Changes include:
- `getFunctionCall` has been moved in IRHelpers.h
- `getFallthrough` and `getFunctionCallCallee`
have been simplified and added in IRHelpers.h (their old versions
have been removed respectively from FCI.h and revng.h)
- `FCI::getCall` and `FCI::isCall` have been removed
due to redundancy with `getFunctionCall`.
This commit introduces the PruneRetSuccessors pass, whose role is to
identify all the indirect jumps whose devirtualized destinations
correspond to return addresses. In fact, they are most likely to be
return instructions and devirtualizing them is always detrimental.
`MetaAddress` replaces all the `uint64_t` used to represent a virtual
address. Its main features are:
* It has a non-zero representation of invalid addresses.
* It supports tags to represent code that has different interpretations but
resides at the same address in memory (namely ARM vs Thumb).
* Arithmetic operations cannot overflow.
* It supports epochs, a way we intend to employ to handle self-modifying code
(i.e., different code at the same address at different times).
* It supports "address spaces", which enable handling architectures with
multiple address spaces.
* It fits in two 64-bit registers.
LLVM 9 drops the `TerminatorInst` class. This commit replaces it with
`Instruction` where possible and asserts
`Instruction::isTerminator()`. It also switches from
`TerminatorInst::successors` to `successors(TerminatorInst *)`.
This commit enlarges the set of external function calls we
detect. Basically, instead of assuming that the instruction jumping to
the external function is the call, we now also consider instructions in
previous basic blocks, as long as there's only one possible path
backward.
This commit does the following:
* It drops `revamb-dump` and transforms all the passes it featured in
passes that can be used directly from `opt`.
* It rename `revamb` to `revng-lift`.
* It introduces a script called `revng` which acts as a driver for the
whole rev.ng project. It replaces `translate`, `revcc`,
`csv-to-ld-options` and `revamb-dump`, since it offers an `opt`
subcommand which allows to easily invoke all the analysis passes.
* It makes the project a CMake package that can be easily used
externally.
* It allows to easily create libraries of analysis to use through
`revng-opt`.
