Unsound: add non-null pointers from PDG to updates_forbidden
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the dynamic analysis tells us a pointer is never NULL
(i.e. it never shows up in an is_null graph), then
force the NON_NULL permission on it using updates_forbidden.
This is potentially an unsound transformation because the
pointer may actually be NULL on other inputs not covered
by the sample ones.
