Fix a performance issue with
cpp/cleartext-storage-buffer
, that was causing it to fail on several LGTM projects. The issue was that one of the constraints on the sink (that the written buffer is aSensitiveExpr
) was only expressed in the query, not in the dataflow configuration. The solution is to define the sources properly. Following that and a bit more cleanup, I also believe the result is more readable than what we had before.Improves performance on
mruby_mruby
locally from ~750s to ~45s.I will also do a DCA run on this pull request.
