  11  * Imagine we have this code:
  12  * foo = 0;
  13  * if (bar)
  14  *         foo = 1;
  15  *                   //  <-- point #1
  16  * else
  17  *         frob();
  18  *                   //  <-- point #2
  19  * if (foo == 1)     //  <-- point #3
  20  *         bar->baz; //  <-- point #4
  21  *
  22  * Currently (Oct 2008) in smatch when we merge bar states
  23  * null and nonnull, at point #2, the state becomes undefined.
  24  * As a result we get an error at point #3.
  25  *
  26  * The idea behind "implied state pools" is to fix that.
  27  *
  28  * The implied pools get created in merge_slist().  Whatever
  29  * is unique to one slist being merged gets put into a pool.
  30  *
  31  * If we set a state that removes it from all pools.
  32  *
  33  * When we come to an if statement where "foo" has some pools
  34  * associated we take all the pools where "foo == 1" and keep
  35  * all the states that are consistent across those pools.
  36  *
  37  * The point of doing this is to turn an undefined state into
  38  * a defined state.  This hopefully gets rid of some false positives.
  39  * What it doesn't do is find new errors that were
  40  * missed before.
  41  *
  42  * There are quite a few implementation details I haven't figured
  43  * out.  How do you create implied state pools inside a
  44  * complex condition?  How do you determine what is implied
  45  * from a complex condition?  The initial patch is extremely rudimentary...
