Changed the warning message:
- **From**: 'Attempt to free released memory'
**To**: 'Attempt to release already released memory'
- **From**: 'Attempt to free non-owned memory'
**To**: 'Attempt to release non-owned memory'
- **From**: 'Use of memory after it is freed'

MallocChecker.cpp has a complex heuristic that supresses reports where
the memory release happens during the release of a reference-counted
object (to suppress a significant amount of false positives).
Previously this logic asserted that there is at most one release point
corresponding to a symbol, but it turns out that there is a rare corner
case where the symbol can be released, forgotten and then released
again. This commit removes that assertion to avoid the crash. (As this
issue just affects a bug suppression heuristic, I didn't want to dig
deeper and modify the way the state of the symbol is changed.)
Fixes#149754
A clang user pointed out that messages for the static analyzer undefined
assignment checker use the term ‘garbage’, which might have a negative
connotation to some users. This change updates the messages to use the
term ‘uninitialized’. This is the usual reason why a value is undefined
in the static analyzer and describes the logical error that a programmer
should take action to fix.
Out-of-bounds reads can also produce undefined values in the static
analyzer. The right long-term design is to have to the array bounds
checker cover out-of-bounds reads, so we do not cover that case in the
updated messages. The recent improvements to the array bounds checker
make it a candidate to add to the core set of checkers.

In preparation of making `-Wreturn-type` default to an error (as there
is virtually no situation where you’d *want* to fall off the end of a
function that is supposed to return a value), this patch fixes tests
that have relied on this being only a warning, of which there seem
to be 3 kinds:
1. Tests which for no apparent reason have a function that triggers the
warning.
I suspect that a lot of these were on accident (or from before the
warning was introduced), since a lot of people will open issues w/ their
problematic code in the `main` function (which is the one case where you
don’t need to return from a non-void function, after all...), which
someone will then copy, possibly into a namespace, possibly renaming it,
the end result of that being that you end up w/ something that
definitely is not `main` anymore, but which still is declared as
returning `int`, and which still has no return statement (another reason
why I think this might apply to a lot of these is because usually the
actual return type of such problematic functions is quite literally
`int`).
A lot of these are really old tests that don’t use `-verify`, which is
why no-one noticed or had to care about the extra warning that was
already being emitted by them until now.
2. Tests which test either `-Wreturn-type`, `[[noreturn]]`, or what
codegen and sanitisers do whenever you do fall off the end of a
function.
3. Tests where I struggle to figure out what is even being tested
(usually because they’re Objective-C tests, and I don’t know
Objective-C), whether falling off the end of a function matters in the
first place, and tests where actually spelling out an expression to
return would be rather cumbersome (e.g. matrix types currently don’t
support list initialisation, so I can’t write e.g. `return {}`).
For tests that fall into categories 2 and 3, I just added
`-Wno-error=return-type` to the `RUN` lines and called it a day. This
was especially necessary for the former since `-Wreturn-type` is an
analysis-based warning, meaning that it is currently impossible to test
for more than one occurrence of it in the same compilation if it
defaults to an error since the analysis pass is skipped for subsequent
functions as soon as an error is emitted.
I’ve also added `-Werror=return-type` to a few tests that I had already
updated as this patch was previously already making the warning an error
by default, but we’ve decided to split that into two patches instead.
This commit moves the **alpha.security.taint.TaintPropagation** and
**alpha.security.taint.GenericTaint** checkers to the **optin.taint**
optional package.
These checkers were stabilized and improved by recent commits thus
they are ready for production use.
A new optional checker (optin.taint.TaintedAlloc) will warn if a memory
allocation function (malloc, calloc, realloc, alloca, operator new[]) is
called with a tainted (attacker controlled) size parameter.
A large, maliciously set size value can trigger memory exhaustion. To
get this warning, the alpha.security.taint.TaintPropagation checker also
needs to be switched on.
The warning will only be emitted, if the analyzer cannot prove that the
size is below reasonable bounds (<SIZE_MAX/4).
This commit ensures that the `CallDescription`s in `MallocChecker` are
matched with the mode `CDM::CLibrary`, so:
- they don't match methods or functions within user-defined namespaces;
- they also match builtin variants of these functions (if any), so the
checker can model `__builtin_alloca()` like `alloca()`.
This change fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/81597. New
tests were added to verify that `std::malloc` and `std::free` (from
`<cstdlib>`) are modeled, but a method that's named e.g. `free` isn't
confused with the memory release function.
The responsibility for modeling `__builtin_alloca` and
`__builtin_alloca_with_align` was moved from `BuiltinFunctionChecker` to
`MallocChecker`, to avoid buggy interactions between the checkers and
ensure that the builtin and non-builtin variants are handled by exactly
the same logic.
This change might be a step backwards for the users who don't have
`unix.Malloc` enabled; but I suspect that `__builtin_alloca()` is so
rare that it would be a waste of time to implement backwards
compatibility for them.
There were several test files that relied on `__builtin_alloca()` calls
to get an `AllocaRegion`, these were modified to enable `unix.Malloc`.
One of these files (cxx-uninitialized-object-ptr-ref.cpp) had some tests
that relied on the fact that `malloc()` was treated as a "black box" in
them, these were updated to use `calloc()` (to get initialized memory)
and `free()` (to avoid memory leak reports).
While I was developing this change, I found a very suspicious assert in
`MallocChecker`. As it isn't blocking the goals of this commit, I just
marked it with a FIXME, but I'll try to investigate and fix it in a
follow-up change.
...to model the results of alloca() and _alloca() calls. Previously it
acted as if these functions were returning memory from the heap, which
led to alpha.security.ArrayBoundV2 producing incorrect messages.
We have a new policy in place making links to private resources
something we try to avoid in source and test files. Normally, we'd
organically switch to the new policy rather than make a sweeping change
across a project. However, Clang is in a somewhat special circumstance
currently: recently, I've had several new contributors run into rdar
links around test code which their patch was changing the behavior of.
This turns out to be a surprisingly bad experience, especially for
newer folks, for a handful of reasons: not understanding what the link
is and feeling intimidated by it, wondering whether their changes are
actually breaking something important to a downstream in some way,
having to hunt down strangers not involved with the patch to impose on
them for help, accidental pressure from asking for potentially private
IP to be made public, etc. Because folks run into these links entirely
by chance (through fixing bugs or working on new features), there's not
really a set of problematic links to focus on -- all of the links have
basically the same potential for causing these problems. As a result,
this is an omnibus patch to remove all such links.
This was not a mechanical change; it was done by manually searching for
rdar, radar, radr, and other variants to find all the various
problematic links. From there, I tried to retain or reword the
surrounding comments so that we would lose as little context as
possible. However, because most links were just a plain link with no
supporting context, the majority of the changes are simple removals.

