## 0.5.3
No user-facing changes.
## 0.5.2
No user-facing changes.
## 0.5.1
No user-facing changes.
## 0.5.0
### Breaking Changes
The predicates in the `MustFlow::Configuration` class used by the `MustFlow` library (`semmle.code.cpp.ir.dataflow.MustFlow`) have changed to be defined directly in terms of the C++ IR instead of IR dataflow nodes.
### Deprecated APIs
* Deprecated `semmle.code.cpp.ir.dataflow.DefaultTaintTracking`. Use `semmle.code.cpp.ir.dataflow.TaintTracking`.
* Deprecated `semmle.code.cpp.security.TaintTrackingImpl`. Use `semmle.code.cpp.ir.dataflow.TaintTracking`.
* Deprecated `semmle.code.cpp.valuenumbering.GlobalValueNumberingImpl`. Use `semmle.code.cpp.valuenumbering.GlobalValueNumbering`, which exposes the same API.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* The `ArgvSource` flow source now uses the second parameter of `main` as its source instead of the uses of this parameter.
* The `ArgvSource` flow source has been generalized to handle cases where the argument vector of `main` is not named `argv`.
* The `getaddrinfo` function is now recognized as a flow source.
* The `secure_getenv` and `_wgetenv` functions are now recognized as local flow sources.
* The `scanf` and `fscanf` functions and their variants are now recognized as flow sources.
* Deleted the deprecated `getName` and `getShortName` predicates from the `Folder` class.
## 0.4.6
No user-facing changes.
## 0.4.5
No user-facing changes.
## 0.4.4
No user-facing changes.
## 0.4.3
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* Fixed bugs in the `FormatLiteral` class that were causing `getMaxConvertedLength` and related predicates to return no results when the format literal was `%e`, `%f` or `%g` and an explicit precision was specified.
## 0.4.2
No user-facing changes.
## 0.4.1
No user-facing changes.
## 0.4.0
### Deprecated APIs
* Some classes/modules with upper-case acronyms in their name have been renamed to follow our style-guide.
The old name still exists as a deprecated alias.
### New Features
* Added subclasses of `BuiltInOperations` for `__is_same`, `__is_function`, `__is_layout_compatible`, `__is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of`, `__is_array`, `__array_rank`, `__array_extent`, `__is_arithmetic`, `__is_complete_type`, `__is_compound`, `__is_const`, `__is_floating_point`, `__is_fundamental`, `__is_integral`, `__is_lvalue_reference`, `__is_member_function_pointer`, `__is_member_object_pointer`, `__is_member_pointer`, `__is_object`, `__is_pointer`, `__is_reference`, `__is_rvalue_reference`, `__is_scalar`, `__is_signed`, `__is_unsigned`, `__is_void`, and `__is_volatile`.
### Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue in the taint tracking analysis where implicit reads were not allowed by default in sinks or additional taint steps that used flow states.
## 0.3.5
## 0.3.4
### Deprecated APIs
* Many classes/predicates/modules with upper-case acronyms in their name have been renamed to follow our style-guide.
The old name still exists as a deprecated alias.
### New Features
* Added support for getting the link targets of global and namespace variables.
* Added a `BlockAssignExpr` class, which models a `memcpy`-like operation used in compiler generated copy/move constructors and assignment operations.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* All deprecated predicates/classes/modules that have been deprecated for over a year have been deleted.
## 0.3.3
### New Features
* Added a predicate `getValueConstant` to `AttributeArgument` that yields the argument value as an `Expr` when the value is a constant expression.
* A new class predicate `MustFlowConfiguration::allowInterproceduralFlow` has been added to the `semmle.code.cpp.ir.dataflow.MustFlow` library. The new predicate can be overridden to disable interprocedural flow.
* Added subclasses of `BuiltInOperations` for `__builtin_bit_cast`, `__builtin_shuffle`, `__has_unique_object_representations`, `__is_aggregate`, and `__is_assignable`.
### Major Analysis Improvements
* The IR dataflow library now includes flow through global variables. This enables new findings in many scenarios.
## 0.3.2
### Bug Fixes
* Under certain circumstances a variable declaration that is not also a definition could be associated with a `Variable` that did not have the definition as a `VariableDeclarationEntry`. This is now fixed, and a unique `Variable` will exist that has both the declaration and the definition as a `VariableDeclarationEntry`.
