     if (!LDat) {
-      Analyzer->Handler.handleMutexNotHeld("", D, POK, Cp.toString(),
-                                           LK_Shared, Loc);
+      Analyzer->Handler.handleMutexNotHeld("negative capability", D, POK,
+                                           Cp.toString(), LK_Shared, Loc);

> It's a bit odd that we aren't using `DiagKind` as below, I assume that's because this is a negative test and the others are positive tests, but doesn't this introduce a terminology difference where a positive failure may call it a mutex and a negative failure may call it a negative capability? Should this be hooked in to `ClassifyDiagnostic()` (perhaps we need a `ClassifyNegativeDiagnostic()`?
My thinking was that whatever the positive capability is called, we should only talk about a "negative capability" instead of a "negative mutex" or a "negative role". Also because not holding a capability is in some way its own kind of capability.


================
Comment at: clang/test/SemaCXX/warn-thread-safety-negative.cpp:46
   void foo() {
     mu.Lock();    // expected-warning {{acquiring mutex 'mu' requires negative capability '!mu'}}
     baz();        // expected-warning {{cannot call function 'baz' while mutex 'mu' is held}}
----------------
Here we're always referring to a "negative capability", I believe it's hardcoded into the message.
