0.9.9

New Queries

• Added a new query, cpp/type-confusion, to detect casts to invalid types.

Query Metadata Changes

• @precision medium metadata was added to the cpp/boost/tls-settings-misconfiguration and cpp/boost/use-of-deprecated-hardcoded-security-protocol queries, and these queries are now included in the security-extended suite. The @name metadata of these queries were also updated.

Minor Analysis Improvements

• The "Missing return-value check for a 'scanf'-like function" query (cpp/missing-check-scanf) has been converted to a path-problem query.
• The "Potentially uninitialized local variable" query (cpp/uninitialized-local) has been converted to a path-problem query.
• Added models for GLib allocation and deallocation functions.
