[llvm] r340807 - Fix in getAllocationDataForFunction

[David Chisnall via llvm-commits]

Please revert it if it’s causing problems for you, and reopen the review.  We’re seeing false negatives with the version from before the change, which is breaking memory safety analyses.  It may be that we need to add a second API to handle this correctly.

With the old implementation, this allowed us to recognize new-like functions as also being malloc-like, but not the other way around. The other combination masks in the AllocType enum allow for matching any of multiple types, but no function will be defined as being, for instance, MallocOrCallocLike.

That is, if all of the bits in the FnData->AllocTy were in the callers mask, then it matched. Otherwise, it did not. I think that's the behavior we want.
