Summary:
`Object.wait()` must be called on a locked monitor and it releases the
lock immediately, as far as other threads are concerned
(it also magically re-takes the lock when the monitor is `notified`).
Starvation can only occur if the UI thread is waiting
a lock that is distinct to that being waited on.
The check present was over-approximate in that it was checking that there exists a lock held by the UI thread and the thread issuing the `wait`, but did not make sure that lock was *not* the one waited on.
Amusingly, the e2e test was correct, but the reporting code wasn't.

Summary:
One standard way to schedule work is by starting a thread. We treat this by
- Treating invocations of `start` on a receiver with the `Runnable _` attribute as scheduling that runnable for parallel execution in the background (as opposed to on the UI thread).
- If `start` is used on an object of a subclass of `Thread` everything already works thanks to the `get_exp_attributes` function which will implicitly ascribe to an expression the attribute `Runnable _` if the expression points to an object with a known `run` method. This will even take care of some degree of dynamic dispatch, yay!
- If `start` is used on a `Thread` object which has been created with a constructor call provided with a `Runnable` argument, we have to appropriately model that constructor call, which is what is done in `do_call`.

Summary:
A current blind spot is when object construction stores specific executors / runnables to object fields, which are then never mutated and accessed from normal methods. IOW the attributes established in the constructor are necessary to report properly inside a normal method (assuming these attributes are not invalidated by method code).
To achieve this, first we retain a subset of the final state attributes in the summary (only those that affect instance variables, in constructor methods). Then, when we analyse a non-constructor method:
- we analyse all constructors
- remove all attributes from the attribute map whose key is not an expression of the form `this.x. ...`
- re-localise all remaining keys so that they appear as rooted in the `this` local variable of the current procedure
- join (intersect) all such attribute maps
- use the result in place of initial state as far as the attribute map is concerned for the analysis of the current procedure, which can now start.
This means we can catch idioms that use side-effectful initialisation for configuring certain object fields like executors or runnables.

This also prints the CFGs *after* pre-analysis for individual procedures

CFGs before pre-analysis in infer-out/captured/proc_cfgs_frontend.dot.
Context: I want to add a pre-analysis that needs to look at proc
attributes inter-procedurally. For this to make sense it has to happen
*after* all of capture, and before analysis.
Thus, this diff brings back the lazy running of the pre-analysis like in
D15803492, except that we still make sure to run the pre-analyses
systematically regardless of the checkers being run by running the
pre-analysis from ondemand.ml. Also we don't need to re-introduce the
"did_preanalysis" proc attribute for the same reason that the
pre-analysis is now run once and for all by ondemand.ml (instead of each
individual checker back in the days).
This has the benefit of running the pre-analysis only when needed, and
the drawback that several concurrent processes analysing the same proc
descs will duplicate work. Since pre-analyses are supposed to be very
fast I assume that neither is a big deal. If they become more expensive
then the benefit gets bigger and the drawback is just the same as with
regular analyses.

