[NFCI][analyzer] invalidateRegions: require explicit State (#164434) The method `CallEvent::invalidateRegions()` takes (an unsigned `BlockCount` and) a `ProgramStateRef` which was previously defaulted to `nullptr` -- and when the state argument was `nullptr`, the method used the "inner" state of the `CallEvent` as a starting point for the invalidation. My recent commit 0f6f13bdccd3345522b7d38294a72b802b6ffc28 turned the "inner" state of the `CallEvent` into a hidden `protected` implementation detail; so this commit follows that direction by removing the "defaults to the inner state" behavior from `invalidateRegions` to avoid exposing the inner state through this channel. The method `CallEvent::invalidateRegions()` was only called in two locations, only one of those was relying on the existence of the default argument value, and even there it was easy to explicitly pass the `State` object. This commit also eliminates a footgun: with the old logic, if some code had tried to pass a state explicitly (presumably because the "inner" state of the call was obsolete) but that "new" state happened to be `nullptr`, then `invalidateRegions` would have silently used the inner state attached to the call. However, I reviewed the call sites and don't think that it was actually possible to reach this buggy execution path.
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.
