Summary:
Creating a persistent reference to an Activity leads to a nasty form of memory leaks (see http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/01/avoiding-memory-leaks.html, https://corner.squareup.com/2015/05/leak-canary.html). There are many ways to create a bad persistent reference to an Activity, but the most obvious one is via a static field.
This diff implements a very simple form of Activity leak checking by inspecting postconditions to see if a subtype of Activity is reachable from a static field (and it reports an error if so). This is a very simple and limited form of leak checking that does not understand the Android lifecycle at all. In particular, if one creates a persistent reference to an Activity and then nulls it out in `onDestroy` (a reasonably common pattern), this approach will wrongly report a bug.
Summary:
The methods in objc can have the same name in the same class, but one be instance and the other class,
so that we need to take the instance flag into account when defining unique names for ObjC methods.
Summary:
The symbolic execution was not stopping in case an unitialized dangling pointer was
passed to a function and then dereferenced inside the callee.
What would happen is that a wrong footprint would be added to the unititialized pointer
at the end of the function call in the caller proposition.
This checks that if we do:
frame * new_footprint
checks that we do not add heap predicates to the frame into uninitialized local variables.
If we can identify the variable then we raise a danglind pointer dereference. If instead
we cannot give a good explanation we give an internal error.
The latter case should be temporary. We should find a general way to raise dangling pointer
deref instead of the internal error.
I also fixed the model of getc that was the way I found the problem.
Summary:
This adds a sentinel check every time a function carrying a sentinel attribute
is called, regardless of whether we have a definition for that function or not.
Summary:
Treat `arrayWithObjects` as a special case of a sentinel attribute check. This
will make it easier to extend to other variadic functions that use a sentinel
attribute.
This also removes the need for the `Sil.Avariadic_function_argument` attribute,
which will be removed in a subsequent diff.
Summary:
This reverts commit 306f5b71c24042c89f71848898402cbc9269c543.
Turns out that developers think that this bugs should be fixed. So leaving it in for now until I gather more information.
Summary:
@public
There are many FPs of the form init method that contains
if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) {
...
}
return self;
then an object being initialised with that constructor and added to an array or dictionary.
There we flag NPE and very likely that won't be a bug. So I'm removing the option for self
to be nil in the constructor, which should solve the problem.
Test Plan: Changed the relevant test.
Summary:
@public
Using InferBuiltins.assume previously caused an assertion failure in the analyzer. Fixed this, and fixed the implementation of the assume builtin to block when the assumed condition cannot hold.
Test Plan: Added several new tests.
Summary:
@public
Sorting the fields in structs and classes. Was needed in the backend and forgotten.
Fixes the github issue https://github.com/facebook/infer/issues/90.
Test Plan: Added a new test that shows that we now get a spec for the example from the github issue.
Summary:
@public
The models for Java no longer require to keep the original fields since we now make the union of the fields from the models and the fields from the code to analyze.
Test Plan: Infer CI. No functional change intended.
