Currently we only instantiate them with the old CFG library, but in the
future we'll want to do this with the new library as well.

This one is potentially a bit iffy -- it checks for a very powerful
propetry (that implies many of the other queries), but as the test
results show, it can produce false positives when there is in fact no
problem. We may want to get rid of it entirely, if it becomes too noisy.
This looks for nodes annotated with `t.never` in the test that are
reachable in the CFG. This should not happen (it messes with various
queries, e.g. the "mixed returns" query), but the test shows that in a
few particular cases (involving the `match` statement where all cases
contain `return`s), we _do_ have reachable nodes that shouldn't be.
This one demonstrates a bug in the current CFG. In a dictionary
comprehension `{k: v for k, v in d.items()}`, we evaluate the value
before the key, which is incorrect. (A fix for this bug has been
implemented in a separate PR.)
These use the annotated, self-verifying test files to check various
consistency requirements.
Some of these may be expressing the same thing in different ways, but
it's fairly cheap to keep them around, so I have not attempted to
produce a minimal set of queries for this.
These tests consist of various Python constructions (hopefully a
somewhat comprehensive set) with specific timestamp annotations
scattered throughout. When the tests are run using the Python 3
interpreter, these annotations are checked and compared to the "current
timestamp" to see that they are in agreement. This is what makes the
tests "self-validating".
There are a few different kinds of annotations: the basic `t[4]` style
(meaning this is executed at timestamp 4), the `t.dead[4]` variant
(meaning this _would_ happen at timestamp 4, but it is in a dead
branch), and `t.never` (meaning this is never executed at all).
In addition to this, there is a query, MissingAnnotations, which checks
whether we have applied these annotations maximally. Many expression
nodes are not actually annotatable, so there is a sizeable list of
excluded nodes for that query.
We won't be able to run these tests until Python 3.15 is actually out
(and our CI is using it), so it seemed easiest to just put them in their
own test directory.
Adds `hasOverloadDecorator` as a predicate on functions. It looks for
decorators called `overload` or `something.overload` (usually
`typing.overload` or `t.overload`). These are then filtered out in the
predicates that (approximate) resolving methods according to the MRO.
As the test introduced in the previous commit shows, this removes the
spurious resolutions we had before.
The ones that no longer require points-to no longer import
`LegacyPointsTo`. The ones that do use the specific
`...MetricsWithPointsTo` classes that are applicable.
With `ModuleVariableNode`s now appearing for _all_ global variables (not
just the ones that actually seem to be used), some of the tests changed
a bit. Mostly this was in the form of new flow (because of new nodes
that popped into existence). For some inline expectation tests, I opted
to instead exclude these results, as there was no suitable location to
annotate. For the normal tests, I just accepted the output (after having
vetted it carefully, of course).
In hindsight, having a `.getMetrics()` method that just returns `this`
is somewhat weird. It's possible that it predates the existence of the
inline cast, however.
For whatever reason, the CFG node for exceptions and exception groups
was placed with the points-to code. (Probably because a lot of the
predicates depended on points-to.)
However, as it turned out, two of the SSA modules only depended on
non-points-to properties of these nodes, and so it was fairly
straightforward to remove the imports of `LegacyPointsTo` for those
modules.
In the process, I moved the aforementioned CFG node types into
`Flow.qll`, and changed the classes in the `Exceptions` module to the
`...WithPointsTo` form that we introduced elsewhere.
Turns out the `ImportTime` module (despite living in
`semmle.python.types` does not actually depend on points-to, so some of
the `LegacyPointsTo` imports could be replaced or removed.
This frees `Class.qll`, `Exprs.qll`, and `Function.qll` from the
clutches of points-to. For the somewhat complicated setup with
`getLiteralObject` (an abstract method), I opted for a slightly ugly but
workable solution of just defining a predicate on `ImmutableLiteral`
that inlines each predicate body, special-cased to the specific instance
to which it applies.
