Summary:
When encountering a constant, pulse creates an abstract value (a
variable) to represent it, and remembers that it's equal to it. The
problem is that pulse doesn't yet know how to deal with the fact that
some variables are going to be equal to each other.
This hacks around this issue in the case of constants, within the same
procedure, by remembering which constants have been assigned to which
place-holder variables, and serving those variables again when the same
constant is translated again.
Limitation: this doesn't work across procedure calls as the "constant
maps" are not saved in summaries.
Something to look out for: we don't want to make `if (p == NULL)` create
a path where `p` is invalid (we only make null invalid when we see an
assignment from 0, i.e. `p = NULL;`).

Summary:
This diff revises how to handle the unknown location in inferbo in two ways:
* stop appending field to the `Unknown` location, e.g. `Unknown.x.a` is evaluated to `Unknown`
* redesign the abstract of multiple locations, like `Bottom` < `Unknown` < `Known` locations
I am doing them in one diff since applying only one of them showed bad results.
Background: `Unknown` was adopted for abstracting all unknown concrete locations, so we could avoid missing semantics of assignments to unknown locations. We tried to keep soundness. However, it brought some other problems related to precision and performance.
1. Sometimes especially when Inferbo failed to reason precise pointer values, `Unknown` may point to many other abstract locations.
2. At that time, value assignments to `*Unknown` makes the situation worse: many abstract locations are updated with imprecise values.
This problem harmed not only its precision, but also its performance since it introduced more location entries in the abstract memory.

Summary:
As soon as pulse detects an error, it completely stops the analysis and loses the state where the error occurred. This makes it difficult to debug and understand the state the program failed. Moreover, other analyses that might build on pulse (e.g. impurity), cannot access the error state.
This diff aims to restore and display the state at the time of the error in `PulseExecutionState` along with the diagnostic by extending it as follows:
```
type exec_state =
| represents the state at the program point that caused an error *)
```
As a result, since we don't immediately stop the analysis as soon as we find an error, we detect both errors in conditional branches simultaneously (see test result changes for examples).
NOTE: We need to extend `PulseOperations.access_result` to keep track of the failed state as follows:
```
type 'a access_result = ('a, Diagnostic.t * t [denoting the exit state] ) result
```

Summary:
This diff lifts the `PulseAbductiveDomain.t` in `PulseExecutionState` by tracking whether the program continues the analysis normally or exits unusually (e.g. by calling `exit` or `throw`):
```
type exec_state =
| ContinueProgram of PulseAbductiveDomain.t (** represents the state at the program point *)
| ExitProgram of PulseAbductiveDomain.t
(** represents the state originating at exit/divergence. *)
```
Now, Pulse's actual domain is tracked by `PulseExecutionState` and as soon as we try to analyze an instruction at `ExitProgram`, we simply return its state.
The aim is to recover the state at the time of the exit, rather than simply ignoring them (i.e. returning empty disjuncts). This allows us to get rid of some FNs that we were not able to detect before. Moreover, it also allows the impurity analysis to be more precise since we will know how the state changed up to exit.
TODO:
- Impurity analysis needs to be improved to consider functions that simply exit as impure.
- The next goal is to handle error state similarly so that when pulse finds an error, we recover the state at the error location (and potentially continue to analyze?).
Disclaimer: currently, we handle throw statements like exit (as was the case before). However, this is not correct. Ideally, control flow from throw nodes follows catch nodes rather than exiting the program entirely.

