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.
We represent copies of structs by LazyCompoundVals, that is basically a
snapshot of the Store and Region that your copy would refer to.
This snapshot is actually not taken for empty structs (structs that have
no non-static data members), because the users won't be able to access
any fields anyways, so why bother.
However, when it comes to taint propagation, it would be nice if
instances of empty structs would behave similar to non-empty structs.
For this, we need an identity for which taint can bind, so Unknown -
that was used in the past wouldn't work.
Consequently, copying the value of an empty struct should behave the
same way as a non-empty struct, thus be represented by a
LazyCompoundVal.
Split from #114835
We now properly bind return value of the trivial copy constructor
and assignments of the empty objects. Such operations do not
perform any loads from the source, however they preserve identity
of the assigned object:
```
Empty e;
auto& x = (e = Empty());
clang_analyzer_dump(x); // &e, was Unknown
```
