Summary:
public To deal with ObjC nullability and give meaningful error
messages, we introduced the ObjC_NULL attribute in the symbolic execution to
mean that the object carrying the attribute is null because it was the result
of a method call from a null object. However, one cannot add attributes to null,
so we had to delay nullifying the object in order to have the attribute until we
can assign it to a program variable. However, if the temp variable was used in a condition,
we were not taking into account that its meaning is null. This diff addresses that and fixes
many FPs that we have encounter.

Summary: public
modules are better for namespacing.
How I made this diff:
1. moved list_* functions from utils.ml{,i} to iList.ml{,i}
2. shell commands:
grep '^val ' infer/src/backend/iList.mli | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | tr '\n' ' '
# gives a list of former list_ functions that IList implements, fed into the loops below:
LISTNAMES=" compare equal append combine exists filter flatten flatten_options find fold_left fold_left2 for_all for_all2 hd iter iter2 length fold_right map mem nth partition rev rev_append rev_map sort split stable_sort tl drop_first drop_last rev_with_acc remove_duplicates remove_irrelevant_duplicates merge_sorted_nodup intersect mem_assoc assoc map2 to_string"
# replace " list_*" function calls with IList.* ones
for i in $LISTNAMES; do find . -name '*.ml' -exec sed -i -e "s/ list_$i\b/ IList.$i/g" \{\} \; ; done
# replace (list_* functions with (IList.* ones
for i in $LISTNAMES; do find . -name '*.ml' -exec sed -i -e "s/(list_$i\b/(IList.$i/g" \{\} \; ; done
# ditto with [
for i in $LISTNAMES; do find . -name '*.ml' -exec sed -i -e "s/\[list_$i\b/[IList.$i/g" \{\} \; ; done
3. Then fix up the rest by hand. In particular, stuff that called Utils.list_*
explicitely, and stuff that used the "Fail" exception that has moved to
IList. (may revisit this in the future)

Summary:
`get_resource_or_undef` attribute is weird and was causing problems for me in another diff.
This diff refactors the attribute categories to make resource and undef separate.
Summary:
There's a lot of overlap between the representation of a proc desc and a spec summary. This diff moves all the data in common to the single record proc_attributes defined in Sil.
This gives a unified way of accessing most of the data carried by a procedure, whether it is contained in a proc desc or a spec. Also, it ensures that there is a single flow of information from proc desc to spec in the back-end, making sure that the information represented stays consistent.
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 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 commit is the result of
`find infer/src -name '*.ml' -or -name '*.mli' -exec ocp-indent -i \{\} \;`
and
`INFER_CHECK_COPYRIGHT=1 InferPrint`
Summary:
This attribute was used to tag arguments to variadic functions, as a way to
detect premature sentinels. The approach to detect premature sentinels has
changed making it obsolete.
