[NFC][analyzer] Rename `CheckerBase::getCheckerName` to `getName` (#130953) The method name `getCheckerName` would imply "get the name of the checker associated with `this`", so it's suitable for e.g. `BugType::getCheckerName` -- but a method that just "gets the name of `this`" should be simply called `getName`. This change eliminates the redundant and ugly pattern `Checker->getCheckerName()` and helps to visually distinguish this method from `BugType::getCheckerName`. In the constructor of `BugType` the call of this method was completely removed (instead of just changing the name) because that call was dead code (when the data member `Checker` is non-null, the string stored in `CheckerName` is irrelevant) and was often querying the name of the checker before it was properly initialized. Moreover, in `ReturnValueChecker.cpp` the static helper function `getName` (which gets a function name from a `CallEvent`) was renamed to the more specific `getFunctionName` to avoid the name collision. This change is yet another cleanup commit before my planned changes that would add support for multi-part checkers to this method.
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.
