Iterators are an abstraction of pointers and in some data structures iterators may be implemented by pointers. This patch adds support for iterators implemented as pointers in all the iterator checkers (including iterator modeling).

256 | This is the problematic point which is not working. I left the comments intentionally in the code. The problem is that in postStmt we are after the operation. Thus the value of the operand (SubExpr) is not i anymore, but the former value of i (a pointer to a symbolic region initially). Instead, the result is i in case of prefix operators, but also the former value in case of postfix operators. This is correct, of course, because here, after the call the value of i was changed, thus it is not equal to the parameter. However, we need the region of i here and/or the new value bound to it (e.g. the pointer to an element region which is usually the result of a ++ or -- on a pointer to a symbolic region). How to reach that? Of course, in preStmt the operand is i as it should be. The same is true for binary operators += and -=. |

256 | Of course, I know it is all wrong to increment the former value. This is also not the goal, probably I cannot reuse handleIncrement() and the like here. The question is how to get the region of the variable or even better the new region (e.g. the pointer to element region) bound to it? In the prefix case I have the variable, but is there a generic way to get the region bound to it? By generic I mean that I hope that I do not have to branch on all possible lvalue expressions. |

256 | Wait! I know the solution! I will try it tomorrow. |

625 | Same as in the other patch. I think variable name TempState is too generic, should be AdvancedState or something more descriptive. | |

1880 | Just being annoying here, but I saw you use // expected (with a space between the slash and expected) consistently elsewhere. Could you please also use that here in these tests as well? Being uniform with those helps spot other errors and typos IMHO. |
This (or a follow-up) broke tests on windows: http://45.33.8.238/win/18877/step_7.txt
Please take a look and revert for now if it takes a while to fix.
It was this one: D82385. I reverted that test function so one of the fixes now remains untested.
