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.
Summary:
@public
This adds basic support for function attributes in Sil, and for translating
attributes from the clang frontend to these new Sil attributes. For now only
the sentinel attribute is translated.
Note that attributes normally have parameters, but they are currently missing
from the clang plugin.
Test Plan:
Add
(match Sil.get_sentinel_func_attribute_value (Cfg.Procdesc.get_attributes callee_pdesc).Sil.func_attributes with
| Some _ -> L.out "found sentinel attribute!\n"
| _ -> ());
between lines 947 and 948 of symbExec.ml, then analyze a file containing:
int add_all_ints(int a, ...) __attribute__ ((sentinel));
int foo(void) { return add_all_ints(1, 2, 3, (void *)0); }
then `grep 'found sentinel' infer-out/log/analyzer_out`
-> the sentinel attribute is correctly passed from the frontend to the backend.
