This change suppresses results from "Declaration hides parameter" where
the ParameterDeclarationEntry does not link up to the right
FunctionDeclarationEntry.
Bad magic ended up in `LocalVariable.getFunction` and effectively
created a Cartesian product. Before this change, the timing looked like
this:
Variable::LocalVariable::getFunction_dispred#bb ... 50.1s
#select#cpe#123#fff ............................... 20.6s
After this change, those predicates become much faster:
Variable::LocalVariable::getFunction_dispred#ff ... 121ms
DeclarationHidesParameter::localVariableNames#fff . 77ms
#select#cpe#123#fff ............................... 28ms
Introducing the predicate `localVariableNames` ensures that we can do
the main join on two columns simultaneously, so that's a change we
should keep even if we remove the `pragma[nomagic]` later.
This test was intended to catch regressions in the CFG, but it looks
like it's just catching insignificant extractor changes. The test has
started failing after some recent extractor changes, but I have no way
to pinpoint the failure and understand whether it's a problem or not, so
I think it's better to delete this test.
The remaining tests check whether the QL-based CFG generates the same
graph as the extractor-based CFG. Furthermore, the `successor-tests`
check that the extractor-based CFG works as intended.
We agreed in the review of the original PR that `getName` is more
appropriate here than `getQualifiedName`. Using `getName` ensures that
we also match the `std::`-prefixed versions of these functions as well
as user-defined versions.
This commit doesn't change any behavior but just uses the preferred
high-level predicates. The `getChild` predicate inspects the raw
database more or less directly, and the database layout could change in
the future.
This should make the documentation more in line with the documentation
for our other queries. The @name of the query is changed to "Use of
string copy function in a condition".
This recursive predicate is made faster by working around a known
optimizer problem (QL-796) that causes the optimizer to insert extra
type checks in recursive case even when they are only needed in the
base case.
