[analyzer] Avoid creating LazyCompoundVal when possible (#116840) In #115916 I allowed copying empty structs. Later in #115917 I changed how objects are copied, and basically when we would want to copy a struct (an LCV) of a single symbol (likely coming from an opaque fncall or invalidation), just directly bind that symbol instead of creating an LCV referring to the symbol. This was an optimization to skip a layer of indirection. Now, it turns out I should have apply the same logic in #115916. I should not have just blindly created an LCV by calling `createLazyBinding()`, but rather check if I can apply the shortcut described in #115917 and only create the LCV if the shortcut doesn't apply. In this patch I check if there is a single default binding that the copy would refer to and if so, just return that symbol instead of creating an LCV. There shouldn't be any observable changes besides that we should have fewer LCVs. This change may surface bugs in checkers that were associating some metadata with entities in a wrong way. Notably, STLAlgorithmModeling and DebugIteratorModeling checkers would likely stop working after this change. I didn't investigate them deeply because they were broken even prior to this patch. Let me know if I should migrate these checkers to be just as bugged as they were prior to this patch - thus make the tests pass.
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.
