In C++20 range-based for loops, variables declared in the init-statement were not correctly added to the CFG builder's local scope. Consequently, implicit destructors for these variables were missing from the CFG.

This caused analyses relying on the CFG to incorrectly model the lifetime of these variables. Specifically, Thread Safety Analysis reported false positives for RAII locks declared in the init-statement.

Fix it by calling addLocalScopeForStmt for the init-statement in CFGBuilder::VisitCXXForRangeStmt. This ensures destructors are correctly inserted into the CFG.

Subject: [PATCH] [Analysis] Fix missing destructor in CFG for C++20 range-for
 init-statement

In C++20 range-based for loops, variables declared in the init-statement
were not correctly added to the CFG builder's local scope. Consequently,
implicit destructors for these variables were missing from the CFG.

This caused analyses relying on the CFG to incorrectly model the
lifetime of these variables. Specifically, Thread Safety Analysis
reported false positives for RAII locks declared in the init-statement.

Fix it by calling addLocalScopeForStmt for the init-statement in
CFGBuilder::VisitCXXForRangeStmt. This ensures destructors are correctly
inserted into the CFG.
