Summary:
This proceed the work of getting rid of Annot.Item.t.
This diff:
- Moves "check assignment rule" to recently supported NullsafeRules
- Implements their own "check overannotated" (defers consolidating this
check into NullsafeRule for the future diffs).
Note that we don't need PropagatesNullable logic anymore because it is
already ported to NullsafeType (return value will be marked as Nullable
in NullsafeType)!
implicit_nullable (a.k.a. Void types) will require a follow up diff to
model.

Summary:
In nutshell, Nullsafe is driven by relatively simple set of rules.
It is currently not well reflected in code: we are duplicating the same logic in different places, which is:
- error prone (we need to adjust ensure all places are addressed if a new feature is introduced)
- complicates understanding of nullsafe
Consolidating checks will simplify introducing Unknown Nullability and
strict/partial check modes.
## this diff
This diff does it for one particular check.
See follow up diffs re that proceed consolidation.
## future diffs
Future diffs will:
- consolidate other checks that use 'assignment rule'
- introduce other rules, most notably 'dereference rule' and
'inheritance rule'

Summary:
This continues work for eliminating Annot.Item.t from Nullsafe low-level
code.
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:
In the cost checker, the range of selected control variables are used to estimate the number of loop iteration. However, sometimes the ranges of control variables are not related to how many times the loop iteration. This diff strengthens the condition for them as:
1. integers from `size` models
2. integers constructed from `+` or `-`
3. integers constructed from `*`
For the last one, the loop iteration is likely to be log scale of the range of the control variable:
```
while (i < c) {
i *= 2;
}
```
We will address this in the future.

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.

`ModeledRange` represents how many times the interval value can be updated by modeled functions. This
domain is to support the case where there are mismatches between value of a control variable and
actual number of loop iterations. For example,
```
while((c = file_channel.read(buf)) != -1) { ... }
```
the loop will iterates as the file size, but the control variable `c` does not have that value. In
these cases, it assigns a symbolic value of the file size to the modeled range of `c`, then which
is used when calculating the overall cost.

- Instead of merging one target DB into the main DB at a time, merge all target DBs into an in-memory DB (thus, no writing) and then dump it into the main DB at the end. This makes merging faster.
- When using the sqlite write daemon, there is no reason to drive the merge process from the master, sending each individual target to merge down the socket and doing one DB merge at a time. Here we move all the DB merging logic in the daemon, and expose a single function that does it all.
- Refactor some common functionality (notably the `iter_infer_deps` function is now in `Utils`) and remove dead files.
This can be also done using a temporary DB (which is not limited to memory) but this showed worse perf in tests than the in-memory solution as well as the current state of things (! possibly Sqlite-version related?).

Summary:
This is a central abstraction for coming future unknown nullability support.
# Context
Annot.ml is a low-level module:
- it contains lists of raw (string) annotations
- no algebraic datatypes for annotations
- it mixes annotations that Nullsafe should be aware of with all sorts of other annotations
- some annotations make sense for return values, some make sense for params, and some make sense for methods.
But, most importantly, it does not contain information about source of an annotation, making it hard to distinct things like "Nonnull as default" vs "Nonnull as explicitly annotated" vs "Nonnull as modelled". Ditto for nullable.
Because of this, it is tricky to introduce unknown nullability in an elegant way.
Let's get rid of using Annot.Item.t in nullsafe code in the following way:
- Move nullability information associated with the Java type to a dedicated algebraic DT.
- Split other annotations that are important for nullsafe into param flags, ret value flags, and method flags, and introduce corresponding datatypes.
# This diff
This diff introduces NullsafeType and adds this to AnnotatedSignature.
It is not used yet, hence the diff is a no-op.
In future diffs, we are going to (see also TODOs in the code):
- actually use this information instead of accessing Annot.item
- add more information to AnnotatedSignature
- remove Annot.item from AnnnotatedSignature
- when this is done, introduce notion of unknown nullability.

Summary:
CONDITION_REDUNDANT_NONNULL was an attempt to reduce number of false
positives for condition redundant. (It is the most popular check as of
now).
The root case for most of false positives is that a lot of code is
simply not annotated (but should have been), so blaming developers for defense programming is
not actionable.
In attempt to solve the problem, a special issue type (for case when the
code is explicitly annotated with Nonnull) was introduced.
In follow up diffs we are going to introduce a generic way of doing the
same, not limited to this particular check only.
Namely, we will introduce notion of unknown nullability, so it will be
possible to distinguish not annotated yet (hence no warnings) and already
annotated (hence warnings) parts of code.
This piece of logic is incompatible with the aforementioned work, hence
we need to remove it.

Summary:
In D17156724, we forked nullsafe tests, which was a strategy to
introduce nullsafe-gradual mode back then.
The reason was "gradual" mode is a pretty big change in a way Infer
handles annotations, so we wanted to tests both scenarios: gradual and
non-gradual mode.
The plan was to deprecate "non-gradual" tests at some point, hence we
decided to go with duplication.
Now we have a better approach to ensure "gradual" features are well
covered. The approach is the following.
1. [Mostly finished] Improve existings tests so that they cover negative and positive
cases. With this, we can safely add something like
--non-annotated-default UNKNOWN_NULLABILITY to the test config and be sure tests still make
sense (i.e. don't pass simply because annotations don't make sense
anymore)
2. [In progress]. Refactor nullsafe code so that instead of using of Annot.ml everywhere we use a special abstraction telling if the class is annotated with Nullable, Nonnull, or not annotated. With this change, we essenstially have a single place we need to test, which removes the need to have 2 pair of tests for each feature.
3. [To be done]. Introduce Uknown nullability and add small number of tests specifically
for that feature (together with existing tests).
NOTE: I did not rename `nullsafe-default` back to `nullsafe` to not
pollute blame without need.
