Dead store detection automatically checks that an expression is a
CXXConstructor and skips it because of potential side effects. In C++17,
with guaranteed copy elision, this check can fail because we actually
receive the implicit cast of a CXXConstructor.
Most checks in the dead store analysis were already stripping all casts
and parenthesis and those that weren't were either forgotten (like the
constructor) or would not suffer from it, so this patch proposes to
factorize the stripping.
It has an impact on where the dead store warning is reported in the case
of an explicit cast, from
auto a = static_cast<B>(A());
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to
auto a = static_cast<B>(A());
^~~
which we think is an improvement.

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
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-tablegen-clang-static-analyzer-engine-options-for-better-documentation/61488
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.

Enables the users to specify an optional flag which would warn for more dead
stores.
Previously it ignored if the dead store happened e.g. in an if condition.
if ((X = generate())) { // dead store to X
}
This patch introduces the `WarnForDeadNestedAssignments` option to the checker,
which is `false` by default - so this change would not affect any previous
users.
I have updated the code, tests and the docs as well. If I missed something, tell
me.
I also ran the analysis on Clang which generated 14 more reports compared to the
unmodified version. All of them seemed reasonable for me.

Summary: The basic constraint solver was dropped in rL162384, leaving the range constraint solver as the default and only constraint solver. Explicitly specifying it is unnecessary, and makes it difficult to test with other solver backends.

Since we don't check functions in dependent contexts, we should skip blocks
in those contexts as well. This avoids an assertion failure when the
DeadStoresChecker attempts to evaluate an array subscript expression with
a dependent name type.

Neither of the current clients of CFGRecStmtDeclVisitor are doing
anything with typedefs, so I assume type aliases (C++11 "using")
can be safely ignored. This was causing assertion failures in
the analyzer.

This code assigned the last created CFGBlock* to the variable 'Block',
which is a scratch variable which is null'ed out after a block is
completed. By assigning the last created block to 'Block', we start
editing a completed block, inserting CFGStmts that should be in
another block. This was the case with 'try'. The test case that
showed this had a while loop inside a 'try', and the logic before
the while loop was being included as part of the "condition block"
for the loop. This showed up as a bogus dead store, but could
have lots of implications.
Turns out this bug was replicated a few times within CFG.cpp, so
I went and fixed up those as well.

As part of this change, I discovered that a few of our tests were not testing
the RangeConstraintManager. Luckily all of those passed when I moved them
over to use that constraint manager.

This change was a lot bigger than I originally anticipated; among
other things it requires us storing more information in the CFG to
record what block-level expressions need to be evaluated as lvalues.
The big change is that CFGBlocks no longer contain Stmt*'s by
CFGElements. Currently CFGElements just wrap Stmt*, but they also
store a bit indicating whether the block-level expression should be
evalauted as an lvalue. DeclStmts involving the initialization of a
reference require us treating the initialization expression as an
lvalue, even though that information isn't recorded in the AST.
Conceptually this change isn't that complicated, but it required
bubbling up the data through the CFGBuilder, to GRCoreEngine, and
eventually to GRExprEngine.
The addition of CFGElement is also useful for when we want to handle
more control-flow constructs or other data we want to keep in the CFG
that isn't represented well with just a block of statements.
In GRExprEngine, this patch introduces logic for evaluating the
lvalues of references, which currently retrieves the internal "pointer
value" that the reference represents. EvalLoad does a two stage load
to catch null dereferences involving an invalid reference (although
this could possibly be caught earlier during the initialization of a
reference).
Symbols are currently symbolicated using the reference type, instead
of a pointer type, and special handling is required creating
ElementRegions that layer on SymbolicRegions (see the changes to
RegionStoreManager).
Along the way, the DeadStoresChecker also silences warnings involving
dead stores to references. This was the original change I introduced
(which I wrote test cases for) that I realized caused GRExprEngine to
crash.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
