- 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`.
Before this change,
```
flowOutOfCallableStep(CallNode call, ReturnNode ret, OutNode out, CallContext cc)
```
would compute all combinations of call sites `call` and returned expressions `ret`
up front.
Now, we instead introduce explicit return nodes, so each callable has exactly
one return node (as well as one for each `out`/`ref` parameter). There is then
local flow from a returned expression to the relevant return node, and
`flowOutOfCallableStep()` computes combinations of call sites and return nodes.
Not only does this result in better performance, it also makes `flowOutOfCallableStep()`
symmetric to `flowIntoCallableStep()`, where each argument is mapped to a parameter,
and not to all reads of that parameter.
Write accesses in assignments, such as the access to `x` in `x = 0` are not
evaluated, so they should not have entries in the control flow graph. However,
qualifiers (and indexer arguments) should still be evaluated, for example in
```
x.Foo.Bar = 0;
```
the CFG should be `x --> x.Foo --> 0 --> x.Foo.Bar = 0` (as opposed to
`x --> x.Foo --> x.Foo.Bar --> 0 --> x.Foo.Bar = 0`, prior to this change).
A special case is assignments via acessors (properties, indexers, and event
adders), where we do want to include the access in the control flow graph,
as it represents the accessor call:
```
x.Prop = 0;
```
But instead of `x --> x.set_Prop --> 0 --> x.Prop = 0` the CFG should be
`x --> 0 --> x.set_Prop --> x.Prop = 0`, as the setter is called *after* the
assigned value has been evaluated.
An even more special case is tuple assignments via accessors:
```
(x.Prop1, y.Prop2) = (0, 1);
```
Here the CFG should be
`x --> y --> 0 --> 1 --> x.set_Prop1 --> y.set_Prop2 --> (x.Prop1, y.Prop2) = (0, 1)`.
