[webkit.UncountedLambdaCapturesChecker] Recognize nested protectedThis pattern (#126443)

In WebKit, it's pretty common to capture "this" and "protectedThis"
where "protectedThis" is a guardian variable of type Ref or RefPtr for
"this". Furthermore, it's common for this "protectedThis" variable from
being passed to an inner lambda by std::move. Recognize this pattern so
that we don't emit warnings for nested inner lambdas.

To recognize this pattern, we introduce a new DenseSet,
ProtectedThisDecls, which contains every "protectedThis" we've
recognized to our subclass of DynamicRecursiveASTVisitor. This set is
now populated in "hasProtectedThis" and "declProtectsThis" uses this
DenseSet to determine a given value declaration constitutes a
"protectedThis" pattern or not.

Because hasProtectedThis and declProtectsThis had to be moved from the
checker class to the visitor class, it's now a responsibility of each
caller of visitLambdaExpr to check whether a given lambda captures
"this" without a "protectedThis" or not.

Finally, this PR improves the code to recognize "protectedThis" pattern
by allowing more nested CXXBindTemporaryExpr, CXXOperatorCallExpr, and
UnaryOperator expressions.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
