There was no need for the `Tokenizer` parameter to be a pointer as it
could never be `nullptr` and was also dereferenced without checking
first.
As a reference to the `Settings` was already available via the
`Tokenizer` there was no need to pass it separately. In the production
code there will only be one instance of it but in the tests we could
have accidentally passed a different one.
* Use lifetimes to check for returning reference to temporaries
* Check for dangling temporaries
* Check for unknown types for returining by reference
* Remove old returnTemporary check
* Format
* Check for deref op
* Ternary operator return an lvalue reference
* Warn when returning temporaries from member functions
* Improve handling of pointer to function
* Extend lifetimes of const references
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.
This switches to use lifetime analysis to check for assigning to non-local variables:
```cpp
class test
{
public:
void f()
{
int x;
this->ptr = &x;
}
protected:
int *ptr;
};
```
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;
}
```
* Use lifetime analysis for pointers as well
* Fix issue 1143: Pointer to local array
* Update message when using pointers
* Avoid infinite loop in tracing lifetimes
* Inital valueflow lifetime checker
* Forward values
* Add initial tests
* Fix deplicate messages
* Fix traversing nested lambdas
* Turn test case into a todo
* Skip if returning a container
* Fix FP when using references
* Add missing header
* Fix FP from broken scopes
* Fix FP with static variable
* Add test for more FPs
* Parse lambda functions
* Check for capture by value
* Add tests for using a container and lambda together
* Fix cppcheck errors
* Add test for nextAfterAstRightmostLeaf
* Add valueflow tests
* Update error message
* Check for correct lambda token
* Improve error path reporting
* Fix hang when parsing arrays that look almlost like lambdas
- Removed definitely unnecessary forward declarations (e.g. "class Token"; token.h is already included by check.h, so a definition is unnecessary)
- Removed unused includes
