This fixes issues (at least false positives) in code using them.
For instance:
```
unsigned compute(unsigned long long a) {
unsigned num = 0;
while (a > 0xFFFFFFFF) {
a >>= 32;
num += 32;
}
if (a > 0xFFFF) {
a >>= 16;
num += 16;
}
if (a > 0xFF) {
num += 8;
}
return num;
}
```
would give false positive:
```
cppcheck --enable=style sl3.cpp
Checking sl3.cpp ...
sl3.cpp:11:11: style: Condition 'a>0xFF' is always false [knownConditionTrueFalse]
if (a > 0xFF) {
^
sl3.cpp:3:14: note: Assuming that condition 'a>0xFFFFFFFF' is not redundant
while (a > 0xFFFFFFFF) {
^
sl3.cpp:11:11: note: Condition 'a>0xFF' is always false
if (a > 0xFF) {
^
```
In some cases, the condition of the ternary operator is assigned a known
value after the two possible results, and in such cases, we would not
take the opportunity to assign a value to the ternary operator (and to
the other parents in the ast).
This patch adds this capability.
- Remove errorPath of a value on assignment (this fixes enormous memory consumption for code with many subsequent assignments)
- De-virtualized a simple get function that was virtual for no reason
- Cloned function isAliasOf() for single values to avoid instantiating unnecessary std::list objects (
- Replaced a couple of trivial Token::Match/simpleMatch expressions by direct comparison
- Treat enumerators as literal values
Comparing before and after (Ir per call) when scanning the Cppcheck source:
SingleValueFlowForwardAnalyzer.isAlias()
1246 -> 1101
MultiValueFlowForwardAnalyzer.isAlias()
4202 -> 1617
Ensure bifurcate() does not recurse endlessly where a variable is
initialized recursively, or a variable is initialized as x(0) or x{0}
followed by a recursive assignment (for example int x(0); x = x / 1;).
The first case is solved by bailing out if there initialization is done
using x(0) or x{0}, the second by adding a missing depth argument to a
recursive call.

* Set correct type and size of string and char literals
Use that string and char literal tokens store the prefix. This makes
it possible to distinghuish between different type of string literals
(i.e., utf8 encoded strings, utf16, wide strings, etc) which have
different type.
When the tokens holding the string and character values have the correct
type, it is possible to improve Token::getStrSize() to give the correct
result for all string types. Previously, it would return the number of
characters in the string, i.e., it would give the wrong size unless
the type of the string was char*.
Since strings now can have different size (in number of bytes) and
length (in number of elements), add a new helper function that returns
the number of characters. Checkers have been updated to use the correct
functions.
Having the size makes it possible to find more problems with prefixed
strings, and to reduce false positives, for example in the buffer
overflow checker.
Also, improve the stringLiteralWrite error message to also print the
prefix of the string (if there is one).

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.
