's Pred node).
It also changes generateSink() to require state and pred nodes (previously
these were optional) to reduce confusion.
Additionally, there were several cases where checkers did check whether a
generated node could be null; we now explicitly check for null in these places.
This commit also includes a test case written by Ying Yi as part of

In Objective-C, method calls with nil receivers are essentially no-ops. They
do not fault (although the returned value may be garbage depending on the
declared return type and architecture). Programmers are aware of this
behavior and will complain about a false alarm when the analyzer
diagnoses API violations for method calls when the receiver is known to
be nil.
Rather than require each individual checker to be aware of this behavior
and suppress a warning when the receiver is nil, this commit
changes ExprEngineObjC so that VisitObjCMessage skips calling checker
pre/post handlers when the receiver is definitely nil. Instead, it adds a
new event, ObjCMessageNil, that is only called in that case.
The CallAndMessageChecker explicitly cares about this case, so I've changed it
to add a callback for ObjCMessageNil and moved the logic in PreObjCMessage
that handles nil receivers to the new callback.
