Summary:
The addresses of global variables do not need initialisation to exist and be valid as they are part of the code or data segment of the program. This means that taking the address of a global is not in itself a danger for SIOF. However, dereferencing such an address would be. In order to avoid false positives but avoid being too unsound, only ignore them when the address is taken only to set another global. The general case would require a more complicated abstract domain.

Summary:
This confuses the SIOF checker and causes false positives. This dummy deref is
generated for constructors of classes that are modeled as being pointer types
instead of the actual class in infer, typically for smart pointers. I do not
understand how this works.
The biabduction also analyses this code, so might now get confused itself.

Summary:
Inject a marker using a global variable in <iostream>, and whitelist it so that
the frontend translates it.
Use the marker in the SIOF checker to tell whether a file includes <iostream>.
If so, start the analysis of its methods assuming that the standard streams are
initialised.

Summary:
The previous domain for SIOF was duplicating some work with the generic Trace
domain, and basically was a bit confused and confusing. A sink was a set of
global accesses, and a state contains a set of sinks. Then the checker has to
needlessly jump through hoops to normalize this set of sets of accesses into a
set of accesses.
The new domain has one sink = one access, as suggested by sblackshear. This simplifies
a few things, and makes the dedup logic much easier: just grab the first report
of the list of reports for a function.
We only report on the fake procedures generated to initialise a global, and the
filtering means that we keep only one report per global.

Summary:
As an interprocedural checker, SIOF should not run unless explicitly required.
Make it a new type of analyzer like other similar checkers.