I'm trying to remove unused options from the `Analyses.def` file, then
merge the rest of the useful options into the `AnalyzerOptions.def`.
Then make sure one can set these by an `-analyzer-config XXX=YYY` style
flag.
Then surface the `-analyzer-config` to the `clang` frontend;
After all of this, we can pursue the tablegen approach described

In this patch, I'm proposing flag deprecations.
We should support deprecated analyzer flags for exactly one release. In
this case I'm planning to drop this flag in `clang-16`.
In the clang frontend, now we won't pass this option to the cc1
frontend, rather emit a warning diagnostic reminding the users about
this deprecated flag, which will be turned into error in clang-16.
Unfortunately, I had to remove all the tests referring to this flag,
causing a mass change. I've also added a test for checking this warning.
I've seen that `scan-build` also uses this flag, but I think we should
remove that part only after we turn this into a hard error.

C89 allowed a type specifier to be elided with the resulting type being
int, aka implicit int behavior. This feature was subsequently removed
in C99 without a deprecation period, so implementations continued to
support the feature. Now, as with implicit function declarations, is a
good time to reevaluate the need for this support.
This patch allows -Wimplicit-int to issue warnings in C89 mode (off by
default), defaults the warning to an error in C99 through C17, and
disables support for the feature entirely in C2x. It also removes a
warning about missing declaration specifiers that really was just an
implicit int warning in disguise and other minor related cleanups.
This patch adds -Wno-strict-prototypes to all of the test cases that
use functions without prototypes, but not as the primary concern of the
test. e.g., attributes testing whether they can/cannot be applied to a
function without a prototype, etc.
This is done in preparation for enabling -Wstrict-prototypes by

If we allocate memory, the extent of the MemRegion will be the symbolic

the extent will be also constrained.

In the added testfile, the from argument was recognized as
&Element{SymRegion{reg_$0<long * global_a>},-1 S64b,long}
instead of
reg_$0<long * global_a>.
The very essence of MallocChecker lies in 2 overload sets: the FreeMemAux
functions and the MallocMemAux functions. The former houses most of the error
checking as well (aside from leaks), such as incorrect deallocation. There, we
check whether the argument's MemSpaceRegion is the heap or unknown, and if it
isn't, we know we encountered a bug (aside from a corner case patched by
@balazske in D76830), as specified by MEM34-C.
In ReallocMemAux, which really is the combination of FreeMemAux and
MallocMemAux, we incorrectly early returned if the memory argument of realloc is
non-symbolic. The problem is, one of the cases where this happens when we know
precisely what the region is, like an array, as demonstrated in the test file.
So, lets get rid of this false negative :^)

The "postponed" mechanism turns out to be necessary in order to handle
situations when a symbolic region is only kept alive by implicit bindings
in the Store. Otherwise the region is never scanned by the Store's worklist
and the binding gets dropped despite being live, as demonstrated
by the newly added tests.

* Provided documentation, or moved existing documentation in more obvious

* Added dividers. (the //===----------===// thing).
* Moved getAllocationFamily, printAllocDeallocName, printExpectedAllocName and

AllocationFamily is declared, as they are very strongly related.
* Moved isReleased and MallocUpdateRefState near RefState's definition for the

* Realloc modeling was very poor in terms of variable and structure naming, as
well as documentation, so I renamed some of them and added much needed docs.
* Moved function IdentifierInfos to a separate struct, and moved isMemFunction,
isCMemFunction adn isStandardNewDelete inside it. This makes the patch affect
quite a lot of lines, should I extract it to a separate one?
* Moved MallocBugVisitor out of MallocChecker.
* Preferred switches to long else-if branches in some places.
