Summary:
In order to test cost analysis results, currently we rely on having an arbitrary cost threshold (200) and report issues that exceed this cost. For instance, a cost of 201 is considered expensive and reported as `EXPENSIVE_EXECUTION_TIME` issue in cost tests.
This means, if we change the cost analysis in a slight way that results in some constant cost increase under 200, we wouldn't able to detect it. I find this unsatisfactory and somewhat hacky.
This diff adds the ability to write the result of `costs-report.json` into a separate `cost-issues.exp` and then compare the actual costs (not only than relying on this arbitrary threshold reporting mechanism).

Summary:
Because in the real semantics CFRelease can be used more than once, and also the variables can be used after CFRelease in general, modelling this as `free` causes many `USE_AFTER_FREE` errors. Now we change the model to not add the `Invalid CFree` attribute, but to just remove the `Allocated` attribute. So we can model memory leaks in the simple case of `Create` and not `CFRelease` before going out of scope, but we avoid the `USE_AFTER_FREE`.
Since the model for CFRelease now diverges from free, changed the command line option for modelling to `pulse-model-release-pattern`.

Summary:
This diff is doing three things:
1. Finishes work paved in D20115024, and applies it to nullsafe. In that diff, we hardened API for
file level analysis. Here we use this API in nullsafe, so now we can
analyze things on file-level, not only in proc-level like it was before!
2. Introduces a class-level analysis. For Nullsafe purposes, file is not
an interesting granularity, but we want to analyze a lot of things on
file level. Interesting part here is anonymous classes and how we link
them to their corresponding user-defined classes.
3. Introduces a first (yet to be improved) implementation of class-level
analysis. Namely it is "meta-issues" that tell what is going with class
on high level. For now these are two primitive issues, and we will
refine them in follow up diffs. They are disabled by default.
Follow ups include:
1. Refining semantics of meta-issues.
2. Adding other issues that we could not analyze before or analyzed not
user friendly. Most importantly, we will use it to improve reporting for
FIELD NOT INITIALIZED, which is not very user friendly exactly because
of lack of class-level aggregation.

Instead of various `Config` flags corresponding to the previous CLI that
are allowed in any combination of `flavors`,
`buck_compilation_database`, `genrule_master_mode`, `Config` now exposes
a single `buck_mode` datatype. This allows, eg, `flavors` to override

The documentation and uses of filtering disagree. One typical usage is deduplication.
Split that where obvious, add comments where not obvious, and leave alone when obviously unrelated to deduplication.

Summary:
Introduce a new experimental checker (`--impurity`) that detects
impurity information, tracking which parameters and global variables
of a function are modified. The checker relies on Pulse to detect how
the state changes: it traverses the pre and post pairs starting from
the parameter/global variable and finds where the pre and post heaps
diverge. At diversion points, we expect to see WrittenTo/Invalid attributes
containing a trace of how the address was modified. We use these to
construct the trace of impurity.
This checker is a complement to the purity checker that exists mainly
for Java (and used for cost and loop-hoisting analyses). The aim of
this new experimental checker is to rely on Pulse's precise
memory treatment and come up with a more precise im(purity)
analysis. To distinguish the two checkers, we introduce a new issue
type `IMPURE_FUNCTION` that reports when a function is impure, rather
than when it is pure (as in the purity checker).
TODO:
- improve the analysis to rely on impurity information of external
library calls. Currently, all library calls are assumed to be nops,
hence pure.
- de-entangle Pulse reporting from analysis.

Summary:
Sqlite versions set their own default page and cache size. Old versions use crazy-non-optimal settings.
Allow setting both from command line and set up reasonable defaults. See, e.g.,
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance/Avoid_SQLite_In_Your_Next_Firefox_Feature
for page size notes.
The defaults will cost a maximum of 64Mb in cache per Infer process. These improve merging times significantly.

This check was an incomplete attempt to make nullsafe check nutritious
annotations for fields that get modified.
This was never fully productionized, and this check is turned off by
default.
In near future, we don't anticipate supporting this feature, so let's
remove it to simplify the code.

Summary: Use_after_free was used both for biabduction and pulse, and the biabduction version is blacklisted by default. As a result, the Pulse version was also disabled unintentionally. This changes the name of the old use_after_free so that now we can get use_after_free bugs whenever pulse is enabled.

