Summary:
In some cases we normalize expressions to check some facts about them. In these
cases, trying to keep as much information as possible in the expression, such
as the fact it comes from a `sizeof()` expression, is not needed. Doing
destructive normalization allows us to replace `sizeof()` by its
statically-known value.

Summary:
This diff tries to achieve the followings: if we have the following C++ codes:
```
bool foo(int x, int y) {
return &x == &y;
}
```
We want the C++ frontend to emit Sil as if the input is written as
```
bool foo(int x, int y) {
if (&x == &y) return 1; else return 0;
}
```
This matches the behavior of our Java frontend.
The reason why we prefer an explicit branch is that it will force the backend to eagerly produce two different specs for `foo`. Without the explicit branch, for the above example the backend would produce one spec with `return = (&x == &y)` as the post condition, which is not ideal because (1) we don't want local variables to escape to the function summary, and (2) with the knowledge that no two local variables may alias each other, the backend could actually determines that `&x == &y` is always false, emitting a more precise postcondition `return = 0`. This is not possible if we do not eagerly resolve the comparison expression.

Summary:
The philosophy of the tracing mode reporting is to not report the errors in a method if reaching this error does depend on information that can be false at call site. Typically with:
void foo(Object obj, int x) {
if (x == 3) {
obj.toString();
}
}
it may be that we always call `foo` with a non-null parameter or `x != 3`.
Thechnically, the reporting code matches the pairs of the form (precondition, error) and filtering out the cases where the precondtions was not imposing constraints on the calling context, and report the other cases. So the NPE could be reported in the following case:
void bar() {
foo(null, 3);
}
However, we were missing the case where there was anyway no way to call a method in a safe way, i.e. all the preconditions were of the form: (precondition, error), for example:
void baz(boolean b) {
if (b) {
foo(null, 3);
} else {
foo(null, 3);
}
}
In that case, the summary is of the form
PRE (1): b = false
POST: NullPointerException
PRE (2): b = true
POST: NullPointerException
In which case it is legit to report `NullPointerException` in `baz`.

Summary:
This is the second of 3 stack diffs to deal with replacing the parser of types.
This diff is about changes to translate record types, as well as class types and enum
types. For class types and enum types we store the declaration pointer in the map of
types to find the type easier later.
For record declarations, we change the way we build record names.
Moreover, we don't translate typedefs anymore, because when we have a pointer to a typedef,
we can find the actual type it points to.
Summary:
each procedure has a different scope, so we can restart the fresh name generator and have more stable instructions in the cfg, that don't change when other procedures are changed
Summary:
The symbolic execution was not stopping in case an unitialized dangling pointer was
passed to a function and then dereferenced inside the callee.
What would happen is that a wrong footprint would be added to the unititialized pointer
at the end of the function call in the caller proposition.
This checks that if we do:
frame * new_footprint
checks that we do not add heap predicates to the frame into uninitialized local variables.
If we can identify the variable then we raise a danglind pointer dereference. If instead
we cannot give a good explanation we give an internal error.
The latter case should be temporary. We should find a general way to raise dangling pointer
deref instead of the internal error.
I also fixed the model of getc that was the way I found the problem.
Summary:
This adds a sentinel check every time a function carrying a sentinel attribute
is called, regardless of whether we have a definition for that function or not.
Summary:
In objC we already prefix field names with classes.
It's better to make it consistent since it'll allow
us to share more code between C++ and objC
Summary: @publicThe first argument of builtin calls in C gets translated twice, which is bad if the argument is a side-effecting expression like a function call.
Test Plan: Attached test previously reported a memory leak because the translation introduces an extra call to malloc(), now reports nothing.

Sorting the fields in structs and classes. Was needed in the backend and forgotten.
Fixes the github issue https://github.com/facebook/infer/issues/90.
Test Plan: Added a new test that shows that we now get a spec for the example from the github issue.
Summary:
@public
The clang location information is described in an incremental way: each location information is a delta with respect to the previous one in the AST. This is based on a the visit of the AST nodes which corresponds to the order in which the lines are printed with the standard clang AST dump:
clang -cc1 -ast-dump filename.c
This diff adds a preprocessing phase to the front-end so that location information is composed during a visit, and explicit location information is used instead.
In the case of include files, we report the last known location before including the file.
The current file for a function is the file where it is defined. So if a function is entirely defined in a .h file, then the location information will consistently be about the .h file. If instead a function is defined in the source file being analyzed, and some AST nodes come from macro expansion, line information will refer to the original file.
The front-end tests reveal that the location information was incorrect in a few dot files.
Test Plan: arc unit, after having fixed the wrong location in the existing .dot files