Callers' abstract memory includes a pointer that may point to multiple array blocks.
```
c -> { x, y }
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with x.elements.size }
y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }

When the callee is called with the parameter `c`, the callees memory is substituted to:
```
x.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
y.elements -> { x.elements[*] with top , y.elements[*] with top }
```
because `a.elements[*]` was substituted to `{ x.elements[*] , y.elements[*] }`
and `a.elements.size` was substituted to `top ( = x.elements.size join y.elements.size )`.
This diff tries to keep the precision in the specific case, not to join the sizes of array blocks.

y.elements -> { y.elements[*] with y.elements.size }

In some apps executors are obtained by calling standard framework methods (and not by using DI with annotations).
To treat this style, we need to
- Detect calls that return such executors (`do_executor_effect`) and tag the return result with an `Attribute` indicating that it is now an executor, plus what thread it uses.
- Use that information when calling `execute`, to resolve the executor, if any, and its thread (in `do_work_scheduling` via `AttributeDomain.get_executor_constraint`).
- All this requires a new domain component, mapping variables to attributes. This extends the component previously used for remembering whether a variable is the result of a check on whether we run on the UI thread.
At the same time, I un-nested some functions from the transfer function for readability.

This introduces a recursive dependency: the class initializer calls `Color.values` and the function

`values` is called inside the class initializer.

Summary:
Previously, we considered a function which modifies its parameters to be impure even though it might not be modifying the underlying value. This resulted in FPs like the following program in Java:
```
void fresh_pure(int[] a) {
a = new int[1];
}
```
Similarly, in C++, we considered the following program as impure because it was writing to `s`:
```
Simple* reassign_pure(Simple* s) {
s = new Simple{2};
return s;
}
```
This diff fixes that issue by starting the check for address equivalnce in pre-post not directly from the addresses of the stack variables, but from the addresses pointed to by these stack variables. That means, we only consider things to be impure if the actual values pointed by the parameters change.

Summary:
This is the first take on strict mode semantics.
The main invariant of strict mode is the following:
If the function passes `NullsafeStrict` check and its return value is
NOT annotated as Nullable, then the function does not indeed return
nulls, subject to unsoundness issues (which should either be fixed, or
should rarely happen in practice).
This invariant helps the caller in two ways:
1. Dangerous usages of non strict functions are visible, so the caller is enforced to check them (via assertions or conditions), or strictify them.
2. When the function is strict, the caller does not need to worry about
being defensive.
Biggest known issues so far:
1. Condition redundant and over-annotated warnings don't fully
respect strict mode, and this leads to stupid false positives. (There is
so much more stupid false positives in condition redundant anyway, so
not particularly a big deal for now).
2. Error reporting is not specific to mode. (E.g. we don't distinct real nullables and non-trusted non-nulls, which can be misleading). To be
improved as a follow up.

- Track code paths that are explicitly on UI thread (via annotations, or assertions).
- Maintain UI-thread-ness through the call stack (if a callee is on UI thread then the
trace any call site must be on the UI thread too).
- If we are not on the UI thread we assume we are on a background thread.
- Traces with "UI-thread" status cannot interleave but all other combinations can.
- We do not track other annotations (eg WorkerThread or AnyThread) as they can be
erroneously applied -- other checkers should catch those errors (annotation reachability).
- Top is AnyThread, and is used as the initial state for analysis.
Interestingly, by choosing the right strategy for choosing initial state and applying callee summaries gets rid of some false negatives in the tests even though we have not introduced any path sensitivity yet.

There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.

Java method annotations are ambiguous in that there is no difference between

The disambiguation is done entirely based on the meaning of the annotation.
Here, while `UiThread`/`MainThread` are genuine method/class annotations
and not return annotations, the reverse is true for `ForUiThread`/`ForNonUiThread`.
This means that these latter annotations do not determine the thread status of

This diff adopts an array length evaluation function that is conservative. It is useful when our
domain cannot express length result precisely.
For example, suppose there is an array pointer `arr_locs` that may point to two arrays `a` and `b`,
and their lengths are `a.length` and `b.length` (symbols), respectively. Using the usual
evaluation, our current domain cannot express `a.length join b.length` (join of two symbolic
values), so it returns top.
In this case, we can use the conservative function intead. It evaluates the length as `[0,
a.length.ub + b.length.ub]`, since we know every array length is positive. The result is not
precise, but better than top.

Problem: There are two phases for finding a fixpoint, widening and narrowing. First, it finds a fixpoint with widening, in function level. After that, it finds a fixpoint with narrowing. A problem is that sometimes an overly-approximated, imprecise, values by widening are flowed to the following loops. They are hard to narrow in the narrowing phase because there is a cycle preventing it.
To mitigate the problem, it tries to do narrowing, in loop level, right after it found a fixpoint of a loop. Thus, it narrows before the widened values are flowed to the following loops. In order to guarantee the termination of the analysis, this eager narrowing is applied only to the outermost loops.

Summary:
The old domain keeps two sets:
- `events` are things (including lock acquisitions) which eventually happen during the execution of a procedure.
- `order` are pairs of `(lock, event)` such that there is a trace through the procedure which at some point acquires `lock` and before releasing it performs `event`.
A deadlock would be reported if for two procedures, `(lock1,lock2)` is in `order` of procedure 1 and `(lock2,lock1)` is in `order` of procedure 2. This condition/domain allowed for the false positive fixed in the tests, as well as was unwieldy, because it required translating between the two sets.
The new domain has only one set of "critical pairs" `(locks, event)` such that there is a trace where `event` occurs, and *right before it occurs* the locks held are exactly `locks` (no over/under approximation). This allows keeping all information in one set, simplifies the procedure call handling and eliminates the known false positive.

This continues work for eliminating Annot.Item.t from Nullsafe low-level

The introduced function `from_nullsafe_type` is called when we infer
initial type of the equation based on the function or field formal signature.
Before that, we did it via reading the annotation directly, which
complicates the logic and making introducing Unknown nullability tricky.
## Clarifying the semantics of PropagatesNullable
This diff also clarifies (and changes) the behavior of PropagatesNullable params.
Previously, if the return value of a function that has PropagatesNullable params was
annotated as Nullable, nullsafe was effectively ignoring PropagatesNullable effect.
This is especially bad because one can add Nullable annotation based on the logic "if the function can return `null`, it should be annotated with Nullable`.
In the new design, there is no possibility for such a misuse: the code that
applies the rule "any param is PropagatesNullable hence the return
value is nullable even if not explicitly annotated" lives in NullsafeType.ml, so
this will be automatically taken into account.
Meaning that now we implicitly deduce Nullable annotation for the return value, and providing it explicitly as an alternative that does not change the effect.
In the future, we might consider annotating the return value with `Nullable` explicit.

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).

- 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.