Summary:
`Present` annotation was an experiment made many years ago that never
got into real usage. The idea was to annotate Optional<> types with
Present, which means that it is safe to call get().
We don't plan to support `Present` annotation for optional types in the
near future.
Support of `Present` annotation requires extra levels of abstraction
that make the changing the behavior and introducing new features harder.
A lot of checks for nullability are written in generic way so they also
check for presense.
Getting rid of that will allow us to simplify our
work for introducing new semantics for nullsafe.

Summary:
I found it very confusing that running infer with --debug makes the
report to be different.
Intuitively, I expect (and I think majority of users would expect) that
`--debug` makes things more verbose (and potentially more slow / consuming
more memory and disk space), but does not change anything apart from it.
One pro of preserving existing behavior, pointed by jvillard:
- Suppose some check is experimental or disabled in the config. The
users expect the issue to be found, but it does not show up. They run
`infer --debug` to understand the behavior, and suddenly the issue shows
up.
I, hovewer, find this pro not important enough and potentially confusing
the users even more.
(If they want to investigate seriously, they can always use
--no-filtering, and there are a lot of cases when the issue does not
show up for others, much hard to undertand reasons, than the fact that
it is disabled).

Summary:
It's not being worked on and is not in a state where it works.
It would probably better to write this as a script of some kind or else
resurrect this subcommand in a form where it behaves more like a script,
ie fork/execs infer analyses instead of having them be function calls
(but then it might as well *be* a script as it would likely be more
flexible).
In any case...

Summary:
These have proved to be too fragile to maintain as they would often break
compilation of user code. They have been off by default for more than a year
now (D7350715).
Removing the include models shows a more accurate picture of what infer results
look like in production. As such, lots of tests have changed, mostly
biabduction but also in inferbo. SIOF was using include-based models too but
now libc++ is better and iostreams are implemented in a way that SIOF
understands (instead of being magical creatures) so nothing changed there.

Summary:
- make most behaviours independent of the java version so that either works fine without user intervention
- modify regexp used to parse `javac` output to work for all versions
- no need to be sure we are in Java 11 to match java 11-only method name in quandary
- for the rest, provide a command-line flag to specify the java version manually in case it differs from the version that infer was built against
- this only affects the Maven integration for now
To do all that, also change the configure script to record the version of java instead of just a boolean for whether it's >= 10.

Summary:
The default values of config options can sometimes depend on build-time
configuration values. This makes checking that the manuals "remain the same"
trickier as the manuals can be different depending on the platform. This
removes *all* default values from the checked-in manuals. We could be more
fine-grained and scrub only the values that are susceptible to change but for
now this is probably good enough.
This is done by implementing new options `--help-scrubbed` and
`--help-scrubbed-full` and using these in our tests instead of `--help` and
`--help-full` (which remain unaffected).
Also don't wrap the default values in `$(i,...)` anymore because the defaults
can trigger line breaks and then the man page is ill-formatted because that
format is stupid.

Summary:
- Add allocation costs to `costs-report.json` and enable diffing over allocation costs.
- Also, let's be more consistent and modular in naming our cost issues.
- introduce a generic issue type `X_TIME_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE` where `X` can be one of the cost kinds. If the function is on the cold start, issue can have the `COLD_START` suffix. Similarly for infinite/zero/expensive calls.
- Change `PERFORMANCE_VARIATION` -> `EXECUTION_TIME_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE`
- Add new issue type for `ALLOCATION_COMPLEXITY_INCREASE_COLD_START` which will be enabled by default
- Refactor cost issues to be more modular and succinct. This also makes addition of a new cost kind very easy by adding the kind into the `enabled_cost_kinds` list in `CostKind.ml`

Summary:
This is a simple checker that identifies inefficient uses of `keySet` iterator where (not only the key but also) the value is accessed via `get(key)`. It is more efficient to use `entrySet` iterator which already returns both key-value pairs. This optimization would get rid of many extra lookups which can be expensive.
We simply traverse the CFG starting from the loop head upwards and pick up the map that is iterated over. Then, we check in the loop nodes if there is a call to `get(...)` over this map. If, so we report.
