Summary: Before we were modelling `vector.end()` as returning a fresh pointer every time is was called. It is common to check if an iterator is not the `end()` iterator and proceed to dereference the iterator in that case. In such code pattern `vector.end()` is called twice and returns different fresh values which causes false positives. To fix this, we add a special internal field `__infer_model_backing_array_pointer_to_last_element` to a vector to denote its end. Now, every time we call `vector.end()` we return the value of this field. We introduce a new attribute `EndOfCollection` to mark `end` iterator as the existing `EndIterator` invalidation is not suitable when we need to read the same value multiple times.

Summary:
This time it's personal.
Roll out pulse's own arithmetic domain to be fast and be able to add
precision as needed. Formulas are precise representations of the path
condition to allow for good inter-procedural precision. Reasoning on
these is somewhat ad-hoc (except for equalities, but even these aren't
quite properly saturated in general), so expect lots of holes.
Skipping dead code in the interest of readability as this (at least
temporarily) doesn't use pudge anymore. This may make a come-back as
pudge has/will have better precision: the proposed implementation of
`PulseFormula` is very cheap so can be used any time we could want to
prune paths (see following commits), but this comes at the price of some
precision. Calling into pudge at reporting time still sounds like a good
idea to reduce false positives due to infeasible paths.

Add a test to the repo to try and detect perf regressions in pulse.
Currently analyzed in ~0.1s. With `--pudge`, takes ~10s.
Sledge does eager normalization and canonicalization when incorporating new facts into formula contexts and the algorithm is polynomial in the number of equalities. This example generates one equality per location in the array => boom. This bypasses the recency model of arrays because the formula needs to be constructed before it can be simplified to get rid of dead variables.
The new arithmetic is not as complete as sledge's algorithm but linear in time. We could use it to simplify the formula *before* passing it to sledge. In fact, that was the original motivation.

Summary:
When applying function summaries, we are careful not to violate the
summary's assumptions about non-aliasing. For example, the summary we
generate for `foo(x,y) { *x = *y; }` will have `x` and `y` be allocated
to two different `AbstractValue.t` in the heap, representing
disjointness.
However, the current logic is too coarse and also rejects passing the
same pure value to functions that made no assumption about them being
equal or different, eg `goo(int x,int y) { int z = x + y; }`. This is
because the corresponding `AbstractValue.t` are different in the
callee's summary, but are represented by only one same value in callers
such as `goo(i,i)`.
This diff restricts the "don't violate aliasing" condition to only
consider heap-allocated values. This is consistent with separation logic
by the way: we use the implication `x|->- * y|->- |- x≠y`, which is
valid only when both `x` and `y` are both allocated in the heap as in
the left-hand-side of `|-`.

Summary:
Replace horrible hack with ok hack.
The main difficulty in implementing the disjunctive domain is to avoid
the quadratic time complexity of executing the same disjuncts over and
over again when going around loops:
First time around a loop, assuming for example a single disjunct `d`:
```
[d]
loop body
[d1' \/ d2']
```
Second time around the same loop: the new pre will be the join of the
posts of predecessor nodes, so `old_pre \/ post(loop,old_pre)`, i.e.
`d \/ d1' \/ d2'`. Now we need to execute `loop body` again
*without running the symbolic execution of `d` again* (and the time after
that we'll want to not execute `d`, `d1'`, or `d2'`).
Horrible hack (before): Disjuncts have a boolean "visited" attached
that does its best to keep track of whether a given disjunct is old or
new. When executing a single *instruction* look at the flag and skip the
state if it's old. Of course we have no way to know for sure so it turns
out it was often wrongly re-executing old disjuncts. This was also
producing the wrong results over even simple loops: only the last
iteration would make it outside the loop for some reason. Overall, the
semantics were pretty untractable and shady at best.
New hack (this diff): only run instructions of a given *node* on
disjuncts that are not physically equal to the "pre" ones already in the
invariant map for the current node.
This gives the correct result over simple loops and a nice performance
improvement in general (probably the old heuristic was hitting the
quadratic bad case more often).

Summary:
We translated the expression `CXXStdInitializerListExpr` naively in D3058895 as a call to
a skip function, with the hope that it would be translated better in the future. However, the naive means that we lose access to the initialized list/array because we are simply skipping it. So, even if we want to model the initializer properly, we have to deal with the skip specially.
This diff tries to solve this problem by removing the skip call whenever
possible. Instead, we translate the underlying array/list as a Load, so
that when it is passed to the constructor, we can pick it up.
For the following initialization:
``` std::vector<int*> vec = {nullptr};
```
Before, we translated it as
```
*&0$?%__sil_tmpSIL_materialize_temp__n$7[0]:int* const =null
n$8=_fun___infer_skip_function(&0$?%__sil_tmpSIL_materialize_temp__n$7:int* const [1*8] const )
n$9=_fun_std::vector<int*,std::allocator<int*>>::vector(&vec:std::vector<int*,std::allocator<int*>>*,n$8:std::initializer_list<int*>)
```
However, this means, `n$8` would be result of something skipped which we can't reason about. Instead, we just pass the underlying initialized array now, so we get the following translation:
```
*&0$?%__sil_tmpSIL_materialize_temp__n$7[0]:int* const =null
n$8=*&0$?%__sil_tmpSIL_materialize_temp__n$7:int* const [1*8] const

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;`).

* 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.

```

```
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).

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.