## 0.3.1
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* `AnalysedExpr::isNullCheck` and `AnalysedExpr::isValidCheck` have been updated to handle variable accesses on the left-hand side of the C++ logical "and", and variable declarations in conditions.
## 0.3.0
### Deprecated APIs
* The `BarrierGuard` class has been deprecated. Such barriers and sanitizers can now instead be created using the new `BarrierGuard` parameterized module.
### Bug Fixes
* `UserType.getADeclarationEntry()` now yields all forward declarations when the user type is a `class`, `struct`, or `union`.
## 0.2.3
### New Features
* An `isBraced` predicate was added to the `Initializer` class which holds when a C++ braced initializer was used in the initialization.
## 0.2.2
### Deprecated APIs
* The `AnalysedString` class in the `StringAnalysis` module has been replaced with `AnalyzedString`, to follow our style guide. The old name still exists as a deprecated alias.
### New Features
* A `getInitialization` predicate was added to the `ConstexprIfStmt`, `IfStmt`, and `SwitchStmt` classes that yields the C++17-style initializer of the `if` or `switch` statement when it exists.
## 0.2.1
## 0.2.0
### Breaking Changes
* The signature of `allowImplicitRead` on `DataFlow::Configuration` and `TaintTracking::Configuration` has changed from `allowImplicitRead(DataFlow::Node node, DataFlow::Content c)` to `allowImplicitRead(DataFlow::Node node, DataFlow::ContentSet c)`.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* More Windows pool allocation functions are now detected as `AllocationFunction`s.
* The `semmle.code.cpp.commons.Buffer` library has been enhanced to handle array members of classes that do not specify a size.
## 0.1.0
### Breaking Changes
* The recently added flow-state versions of `isBarrierIn`, `isBarrierOut`, `isSanitizerIn`, and `isSanitizerOut` in the data flow and taint tracking libraries have been removed.
### New Features
* A new library `semmle.code.cpp.security.PrivateData` has been added. The new library heuristically detects variables and functions dealing with sensitive private data, such as e-mail addresses and credit card numbers.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* The `semmle.code.cpp.security.SensitiveExprs` library has been enhanced with some additional rules for detecting credentials.
## 0.0.13
## 0.0.12
### Breaking Changes
* The flow state variants of `isBarrier` and `isAdditionalFlowStep` are no longer exposed in the taint tracking library. The `isSanitizer` and `isAdditionalTaintStep` predicates should be used instead.
### Deprecated APIs
* Many classes/predicates/modules that had upper-case acronyms have been renamed to follow our style-guide.
The old name still exists as a deprecated alias.
### New Features
* The data flow and taint tracking libraries have been extended with versions of `isBarrierIn`, `isBarrierOut`, and `isBarrierGuard`, respectively `isSanitizerIn`, `isSanitizerOut`, and `isSanitizerGuard`, that support flow states.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* `DefaultOptions::exits` now holds for C11 functions with the `_Noreturn` or `noreturn` specifier.
* `hasImplicitCopyConstructor` and `hasImplicitCopyAssignmentOperator` now correctly handle implicitly-deleted operators in templates.
* All deprecated predicates/classes/modules that have been deprecated for over a year have been deleted.
## 0.0.11
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* Many queries now support structured bindings, as structured bindings are now handled in the IR translation.
## 0.0.10
### New Features
* Added a `isStructuredBinding` predicate to the `Variable` class which holds when the variable is declared as part of a structured binding declaration.
## 0.0.9
## 0.0.8
### Deprecated APIs
* The `codeql/cpp-upgrades` CodeQL pack has been removed. All upgrades scripts have been merged into the `codeql/cpp-all` CodeQL pack.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* `FormatLiteral::getMaxConvertedLength` now uses range analysis to provide a
more accurate length for integers formatted with `%x`
## 0.0.7
## 0.0.6
## 0.0.5
## 0.0.4
### New Features
* The QL library `semmle.code.cpp.commons.Exclusions` now contains a predicate
`isFromSystemMacroDefinition` for identifying code that originates from a
macro outside the project being analyzed.
