10 // This checker tries to find nullability violations. There are several kinds of
11 // possible violations:
12 // * Null pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.
13 // * Null pointer is returned from a function which has a _Nonnull return type.
14 // * Nullable pointer is passed to a pointer which has a _Nonnull type.
15 // * Nullable pointer is returned from a function which has a _Nonnull return
16 //   type.
17 // * Nullable pointer is dereferenced.
18 //
19 // This checker propagates the nullability information of the pointers and looks
20 // for the patterns that are described above. Explicit casts are trusted and are
21 // considered a way to suppress false positives for this checker. The other way
22 // to suppress warnings would be to add asserts or guarding if statements to the
23 // code. In addition to the nullability propagation this checker also uses some
24 // heuristics to suppress potential false positives.
