On some projects (notably
git/git
) it can happen that aPhiInstruction
has inexact operands (See https://github.com/github/codeql-c-analysis-team/issues/30):This causes
isChiForAllAliasedMemory
to fail because it expects theChi
chain to have exact operands forPhiInstruction
s.The real fix is most likely to avoid this situation altogether, but this easy workaround PR modifies the definition of
isChiForAllAliasedMemory
to allow recursion through inexactPhiInstruction
operands. I haven't observed any need to modify the case forChiInstruction
s, so I'll leave that one to only recurse through exact operands.
