- Introduce `ReadTaintNode` and `TaintStoreNode` to simplify logic for taint
getters and taint setters, respectively.
- `nodeCandFwd2`: Restrict `stored` column after a read, based on what it might
be before a store of the same field.
- `nodeCand2`: Restrict `read` column (renamed from `stored`) after a store, based
on what it might be after a read of the same field.
- Move big step predicates into a `LocalFlowBigStep` module.
- Define predicates by dispatch in `AccessPath[Front]` class.
- `flowCandFwd0`: Restrict `apf` column after a read, as it should be able to match
a Boolean `read` column from `nodeCand2`.
- `flowFwd0`: Restrict columns `ap` and `apf` after a read, by introducing a
`flowConsCandFwd` predicate (similar to what is done in the previous pruning steps).
- `flowFwd0`: Restrict columns `ap` and `apf` after a store, by introducing a
`flowConsCand` predicate (similar to what is done in the previous pruning steps).
Added a new `StaticLocalVariable` class, which made several other pieces of the original change a bit cleaner.
Fixed test failures due to a mistake in the original `CFG.qll` change.
Added a test case for static local variables with constructors.
Removed the `Uninitialized` instruction from the initialization of a static local, because all objects with static storage duration are zero-initialized at startup.
Fixed expectations for `SignAnalysis.ql` to reflect that a bad result is now fixed.
Previously, the IR for the initialization of a static local variable ran the initialization unconditionally, every time the declaration was reached during execution. This means that we don't model the possibility that an access to the static variable fetches a value that was set on a previous execution of the function.
I've added some simple modelling of the correct behavior to the IR. For each static local variable that has a dynamic initializer, we synthesize a (static) `bool` variable to hold whether the initializer for the original variable has executed. When executing a declaration, we check the value of the synthesized variable, and skip the initialization code if it is `true`. If it is `false`, we execute the initialization code as before, and then set the flag to `true`. This doesn't capture the thread-safe nature of static initialization, but I think it's more than enough to handle anything we're likely to care about for the foreseeable future.
In `TranslatedDeclarationEntry.qll`, I split the translation of a static local variable declaration into two `TranslatedElement`s: one for the declaration itself, and one for the initialization. The declaration part handles the checking and setting of the flag; the initialization just does the initialization as before.
I've added an IR test case that has static variables with constant, zero, and dynamic initialization. I've also verified the new IR generated for @jbj's previous test cases for constant initialization.
I inverted the sense of the `hasConstantInitialization()` predicate to be `hasDynamicInitialization()`. Mostly this just made more sense to me, but I think it also fixed a potential bug where `hasConstantInitialization()` would not hold for a zero-initialized variable. Technically, constant initialization isn't the same as zero initialization, but I believe that most code really cares about the distinction between dynamic initialization and static initialization, where static initialization includes both constant and zero initialization.
I've fixed up the C# side of IR generation to continue working, but it doesn't use any of the dynamic initialization stuff. In theory, it could use something similar to model the initialization of static fields.
For syntax errors, we simply report the major version.
For unused imports, we were getting a result for `typing.py` when run under
Python 3.7.3. To prevent this import from being considered, I've set the maximum
import depth to `0`.
