This is trying to fix the issue by fixing the ast and symbol database. First, the ast nodes will be created for the init list and the symbol database will not mark it as a scope. I am not sure if this is the correct approach as I dont really understand how the AST part works.
It did change the AST for `try {} catch (...) {}` but that is because it incorrectly treats `try {}` as an initializer list.
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.
Add a call to simplifyPlatformTypes() in
SymbolDatabase::setValueTypeInTokenList() to simplify return types of
library configured functions. This fixes the FN in #8141. Regression
tests are added, both for the original issue and another FN in the comments.
In order to do that, move simplifyPlatformTypes() to TokenList from Tokenizer.
This is a pure refactoring and does not change any behaviour. The code was
literally copy-pasted from one file to another and in two places
'list.front()' was changed to 'front()'.
When adding the call to simplifyPlatformTypes(), the original type of
v.size() where v is a container is changed from 'size_t' to 'std::size_t'.
Tests are updated accordingly. It can be noted that if v is declared as
'class fred : public std::vector<int> {} v', the original type of 'v.size()'
is still 'size_t' and not 'std::size_t'.
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;
}
```
isVariableDeclaration did not handle pointer to const pointer, or
pointer to volatile pointer. This resulted in FPs in examples like the
following:
class Fred {
public:
const char *const *data;
const char *const *getData() { return data; };
}
where cppcheck would say getData could be static, since it didn't
recognize const char *const *data as a variable declaration.
