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.
Summary:
the name of the return variable of a procedure only depends on the name of that procedure. This simplifies the need for the procedure description in a couple of places
Summary:
@public
This adds basic support for function attributes in Sil, and for translating
attributes from the clang frontend to these new Sil attributes. For now only
the sentinel attribute is translated.
Note that attributes normally have parameters, but they are currently missing
from the clang plugin.
Test Plan:
Add
(match Sil.get_sentinel_func_attribute_value (Cfg.Procdesc.get_attributes callee_pdesc).Sil.func_attributes with
| Some _ -> L.out "found sentinel attribute!\n"
| _ -> ());
between lines 947 and 948 of symbExec.ml, then analyze a file containing:
int add_all_ints(int a, ...) __attribute__ ((sentinel));
int foo(void) { return add_all_ints(1, 2, 3, (void *)0); }
then `grep 'found sentinel' infer-out/log/analyzer_out`
-> the sentinel attribute is correctly passed from the frontend to the backend.
