This silences false positives (leaks, use of uninitialized value) in simple
code that uses containers such as std::vector and std::list. The analyzer
cannot reason about the internal invariances of those data structures which
leads to false positives. Until we come up with a better solution to that
problem, let's just not inline the methods of the containers and allow objects
to escape whenever such methods are called.
This just extends an already existing flag "c++-container-inlining" and applies
the heuristic not only to constructors and destructors of the containers, but
to all of their methods.
We have a bunch of distinct user reports all related to this issue

This will let us stage in the modeling of operator new. The -analyzer-config
opton 'c++-inline-allocators' is currently off by default.
Patch by Karthik Bhat!
llvm-svn: 201122
The analyzer doesn't currently expect CFG blocks with terminators to be
empty, but this can happen when generating conditional destructors for
a complex logical expression, such as (a && (b || Temp{})). Moreover,
the branch conditions for these expressions are not persisted in the
state. Even for handling noreturn destructors this needs more work.
This reverts r186498.
llvm-svn: 186925
Summary:
This patch enables ExprEndgine to reason about temporary object destructors.
However, these destructor calls are never inlined, since this feature is still
broken. Still, this is sufficient to properly handle noreturn temporary
destructors and close bug #15599. I have also enabled the cfg-temporary-dtors
analyzer option by default.

The analyzer can't see the reference count for shared_ptr, so it doesn't
know whether a given destruction is going to delete the referenced object.
This leads to spurious leak and use-after-free warnings.
For now, just ban destructors named '~shared_ptr', which catches
std::shared_ptr, std::tr1::shared_ptr, and boost::shared_ptr.

Previously, we’ve used the last location of the analyzer issue path as the location of the
report. This might not provide the best user experience, when one analyzer a source
file and the issue appears in the header. Introduce an option to use the last location
of the path that is in the main source file as the report location.
New option can be enabled with -analyzer-config report-in-main-source-file=true.
llvm-svn: 182058
This turns on not only destructor inlining, but inlining of constructors
for types with non-trivial destructors. Per r178516, we will still not
inline the constructor or destructor of anything that looks like a
container unless the analyzer-config option 'c++-container-inlining' is
set to 'true'.
In addition to the more precise path-sensitive model, this allows us to
catch simple smart pointer issues:
#include <memory>
void test() {
std::auto_ptr<int> releaser(new int[4]);
} // memory allocated with 'new[]' should not be deleted with 'delete'

This is a heuristic to make up for the fact that the analyzer doesn't
model C++ containers very well. One example is modeling that
'std::distance(I, E) == 0' implies 'I == E'. In the future, it would be
nice to model this explicitly, but for now it just results in a lot of
false positives.
The actual heuristic checks if the base type has a member named 'begin' or
'iterator'. If so, we treat the constructors and destructors of that type
as opaque, rather than inlining them.
This is intended to drastically reduce the number of false positives
reported with experimental destructor support turned on. We can tweak the
heuristic in the future, but we'd rather err on the side of false negatives
for now.

This is controlled by the 'suppress-c++-stdlib' analyzer-config flag.
It is currently off by default.
This is more suppression than we'd like to do, since obviously there can
be user-caused issues within 'std', but it gives us the option to wield
a large hammer to suppress false positives the user likely can't work
around.
llvm-svn: 178513
The second modification does not lead to any visible result, but, theoretically, is what we should
have been looking at to begin with since we are checking if the node was assumed to be null in
an inlined function.
llvm-svn: 176576
This enables constructor inlining for types with non-trivial destructors.
The plan is to enable destructor inlining within the next month, but that
needs further verification.

Redefine the shallow mode to inline all functions for which we have a
definite definition (ipa=inlining). However, only inline functions that
are up to 4 basic blocks large and cut the max exploded nodes generated
per top level function in half.
This makes shallow faster and allows us to keep inlining small
functions. For example, we would keep inlining wrapper functions and
constructors/destructors.
With the new shallow, it takes 104s to analyze sqlite3, whereas
the deep mode is 658s and previous shallow is 209s.
llvm-svn: 173958
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.
llvm-svn: 173386
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.
llvm-svn: 170361
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.
llvm-svn: 169237
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.

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).
llvm-svn: 164449
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.
llvm-svn: 164339
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.
