Previously, bitwise shifts with constant operands were validated by the
checker `core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult`. However, this logic was
unreliable, and commit 25b9696b61 added
the dedicated checker `core.BitwiseShift` which validated the
preconditions of all bitwise shifts with a more accurate logic (that
uses the real types from the AST instead of the unreliable type
information encoded in `APSInt` objects).
This commit disables the inaccurate logic that could mark bitwise shifts
as 'undefined' and removes the redundant shift-related warning messages
from core.UndefinedBinaryOperatorResult. The tests that were validating
this logic are also deleted by this commit; but I verified that those
testcases trigger the expected bug reports from `core.BitwiseShift`. (I
didn't convert them to tests of `core.BitwiseShift`, because that
checker already has its own extensive test suite with many analogous
testcases.)
I hope that there will be a time when the constant folding will be
reliable, but until then we need hacky solutions like this improve the
quality of results.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
