//
// This file implements tracking of pointer bounds.
// It knows that the libc functions "calloc" and "realloc" allocate memory, thus
// you should avoid using this pass if they mean something else for your
// language.
//
// All methods assume that the pointer is not NULL, if it is then the returned
// allocation size is wrong, and the result from checkLimits is wrong too.
// It also assumes that pointers are valid, and that it is not analyzing a
// use-after-free scenario.
// Due to these limitations the "size" returned by these methods should be
// considered as either 0 or the returned size.
//
// Another analysis pass should be used to find use-after-free/NULL dereference
// bugs.
