Summary:
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.

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:
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.

The ownership checker is starting to give wrong answers due to changes in the

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.

Summary:
New analysis in foetal form to detect invalid use of C++ objects after their
lifetime has ended. For now it has:
- A domain consisting of a graph of abstract locations representing the heap, a map from program variables to abstract locations representing the stack, and a set of locations known to be invalid (their lifetime has ended)
- The heap graph is unfolded lazily when we resolve accesses to the heap down to an abstract location. When we traverse a memory location we check that it's not known to be invalid.
- A simple transfer function reads and updates the stack and heap in a rudimentary way for now
- C++ `delete` is modeled as adding the location that its argument resolves to to the set of invalid locations
- Also, the domain has a really crappy join and widening for now (see comments in the code)
With this we already pass most of the "use after delete" tests from the
Ownership checker. The ones we don't pass are only because we are missing
models.
