Frontends

Checkers

• Liveness: properly handle exceptional control flow
• Pulse:
  • Added preliminary Java support
  • New Uninitialized value bug type, aiming to replace the previous Uninit checker as this one is inter-procedural and more precise.
  • OPTIONAL_EMPTY_ACCESS is now enabled by default
• NEW checker Topl(early alpha): An experimental checker framework: write your own analysis as a state machine representing a temporal property over multiple memory objects at once, eg to write a taint analysis. Topl is based on Pulse.
