This fixes issue 8996 by improving the alias checking by using lifetime analysis. It also extends the lifetime checker to handle constructors and initializer lists for containers and arrays.
This uses the lifetime analysis to check when comparing pointer that point to different objects:
```cpp
int main(void)
{
int foo[10];
int bar[10];
int diff;
if(foo > bar) // Undefined Behavior
{
diff = 1;
}
return 0;
}
```
This will now warn for cases like this:
```cpp
auto& f() {
std::vector<int> x;
return x[0];
}
```
It also improves the handling of address of operator, so it can now warn across some function calls, like this:
```cpp
int& f(int& a) {
return a;
}
int* hello() {
int x = 0;
return &f(x);
}
```
This will use the lifetime checker for dangling references. It will find these cases for indirectly assigned reference:
```cpp
int &foo()
{
int s = 0;
int& x = s;
return x;
}
```
This will also fix issue 510 as well:
```cpp
int &f( int k )
{
static int &r = k;
return r;
}
```
This fixes valueflow to have a value for `||` operator here:
```cpp
bool f()
{
bool a = (4 == 3); // <-- 0
bool b = (3 == 3); // <-- 1
return a || b; // <-- 1
}
```
When comparing if the shift is large enough to make the result zero, use
an unsigned long long to make sure the result fits. Also, a check that
avoids setting the value if the shift is equal to or larger than the
number of bits in the operand (this is undefined behaviour). Finally,
add a check to make sure the calculated value is not too large to store.
Add test cases to cover this.
This was detected by an MSVC warning.
valueflow.cpp(1350): warning C4334: '<<' : result of 32-bit shift implicitly
converted to 64 bits (was 64-bit shift intended?)

This fixes issue in:
```cpp
void f()
{
char stack[512];
RGNDATA *data;
if (data_size > sizeof (stack))
data = malloc (data_size);
else
data = (RGNDATA *)stack;
if ((char *)data != stack)
free (data); // <- data is not stack
}
```
It seems the `ProgramMemory` can't handle two known values(such as int and tok) together. So instead `ValueFlowAfterAssign` runs `ValueFlowForward` with tok values and then runs it with the other values.
This makes arrays non-null in valueflow, so it can catch comparisons against null that is always true:
```cpp
void f(void) {
int buf[42];
if( buf != 0) {;} // << always true
}
```
