* The `SimpleRangeAnalysis` library has gained support for several language
constructs it did not support previously. These improvements primarily affect
the queries `cpp/constant-comparison`, `cpp/comparison-with-wider-type`, and
`cpp/integer-multiplication-cast-to-long`. The newly supported language
features are:
* Multiplication of unsigned numbers.
* Multiplication by a constant.
* Reference-typed function parameters.
* Comparing a variable not equal to an endpoint of its range, thus narrowing the range by one.
* Using `if (x)` or `if (!x)` or similar to test for equality to zero.
* The `SimpleRangeAnalysis` library can now be extended with custom rules. See
examples in
`cpp/ql/src/experimental/semmle/code/cpp/rangeanalysis/extensions/`.
