We get `NULLPTR_DEREFERENCE` false positive for `thread_local` variable since we reallocate it in the `VariableLifetimeBegins` metadata instruction and we do not see further updates to the variable. To solve the issue we special case `VariableLifetimeBegins` instruction for global variables.

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:
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:
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.

arithmetic constraints to callers.

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.

Get rid of HIL expressions in pulse. This finishes the HIL -> SIL
migration. The first step made pulse start from SIL instructions but
would translate most accesses to HIL to re-use most of the existing
pulse code. This diff gets rid of the intermediate translation of SIL
expressions to HIL expressions.
Big changes:
1. `PulseOperations` mostly rewritten, driven by using `Exp.t` instead of `HilExp.AccessExpression.t` for everything.
2. Stop trying to reverse-engineer what addresses mean in terms of
access paths from program variables. Rely on the trace pointing at
the right places in the code to be enough. This is because it wasn't
that useful (and could even be misleading when wrong) but could be
prohibitively expensive in degenerate cases (eg nodes with tens of
thousands of successive array accesses...)
3. `PulseAbductiveDomain.apply_post` now returns the computed return
value instead of recording it itself.
4. Change of vocabulary: `materialize` -> `eval`, `crumb` -> `event`
5. Function calls arguments are now evaluated prior to doing anything
else, which saves everything else from having to (remember to) do
that. In particular, this changes how models look quite a bit.

Oops, that's a use-after-delete, whereas the original code was safe.
While it's easy to write SIL programs that are completely unsound for
HIL, they are not generated very often from the frontends. In fact, the
problem became apparent only when making the clang frontend translate
C++ temporaries destructors, which produces the situation above
routinely.
This diff makes the minimal amount of change to make Pulse build and

This diff rewrites the existing logic for computing the list of

because it's the end of their syntactic scope or because control flow
branches outside of their syntactic scope.
The frontend translates a function from the last instructions to the
first, but scope computation needs to be done in the other direction, so
it's done in a separate pass *before* the main translation happens. That
first pass creates a map from statements in the AST to the list of
variables that should be destroyed at the end of these statements. This
is still the case now.
Before, that map would be computed in a bit of a weird way: scopes are
naturally a stack but instead of that the structure maintained was a
flat list + a counter to know where the current scope ended in that
list.

Summary:
Before: the trace would explain how a value was invalidated and
accessed, but not how the value that was invalidated had been
constructed.
Now: `PulseTrace.t` records breadcrumbs of how the value was constructed
in addition to the interproc "action" trace leading to the invalidation
or access action.
Concretely:
```
void bad(X &x) {
X *y = x;
X *z = x;
delete y;
access(z);
}
```
will produce the trace:
Invalidation part:
y = x
delete y
Access part:
z = x
access(z)
access to z->f inside of access(z)
Before this diff the "Access part" would be missing the "z = x" part of
the trace, so it might be confusing why `z` has anything to do with `y`.
However, such "breadcrumbs" are not recorded in the inter-procedural
part, only the sequence of calls is. This is a trade-off for simplicity,
maybe it's enough for developers maybe it isn't, we'll find out later.

- mention the line at which it was invalidated (the line at which it's accessed is already the line at which we report)

Similarly to function parameters (and the return value), we need to

Summary:
The heuristic to detect variables going out of scope was to detect any
access expression passed as argument to an injected destructor call.
However destructor calls are also injected in destructor bodies to
destruct each field of an object, so the heuristic would detect fields
going out of scope, which, erm, doesn't make sense. Limit the heuristic
to local program variables.

Summary:
Only throw values to the pre if they can be followed from "abducible"
variables: formals of the current method and globals.
Because figuring out if a `Pvar.t` is a formal of the current procedure
is actually a giant pain, hack something not too bad instead:
pre-register all formals at the start of the analysis of the
procedure. Then the only other variables we care about in the
precondition are globals, which we can detect easily.
This is mostly an optimisation (summaries won't include irrelevant
"abduced" facts about the procedure's local variables anymore), but it
also fixes a bug where we would sometimes overwrite things in the pre. I
think that's why the tests improved.

Summary:
This mostly doesn't make sense. The only thing this would have been good
for was to give the most accurate result on access paths such as
`*(&(x.f))`, but these are normalised anyway (into `x.f`) so we actually
never see these. That said there might be some use to some similar logic
in the future, but in the meantime let's delete the current feature as
it wasn't thought through.

The previous message formatting had regressed and produced non-sensical messages.
More importantly, remove template parameters from error messages to
trigger the heuristic in `InferPrint` that deduplicates errors that are

get hundreds of reports that correspond to as many instantiations of the
same code.

Summary:
We see the magic function `__variable_initialization` at the point where
the variable is declared, eg `int x = foo()`. It's safe to reset `&x` at
that point. This circumvents an issue that pops up in some rare cases
where the ternary conditional operator `?:` and variable initialization
conspire to produce weird frontend results.
Some test becomes a FN again, but I think it was being reported for the
wrong reasons; will investigate more later.

Instead of emitting an ad-hoc builtin on variable declaration emit a new

Summary:
Bundle all non-semantic-bearing instructions into a `Metadata _`
instruction in SIL.
- On a documentation level this makes clearer the distinction between
instructions that encode the semantics of the program and those that are
just hints for the various backend analysis.
- This makes it easier to add more of these auxiliary instructions in
the future. For example, the next diff introduces a new `Skip` auxiliary
instruction to replace the hacky `ExitScope([], Location.dummy)`.
- It also makes it easier to surface all current and future such
auxiliary instructions to HIL as the datatype for these syntactic hints
can be shared between SIL and HIL. This diff brings `Nullify` and
`Abstract` to HIL for free.

Summary:
Previously we would say that `lhs <= rhs` (or `lhs |- rhs`) when a
mapping existed between the abstract addresses of `lhs` and `rhs` such
that `mapping(lhs)` was a supergraph of `rhs`. In particular,
we had that `x |-> x' * x' |-> x'' |- x |-> x'`. This is not entirely
great, in particular once we get pairs of state representing footprint +
current state. I'm not sure I have an extremely compelling argument why
though, except that it's not the usual way we do implication in SL, but
there wasn't a compelling argument for the previous state of affairs
either.
This changes `|-` to be true only when `mapping(lhs) = rhs` (modulo only
considering the addresses reachable from the stack variables).

Summary:
When joining two lists of disjuncts we try to ensure there isn't a state
that under-approximates another already in the list. This helps reduce
the number of disjuncts that are generated by conditionals and loops.
Before we would always just add more disjuncts unless they were
physically equal but now we do a subgraph computation to assess
under-approximation.
We only do this half-heartedly for now however, only taking into
consideration the "new" disjuncts vs the "old" ones. It probably makes
sense to do a full quadratic search to minimise the number of disjuncts
from time to time but this isn't done here.

The disjunctive domain shouldn't really be a set in the first place as
comparing abstract states for equality is expensive to do naively
(walking the whole maps representing the abstract heap). Moreover in
practice these sets have a small max size (currently 50 for pulse, the
only client), so switching them to plain lists makes sense.

Summary:
Record per-location traces. Actually, that doesn't quite make sense as a
location can be accessed in many ways, so associate a trace to each
*edge* in the memory graph. For instance, when doing `x->f = *y`, we
want to take the history of the `<val of y> --*--> ..` edge, add "assigned
at location blah" to it and store this extended history to the edge
`<val of x> --f--> ..`.
Use this machinery to print nicer traces in `infer explore` and better
error messages too (include the last assignment, like biabduction
messages).
