[WebKit checkers] Recognize ensureFoo functions (#119681) In WebKit, we often write Foo::ensureBar function which lazily initializes m_bar and returns a raw pointer or a raw reference to m_bar. Such a return value is safe to use for the duration of a member function call in Foo so long as m_bar is const so that it never gets unset or updated with a new value once it's initialized. This PR adds support for recognizing these types of functions and treating its return value as a safe origin of a function argument (including "this") or a local variable.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
