/**
 * This checker implements the "can run script" analysis.  The idea is to detect
 * functions that can run script that are being passed reference-counted
 * arguments (including "this") whose refcount might go to zero as a result of
 * the script running.  We want to prevent that.
 *
 * The approach is to attempt to enforce the following invariants on the call
 * graph:
 *
 * 1) Any caller of a MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT function is itself MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT.
 * 2) If a virtual MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT method overrides a base class method,
 *    that base class method is also MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT.
 *
 * Invariant 2 ensures that we don't accidentally call a MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT
 * function via a base-class virtual call.  Invariant 1 ensures that
 * the property of being able to run script propagates up the callstack.  There
 * is an opt-out for invariant 1: A function (declaration _or_ implementation)
 * can be decorated with MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY to indicate that we do not
 * require it or any of its callers to be MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT even if it calls
 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT functions.
 *
 * There are two known holes in invariant 1, apart from the
 * MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT_BOUNDARY opt-out:
 *
 *  - Functions called via function pointers can be MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT even if
 *    their caller is not, because we have no way to determine from the function
 *    pointer what function is being called.
 *  - MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT destructors can happen in functions that are not
 *    MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT.
 *    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535523 tracks this.
 *
 * Given those invariants we then require that when calling a MOZ_CAN_RUN_SCRIPT
 * function all refcounted arguments (including "this") satisfy one of these
 * conditions:
 *  a) The argument is held via a strong pointer on the stack.
 *  b) The argument is a const strong pointer member of "this".  We know "this"
 *     is being kept alive, and a const strong pointer member can't drop its ref
 *     until "this" dies.
 *  c) The argument is an argument of the caller (and hence held by a strong
 *     pointer somewhere higher up the callstack).
 *  d) The argument is explicitly annotated with MOZ_KnownLive, which indicates
 *     that something is guaranteed to keep it alive (e.g. it's rooted via a JS
 *     reflector).
 *  e) The argument is constexpr and therefore cannot disappear.
