These could arguably be moved to `Class` itself, but for now I'm
choosing to limit the changes to the `DuckTyping` module (until we
decide on a proper API).
This module (which for convenience currently resides inside
`DataFlowDispatch`, but this may change later) contains convenience
predicates for bridging the gap between the data-flow layer and the old
points-to analysis.
The fix may look a bit obscure, so here's what's going on.
When we see `from . import helper`, we create an `ImportExpr` with level
equal to 1 (corresponding to the number of dots). To resolve such
imports, we compute the name of the enclosing package, as part of
`ImportExpr.qualifiedTopName()`. For this form of import expression, it
is equivalent to `this.getEnclosingModule().getPackageName()`. But
`qualifiedTopName` requires that `valid_module_name` holds for its
result, and this was _not_ the case for namespace packages.
To fix this, we extend `valid_module_name` to include the module names
of _any_ folder, not just regular package (which are the ones where
there's a `__init__.py` in the folder). Note that this doesn't simply
include all folders -- only the ones that result in valid module names
in Python.
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.
Moves the classes/predicates that _actually_ depend on points-to to the
`LegacyPointsTo` module, leaving behind a module that contains all of
the metrics-related stuff (line counts, nesting depth, etc.) that don't
need points-to to be evaluated.
Consequently, `Metrics` is now no longer a private import in
`python.qll`.
On `keras-team/keras`, this was producing ~200 million intermediate
tuples in order to produce a total of ... 2 tuples.
After the refactor, max intermediate tuple count is ~80k for the
charpred (and 4 for the new helper predicate).
These were causing the repo `gufolabs/noc` to spend ~30 seconds
evaluating `ControlFlowNode.strictlyDominates`. Just in case, I added
`overlay[caller] to the other instances of `pragma[inline]` as well.
