Log:
[analyzer] Warn on passing a reference to null pointer as an argument in a call
Warn about null pointer dereference earlier when a reference to a null pointer is
passed in a call. The idea is that even though the standard might allow this, reporting
the issue earlier is better for diagnostics (the error is reported closer to the place where
the pointer was set to NULL). This also simplifies analyzer’s diagnostic logic, which has
to track “where the null came from”. As a consequence, some of our null pointer
warning suppression mechanisms started triggering more often.
TODO: Change the name of the file and class to reflect the new check.
