For methods compiled without optimization (and possibly also with optimization),
it is possible for a variable update to have multiple possible assigned values.
For example, the non-optimized CIL for
```
return cond ? null : "not null"
```
is
```
0: nop
1: ldarg.0
2: ldfld cond
3: brtrue.s 6:
4: ldstr "not null"
5: br.s 7:
6: ldnull
7: stloc.0 L0 // stores either `null` or "not null"
8: br.s 9:
9: ldloc.0
10: ret
```
Consequently, an existential in `CallableReturns.qll` must be a `forex`.
- Extract names of properties in a propery match, using the `exprorstmt_name` relation.
- Simplify extraction of properties by not distinguishing between top-level patterns
and nested patterns.
- Introduce `PatternExpr` to capture patterns in `is` expressions, `case` statements,
and `switch` expression arms.
- Generalize `IsTypeExpr`, `IsPatternExpr`, `IsRecursivePatternExpr`, and `IsConstantExpr`
to just `IsExpr` with a member predicate `PatternExpr getPattern()`.
- Generalize `TypeCase`, `RecursivePatternCase`, and `ConstCase` to just `CaseStmt` with
a member predicate `PatternExpr getPattern()`.
- Introduce classes `Switch` and `Case` as base classes of switch statements/expressions
and case statements/switch expression arms, respectively.
- Simplify CFG logic using the generalized classes.
- Generalize guards library to cover `switch` expressions tests.
- Generalize data flow library to cover `switch` expression assignments.
- General refactoring to fit with the shared data flow implementation.
- Move CFG splitting logic into `ControlFlowReachability.qll`.
- Replace `isAdditionalFlowStepIntoCall()` with `TaintedParameterNode`.
- Redefine `ReturnNode` to be the actual values that are returned, which should
yield better path information.
- No longer consider overrides in CIL calls.
- Cache predicates in the same stage using a cached module.
- Introduce `DefUse::defUseVariableUpdate()` and use in `CallableReturns.qll`.
The updated file `csharp/ql/test/library-tests/cil/dataflow/Nullness.expected`
demonstrates why this is needed.
- Utilize CIL analysis in `Guards::nonNullValue()`.
- Analyze SSA definitions in `AlwaysNullExpr`, similar to `NonNullExpr`.
