[analyzer] Fix inf recursion in StackAddrEscapeChecker for self referencing blocks (#169208) Objective-C blocks are like lambdas. They have captures, just like lambdas. However, they can also implicitly capture themselves unlike lambdas. This means that when walking the captures of a block, we may end up in infinite recursion. This is not possible with lambdas, but happened in practice with blocks downstream. In this patch, I just use a set to keep track of the visited MemRegions. Note that theoretically, there is nothing preventing usual lambdas or functors from falling for the same trap, but probably slightly more difficult to do so. You would likely need a pointer to itself, etc. I'll not speculate here. This inf recursion was likely caused by #126620, released in clang-21. rdar://162215172
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.
