Summary

This patch adds a simpe lattice used to collect source loctions. An intended application is to track errors found in code during an analysis.

Remove the last _ for consistency with the other headers.

Add an empty line after this member to separate it from the next?

Call this OS? It seems to be common.

I'm not sure what I would test, since it (intentionally) has no guaranteed API. Do you have something particular in mind? I generally avoid testing things like DebugString because we don't want users to rely on them.

Is there anything special about SourceLocations? I wonder whether we just want a templated PowerSet lattice and instantiate it with SourceLocations.

Not really. Just that we use this lattice in a bunch of analyses for "unsafe access", like std::optional and absl::Statusor and (eventually) pointers. So, it seems generally useful as is. I agree that we should have core powerset lattice, its just that doing so will require a little more design effort (similar to the map lattice I added). Happy to add that as a FIXME (which we plan to start tacking with github issues soon!), if that sounds good to you.

Sounds good, thanks!

Fair point. Let's keep it as is.
