SValBuilder::getKnownValue, getMinValue, getMaxValue use SValBuilder::simplifySVal.
simplifySVal does repeated simplification until a fixed-point is reached. A single step is done by SimpleSValBuilder::simplifySValOnce, using a Simplifier visitor. That will basically decompose SymSymExprs, and apply constant folding using the constraints we have in the State. Once it decomposes a SymSymExpr, it simplifies both sides and then uses the SValBuilder::evalBinOp to reconstruct the same - but now simpler - SymSymExpr, while applying some caching to remain performant.
This decomposition, and then the subsequent re-composition poses new challenges to the SValBuilder::evalBinOp, which is built to handle expressions coming from real C/C++ code, thus applying some implicit assumptions.
One previous assumption was that nobody would form an expression like "((int*)0) - q" (where q is an int pointer), because it doesn't really makes sense to write code like that.
However, during simplification, we may end up with a call to evalBinOp similar to this.
To me, simplifying a SymbolRef should never result in Unknown or Undef, unless it was Unknown or Undef initially or, during simplification we realized that it's a division by zero once we did the constant folding, etc.
In the following case the simplified SVal should not become UnknownVal:
```c++
void top(char *p, char *q) {
int diff = p - q; // diff: reg<p> - reg<q>
if (!p) // p: NULL
simplify(diff); // diff after simplification should be: 0(loc) - reg<q>
}
```
Returning Unknown from the simplifySVal can weaken analysis precision in other places too, such as in SValBuilder::getKnownValue, getMinValue, or getMaxValue because we call simplifySVal before doing anything else.
For nonloc::SymbolVals, this loss of precision is critical, because for those the SymbolRef carries an accurate type of the encoded computation, thus we should at least have a conservative upper or lower bound that we could return from getMinValue or getMaxValue - yet we would just return nullptr.
```c++
const llvm::APSInt *SimpleSValBuilder::getKnownValue(ProgramStateRef state,
SVal V) {
return getConstValue(state, simplifySVal(state, V));
}
const llvm::APSInt *SimpleSValBuilder::getMinValue(ProgramStateRef state,
SVal V) {
V = simplifySVal(state, V);
if (const llvm::APSInt *Res = getConcreteValue(V))
return Res;
if (SymbolRef Sym = V.getAsSymbol())
return state->getConstraintManager().getSymMinVal(state, Sym);
return nullptr;
}
```
For now, I don't plan to make the simplification bullet-proof, I'm just explaining why I made this change and what you need to look out for in the future if you see a similar issue.
