0.7.4

New Queries

• Added a new query, cpp/invalid-pointer-deref, to detect out-of-bounds pointer reads and writes.

Minor Analysis Improvements

• The "Comparison where assignment was intended" query (cpp/compare-where-assign-meant) no longer reports comparisons that appear in macro expansions.
• Some queries that had repeated results corresponding to different levels of indirection for argv now only have a single result.
• The cpp/non-constant-format query no longer considers an assignment on the right-hand side of another assignment to be a source of non-constant format strings. As a result, the query may now produce fewer results.