As exemplified by added tests, pulse computes an empty summary (with 0 disjuncts) whenever it discovers a contradiction which might be caused by:
- discovering aliasing in memory
- widening limited number of times in loops and concluding that loop exit conditions are never taken

```

POST:

Summary:
Previously, at each function call, we added a `WrittenTo` attribute for applying the address of the actuals. However, this results in mistakenly considering each function application that inspects its argument as impure. Instead, we should only propagate `WrittenTo` if the actuals have already `WrittenTo` attributes.
For instance, for the following functions
```
public static boolean is_null(Byte a) {
return a == null;
}
public static boolean call_is_null(Byte a) {
return is_null(a);
}
```
We used to get the following pulse summary for `call_is_null` (showing only one of the disjuncts):
```
#0: PRE:
{ roots={ &a=v1 };
mem ={ v1 -> { * -> v2 } };
attrs={ v1 -> { MustBeValid },
v2 -> { Arith =null, BoItv ([max(0, v2), min(0, v2)]) } };}
POST:
{ roots={ &a=v1, &return=v8 };
mem ={ v1 -> { * -> v2 }, v8 -> { * -> v4 } };
attrs={ v2 -> { Arith =null,
BoItv ([max(0, v2), min(0, v2)]),
WrittenTo-----------WRONG },
v4 -> { Arith =1,
BoItv (1),
Invalid ConstantDereference(is the constant 1),
WrittenTo-----------WRONG },
v8 -> { WrittenTo } };}
SKIPPED_CALLS: { }
```
where we mistakenly recorded a `WrittenTo` for `v2` (what `a` points to). As a result, we considered `call_is_null` as impure :( This diff fixes that since the callee `is_null` doesn't have any `WrittenTo` attributes for its parameter `a`. So, we don't propagate `WrittenTo` and get the following summary
```
#0: PRE:
{ roots={ &a=v1 };
mem ={ v1 -> { * -> v2 } };
attrs={ v1 -> { MustBeValid },

To emulate the `ThreadSafe` contract in C++/ObjC, reporting was gated behind a check that ensured a C++/ObjC class has a `std::mutex` member (plus other filters). This is reasonable, but it has some drawbacks
- other locks may be used, and therefore must be added to the member check;
- locking mechanisms that use the object itself as a monitor cannot be modelled (`synchronized` in ObjC)
RacerD already has `ThreadsDomain` which models our guess on whether a method is expected to run in a concurrent context, and which in C++/ObjC boils down to whether the method non-transitively acquires a lock. This should be a good enough indicator that the class should be checked regardless of whether the locks are member fields. This diff gates the C++/ObjC check on that abstract property.

- It has 5 different string/printing functions and most of them do radically different things in Java and in Clang.
- There is no type safety: creating a Clang field and calling a Java function on it will lead to a crash (`rindex_exn` etc, there are usually no dots in Clang fields).
- It uses a single string for Java fields, containing the package, the class and the field, e.g., `java.lang.Object.field`. This is wasteful, because
- there is no sharing of strings for packages/classes, and,
- string operations need to be performed every time we need the field or the class or the package alone.
This diff preserves the behaviour of the module's interface, so the API problems remain.
However, by using a saner representation for Java fields we can get small performance and large memory gains (the type environment in Java is much smaller, about 30-40%).
In addition, many functions on clang fields would previously do string manipulations (look for `.` and split on it) before returning the final field unchanged -- now they use the type of the field for that.

descs will duplicate work. Since pre-analyses are supposed to be very

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:
bigmacro_bender
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.

Summary:
When we make the decision to go into a branch "v = N" where some
abstract value is compared to a constant, remember the corresponding
equality. This allows to prune simple infeasible paths
intra-procedurally.
Further work is needed to make this useful interprocedurally, for
instance either or both of these ideas could be explored:
- abduce v=N in the precondition and do not apply summaries when the
equalities in the pre are not satisfied
- prune post-conditions that lead to unsat states where a value has to
be equal to several different constants

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:
Change the logic of the annotation reachability checker in the following
ways:
1. Sanitizers take priority over sinks, i.e. a procedure that is both a
sink and a sanitizer is not a sink. This changes the existing tests
that seemed to assume the opposite. However I think that way is more
useful and goes better with the fact that sanitizers are specified as
"overrides".
2. When applying a summary, check again that we are not in a sanitizer
for the corresponding sink.
Without (2) this there was a subtle bug when several rules were
specified. For example, if `sink_wrapper()` wraps `sink()` for a rule
`R` then the summary of `sink_wrapper()` will be: `R-sink : call to sink()`.
Then, suppose `sanitizer()` calls `sink_wrapper()` and `sanitizer()` is
a sanitizer for `R` but not for another rule `R'`. The previous code
would add the call to `sink()` to the summary of `sanitizer()` because
it's not a sanitizer for `R'`, even though `sink()` is not a sink for
`R'`!
The current code will re-apply the rules correctly so that sinks are
matched only against the right sanitizers.

now libc++ is better and iostreams are implemented in a way that SIOF
