[analyzer] Fix memory space for block-captured static locals.
ClosedPublic

Authored by NoQ on Jan 20 2017, 5:22 AM.

Details

Summary

When a block that is being analyzed as top-level captures static local variables declared in a function (which itself is not being analyzed) surrounding the block, it puts such variables into the unknown memory space, similarly to the stack locals of those functions (that may have been moved to the heap by the time the block starts executing).

However, because blocks don't move such variables to the heap, but capture them by reference instead, we are quite sure that we should put those into the static memspace.

This patch fixes a false positive in MacOSXAPIChecker.

LGTM!

It would be good to get this into the clang 4.0 svn branch, too. I think Hans Wennborg is managing this. See http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/4-0-0-Release-The-branch-is-here-the-release-process-starts-td4054864.html.

Reopening due to a revert.

This time i reduce the scope of the fix to the checker, and add FIXMEs to the problems that showed up while testing it.

LGTM with some minor comments.

"namespace" --> "memory space"?

If I understand correctly, I think 'losing' is a better word here instead of 'wasting', since we're not spending a finite resource unwisely.

It would be good to add a test that trips up the reverted fix from r292800 with a null pointer false positive. This will make sure that someone who tries to address the FIXME in the same way in the future will detect it.
