The slide contents (images and RST) remain.
Remove the HTML/JS/CSS templates since we're not maintaining them,
and this creates unnecessary burden keeping the JS libraries up to date
with security patches.
Although they mean slightly different things, every single call site
of getUnknownMember() just used it as a way to get array elements.
Since there is no known use-case for the original meaning of
getUnknownMember() I am deprecating it for now.
Technically we still depend on points-to in that we still mention
`PythonFunctionValue` and `ClassValue` in the query. However, we
immediately move to working with the corresponding `Function` and
`Class` AST nodes, and so we're not really using points-to. (The reason
for doing things this way is that otherwise the `.toString()` for all of
the alerts would change, which would make the diff hard to interpret.
This way, it should be fairly simple to see which changes are actually
relevant.)
We do lose some precision when moving away from points-to, and this is
reflected in the changes in the `.expected` file. In particular we no
longer do complicated tracking of values, but rather look at the
syntactic structure of the classes in question. This causes us to lose
out on some results where a special method is defined elsewhere, and
causes a single FP where a special method initially has the wrong
signature, but is subsequently overwritten with a function with the
correct signature.
We also lose out on results having to do with default values, as these
are now disabled.
Finally, it was necessary to add special handling of methods marked with
the `staticmethod` decorator, as these expect to receive fewer
arguments. This was motivated by a MRVA run, where e.g. sympy showed a
lot of examples along the lines of
```
@staticmethod
def __abs__():
return ...
```
* remove ql test running and upgrade/downgrade scripts checking (now
done internally)
* removed all the bazel caching stuff, that never really worked any way
* moved `misc/codegen` generic testing to a separate workflow, as it's
not swift specific any more
* reinstanted checking that the extractor can be built locally from
the `codeql` repo.
