The idea is to introduce a higher level "user mode" option for
different use scenarios. For example, if one wants to run the analyzer
for a small project each time the code is built, they would use
the "shallow" mode.
The user mode option will influence the default settings for the
lower-level analyzer options. For now, this just influences the ipa
modes, but we plan to find more optimal settings for them.

The idea is to eventually place all analyzer options under
"analyzer-config". In addition, this lays the ground for introduction of
a high-level analyzer mode option, which will influence the
default setting for IPAMode.

performance heuristic
After inlining a function with more than 13 basic blocks 32 times, we
are not going to inline it anymore. The idea is that inlining large
functions leads to drastic performance implications. Since the function
has already been inlined, we know that we've analyzed it in many
contexts.
The following metrics are used:
- Large function is a function with more than 13 basic blocks (we
should switch to another metric, like cyclomatic complexity)
- We consider that we've inlined a function many times if it's been
inlined 32 times. This number is configurable with -analyzer-config
max-times-inline-large=xx
This heuristic addresses a performance regression introduced with
inlining on one benchmark. The analyzer on this benchmark became 60
times slower with inlining turned on. The heuristic allows us to analyze
it in 24% of the time. The performance improvements on the other
benchmarks I've tested with are much lower - under 10%, which is
expected.

uncovered.
This required manually correcting all of the incorrect main-module
headers I could find, and running the new llvm/utils/sort_includes.py
script over the files.
I also manually added quite a few missing headers that were uncovered by
shuffling the order or moving headers up to be main-module-headers.

Our one basic suppression heuristic is to assume that functions do not
usually return NULL. However, when one of the arguments is NULL it is
suddenly much more likely that NULL is a valid return value. In this case,
we don't suppress the report here, but we do attach /another/ visitor to
go find out if this NULL argument also comes from an inlined function's
error path.
This new behavior, controlled by the 'avoid-suppressing-null-argument-paths'
analyzer-config option, is turned off by default. Turning it on produced
two false positives and no new true positives when running over LLVM/Clang.
This is one of the possible refinements to our suppression heuristics.

After every 1000 CFGElements processed, the ExplodedGraph trims out nodes
that satisfy a number of criteria for being "boring" (single predecessor,
single successor, and more). Rather than controlling this with a cc1 option,
which can only disable this behavior, we now have an analyzer-config option,
'graph-trim-interval', which can change this interval from 1000 to something
else. Setting the value to 0 disables reclamation.
The next commit relies on this behavior to actually test anything.

table, making it printable with the ConfigDump checker. Along the
way, fix a really serious bug where the value was getting parsed
from the string in code that was in an assert() call. This means
in a Release-Asserts build this code wouldn't work as expected.

string in the config table so that it can be dumped as part of the
config dumper. Add a test to show that these options are sticking
and can be cross-checked using FileCheck.

This is a heuristic intended to greatly reduce the number of false
positives resulting from inlining, particularly inlining of generic,
defensive C++ methods that live in header files. The suppression is
triggered in the cases where we ask to track where a null pointer came
from, and it turns out that the source of the null pointer was an inlined
function call.
This change brings the number of bug reports in LLVM from ~1500 down to
around ~300, a much more manageable number. Yes, some true positives may
be hidden as well, but from what I looked at the vast majority of silenced
reports are false positives, and many of the true issues found by the
analyzer are still reported.
I'm hoping to improve this heuristic further by adding some exceptions
next week (cases in which a bug should still be reported).

their implementations are unavailable. Start by simulating dispatch_sync().
This change is largely a bunch of plumbing around something very simple. We
use AnalysisDeclContext to conjure up a fake function body (using the
current ASTContext) when one does not exist. This is controlled
under the analyzer-config option "faux-bodies", which is off by default.
The plumbing in this patch is largely to pass the necessary machinery
around. CallEvent needs the AnalysisDeclContextManager to get
the function definition, as one may get conjured up lazily.
BugReporter and PathDiagnosticLocation needed to be relaxed to handle
invalid locations, as the conjured body has no real source locations.
We do some primitive recovery in diagnostic generation to generate
some reasonable locations (for arrows and events), but it can be
improved.

While PR13724 is still an issue, it's not actually an issue in the STL.
We can keep this option around in case there turn out to be widespread
false positives due to poor modeling of the C++ standard library functions,
but for now we'd like to get more data.
This reverts r163633 / c6baadceec1d5148c20ee6c902a102233c547f62.

The option allows to always inline very small functions, whose size (in
number of basic blocks) is set using -analyzer-config
ipa-always-inline-size option.
llvm-svn: 163558
This is a (heavy-handed) solution to PR13724 -- until we know we can do
a good job inlining the STL, it's best to be consistent and not generate
more false positives than we did before. We can selectively whitelist
certain parts of the 'std' namespace that are known to be safe.
This is controlled by analyzer config option 'c++-stdlib-inlining', which
can be set to "true" or "false".
This commit also adds control for whether or not to inline any templated
functions (member or non-member), under the config option
'c++-template-inlining'. This option is currently on by default.
llvm-svn: 163548
While destructors will continue to not be inlined (unless the analyzer
config option 'c++-inlining' is set to 'destructors'), leaving them out
of the CFG is an incomplete model of the behavior of an object, and
can cause false positive warnings (like PR13751, now working).
Destructors for temporaries are still not on by default, since
(a) we haven't actually checked this code to be sure it's fully correct
(in particular, we probably need to be very careful with regard to
lifetime-extension when a temporary is bound to a reference,
C++11 [class.temporary]p5), and
(b) ExprEngine doesn't actually do anything when it sees a temporary
destructor in the CFG -- not even invalidate the object region.
To enable temporary destructors, set the 'cfg-temporary-dtors' analyzer
config option to '1'. The old -cfg-add-implicit-dtors cc1 option, which
controlled all implicit destructors, has been removed.
llvm-svn: 163264
More generally, this adds a new configuration option 'c++-inlining', which
controls which C++ member functions can be considered for inlining. This
uses the new -analyzer-config table, so the cc1 arguments will look like this:
... -analyzer-config c++-inlining=[none|methods|constructors|destructors]
Note that each mode implies that all the previous member function kinds
will be inlined as well; it doesn't make sense to inline destructors
without inlining constructors, for example.
The default mode is 'methods'.
