// Modeling of un-inlined AssertionResult constructors
//
// The gtest unit testing API provides macros for assertions that expand
// into an if statement that calls a series of constructors and returns
// when the "assertion" is false.
//
// For example,
//
//   ASSERT_TRUE(a == b)
//
// expands into:
//
//   switch (0)
//   case 0:
//   default:
//     if (const ::testing::AssertionResult gtest_ar_ =
//             ::testing::AssertionResult((a == b)))
//       ;
//     else
//       return ::testing::internal::AssertHelper(
//                  ::testing::TestPartResult::kFatalFailure,
//                  "<path to project>",
//                  <line number>,
//                  ::testing::internal::GetBoolAssertionFailureMessage(
//                      gtest_ar_, "a == b", "false", "true")
//                      .c_str()) = ::testing::Message();
//
// where AssertionResult is defined similarly to
//
//   class AssertionResult {
//   public:
//     AssertionResult(const AssertionResult& other);
//     explicit AssertionResult(bool success) : success_(success) {}
//     operator bool() const { return success_; }
//     ...
//     private:
//     bool success_;
//   };
//
// In order for the analyzer to correctly handle this assertion, it needs to
// know that the boolean value of the expression "a == b" is stored the
// 'success_' field of the original AssertionResult temporary and propagated
// (via the copy constructor) into the 'success_' field of the object stored
// in 'gtest_ar_'.  That boolean value will then be returned from the bool
// conversion method in the if statement. This guarantees that the assertion
// holds when the return path is not taken.
//
// If the success value is not properly propagated, then the eager case split
// on evaluating the expression can cause pernicious false positives
// on the non-return path:
//
//   ASSERT(ptr != NULL)
//   *ptr = 7; // False positive null pointer dereference here
//
// Unfortunately, the bool constructor cannot be inlined (because its
// implementation is not present in the headers) and the copy constructor is
// not inlined (because it is constructed into a temporary and the analyzer
// does not inline these since it does not yet reliably call temporary
// destructors).
//
// This checker compensates for the missing inlining by propagating the
// _success value across the bool and copy constructors so the assertion behaves
// as expected.
