[PATCH] D110357: [Analyzer] Extend ConstraintAssignor to handle remainder op

[Denys Petrov via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

ASDenysPetrov added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer/Core/RangeConstraintManager.cpp:1618-1627
+    const SymbolRef LHS = Sym->getLHS();
+    const llvm::APSInt &Zero =
+        Builder.getBasicValueFactory().getValue(0, Sym->getType());
+    // a % b != 0 implies that a != 0.
+    if (!Constraint.containsZero()) {
+      State = RCM.assumeSymNE(State, LHS, Zero, Zero);
+      if (!State)

OK. I see. Thanks :)
