This will now warn when doing something like this:
```cpp
template <class T, class K, class V>
const V& get_default(const T& t, const K& k, const V& v) {
auto it = t.find(k);
if (it == t.end()) return v;
return it->second;
}
const int& bar(const std::unordered_map<int, int>& m, int k) {
auto x = 0;
return get_default(m, k, x);
}
```
The lifetime warning is considered inconclusive in this case.
I also updated valueflow to no tinject inconclusive values unless `--inconclusive` flag is passed. This creates some false negatives because library functions are not configured to not modify their input parameters, and there are some checks that do not check if the value is inconclusive or not.
* Try harder to track ref lifetimes
* Dont add lifetimes for references
* Use correct token
* Check for front and back as well
* Improve handling of addresses
* Formatting
* Fix FP
This will diagnose more issues such as:
```cpp
void f(std::vector<int> &v) {
auto v0 = v.begin();
v.push_back(123);
std::cout << *v0 << std::endl;
}
```
This will warn for cases where searching in an associative container happens before insertion, like this:
```cpp
void f1(std::set<unsigned>& s, unsigned x) {
if (s.find(x) == s.end()) {
s.insert(x);
}
}
void f2(std::map<unsigned, unsigned>& m, unsigned x) {
if (m.find(x) == m.end()) {
m.emplace(x, 1);
} else {
m[x] = 1;
}
}
```
In the case of the map it could be written as `m[x] = 1` as it will create the key if it doesnt exist, so the extra search is not necessary.
I have this marked as `performance` as it is mostly concerning performance, but there could be a copy-paste error possibly, although I dont think thats common.
So this unifies the `valueFlowAfterCondition` so it re-uses more code between checking for integers and container sizes. This should make valueFlowContainer more robust.
It also extends valueflow to support container comparisons such as `if (v.size() < 3)` or `if (v.size() > 3)` using the same mechanism that is used for integers.
* Improve STL interators checking
* Improve error messages for container iterators from different scopes
* Mini refactoring
* Replace hardcoded pattern to ValueType::Type::ITERATOR
* Error messages improvements, more tests and refactoring
* Refactoring after code review
* Put getting operand data into separate function
* Update getErrorMessages and iterator errors ids
* Refactoring
* Fix error
* Refactoring, early return implementation
* Delete redundant code
* Tiny changes in comments
