23/// This function de-facto defines a set of transformations that we consider
24/// safe (in heuristical sense). These transformation if passed a safe value as
25/// an input should provide a safe value (or an object that provides safe
26/// values).
27///
28/// For more context see Static Analyzer checkers documentation - specifically
29/// webkit.UncountedCallArgsChecker checker. Allowed list of transformations:
30/// - constructors of ref-counted types (including factory methods)
31/// - getters of ref-counted types
32/// - member overloaded operators
33/// - casts
34/// - unary operators like ``&`` or ``*``
35///
36/// If passed expression is of type uncounted pointer/reference we try to find
37/// the "origin" of the pointer value.
38/// Origin can be for example a local variable, nullptr, constant or
39/// this-pointer.
40///
41/// Certain subexpression nodes represent transformations that don't affect
42/// where the memory address originates from. We try to traverse such
43/// subexpressions to get to the relevant child nodes. Whenever we encounter a
44/// subexpression that either can't be ignored, we don't model its semantics or
45/// that has multiple children we stop.
46///
47/// \p E is an expression of uncounted pointer/reference type.
48/// If \p StopAtFirstRefCountedObj is true and we encounter a subexpression that
49/// represents ref-counted object during the traversal we return relevant
50/// sub-expression and true.
51///
52/// Calls \p callback with the subexpression that we traversed to and if \p
53/// StopAtFirstRefCountedObj is true we also specify whether we stopped early.
54/// Returns false if any of calls to callbacks returned false. Otherwise true.
56 const clang::Expr *E, bool StopAtFirstRefCountedObj,
57 std::function<bool(const clang::Expr *, bool)> callback);
58
59/// For \p E referring to a ref-countable/-counted pointer/reference we return
60/// whether it's a safe call argument. Examples: function parameter or
61/// this-pointer. The logic relies on the set of recursive rules we enforce for
62/// WebKit codebase.
63///
64/// \returns Whether \p E is a safe call arugment.
