[analyzer] Improved diagnostic pruning for calls initializing values.
This heuristic addresses the case when a pointer (or ref) is passed to a function, which initializes the variable (or sets it to something other than '0'). On the branch where the inlined function does not set the value, we report use of undefined value (or NULL pointer dereference). The access happens in the caller and the path through the callee would get pruned away with regular path pruning. To solve this issue, we previously disabled diagnostic pruning completely on undefined and null pointer dereference checks, which entailed very verbose diagnostics in most cases. Furthermore, not all of the undef value checks had the diagnostic pruning disabled. This patch implements the following heuristic: if we pass a pointer (or ref) to the region (on which the error is reported) into a function and it's value is either undef or 'NULL' (and is a pointer), do not prune the function. llvm-svn: 162863
