This commit does a lot of stuff all at once, so here are the main
highlights:
In `TypeTracker.qll`, we change `StepSummary::step` to step only between
source nodes. Because reads and writes of global variables happen in two
different (jump) steps, this requires the intermediate
`ModuleVariableNode` to _also_ be a `LocalSourceNode`, and we therefore
modify the charpred for that class accordingly. (This also means
changing a few of the tests to account for these new source nodes.)
In addition, we change `TypeTracker::step` to likewise step between
local source nodes.
Next, to enable the use of the `track` convenience method on nodes, we
add some pragmas to `TypeTracker::step` that prevent bad joins from
occurring. With this, we can eliminate all of the manual type tracker
join predicates.
Next, we observe that because `StepSummary::step` now uses `flowsTo`, it
automatically encapsulates all local-flow steps. In particular this
means we do not have to use `typePreservingStep` in `smallstep`, but can
use `jumpStep` directly. A similar observation applies to
`TypeTracker::smallstep`.
Having done this, we no longer need `typePreservingStep`, so we get rid
of it.
This is slightly dubious, and should really be in the currently
unimplemented "def" counterpart to the "use" bits we already have.
However, it seems to work correctly, and in the spirit of moving
things along, this seemed like the easier solution. We can always
replace the implementation with the "proper" approach at a later point.
In lieu of removing the offending flow (which would likely have
consequences for a lot of other tests), I opted to simply _include_
the relevant nodes directly.
There is now a bit of redundancy in the tests, but I thought it useful
to actually include some of the cases called out explicitly in the
documentation, so as to make it easy to see that the code actually
does what we expect (in these cases, anyway).
This turned out to be fairly simple. Given an import such as
```python
from foo.bar.baz import quux
```
we create an API-graph node for each valid dotted prefix of
`foo.bar.baz`, i.e. `foo`, `foo.bar`, and `foo.bar.baz`. For these, we
then insert nodes in the API graph, such that `foo` steps to `foo.bar`
along an edge labeled `bar`, etc.
Finally, we only allow undotted names to hang off of the API-graph
root. Thus, `foo` will have a `moduleImport` edge off of the root, and
a `getMember` edge for `bar` (which in turn has a `getMember` edge for
`baz`).
Relative imports are explicitly ignored.
Finally, this commit also adds inline tests for a variety of ways of
importing modules, including a copy of the "import-helper" tests (with
a few modifications to allow a single annotation per line, as these
get rather long quickly!).
