However, marking a symbol as interesting in the BugReport (BugReport::<span style="color: rgb(49, 89, 93); font-family: Menlo;">markInteresting</span>) is intended to address this case. Have you tried marking your symbol as interesting? Is it sufficient?</div><br><blockquote type="cite">2.

For example, we should be able to identify the ExplodedNode where the value ('0') was first assigned to the symbol which we are tracking, as this information will be recoded in the constraint manager.</div><div><br></div><div>See MallocChecker.cpp, BugReporterVisitors.cpp for more info and examples of the visitors.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Anna.<br><blockquote type="cite"><br>Thanks, Gerard.<br><br><br><br><br>--<br>View this message in context: <a href="http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/Traces-of-SVal-in-BugReporterVisitor-tp4030520.html">http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/Traces-of-SVal-in-BugReporterVisitor-tp4030520.html</a><br>Sent from the Clang Developers mailing list archive at <a href="http://Nabble.com">Nabble.com</a>.<br>_______________________________________________<br>cfe-dev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:cfe-dev@cs.uiuc.edu">cfe-dev@cs.uiuc.edu</a><br>http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev<br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
