Jakob Olesen d74722c329 Bug 1205081 - Imprecise results from check_vanilla_allocations.py. r=njn
Use |nm -A| instead of |nm -l| to avoid depending on imprecise debug
information in optimized builds. (And to get the 100x faster
performance.)

Fix a problem with the filename regex so we can also detect symbol
references in from source files with a hyphen in their name.

When bad allocation references are detected, display results from |nm -l|
so we still get the useful line number information.

# All heap allocations in SpiderMonkey must go through js_malloc, js_calloc,
# js_realloc, and js_free. This is so that any embedder who uses a custom
# allocator (by defining JS_USE_CUSTOM_ALLOCATOR) will see all heap allocation
# go through that custom allocator.
#
# Therefore, the presence of any calls to "vanilla" allocation/free functions
# (e.g. malloc(), free()) is a bug.
#
# This script checks for the presence of such disallowed vanilla
# allocation/free function in SpiderMonkey when it's built as a library. It
# relies on |nm| from the GNU binutils, and so only works on Linux, but one
# platform is good enough to catch almost all violations.
#
# This checking is only 100% reliable in a JS_USE_CUSTOM_ALLOCATOR build in
# which the default definitions of js_malloc et al (in Utility.h) -- which call
# malloc et al -- are replaced with empty definitions. This is because the
# presence and possible inlining of the default js_malloc et al can cause
# malloc/calloc/realloc/free calls show up in unpredictable places.
#
# Unfortunately, that configuration cannot be tested on Mozilla's standard
# testing infrastructure. Instead, by default this script only tests that none
# of the other vanilla allocation/free functions (operator new, memalign, etc)
# are present. If given the --aggressive flag, it will also check for
# malloc/calloc/realloc/free.
#
# Note: We don't check for |operator delete| and |operator delete[]|. These
# can be present somehow due to virtual destructors, but this is not too
# because vanilla delete/delete[] calls don't make sense without corresponding
# vanilla new/new[] calls, and any explicit calls will be caught by Valgrind's
# mismatched alloc/free checking.

# The obvious way to implement this script is to search for occurrences of

# However, "none are found" does not necessarily mean "none are present" --
# this script could be buggy. (Or the output format of |nm| might change in
# the future.)
#
# So jsutil.cpp deliberately contains a (never-called) function that contains a
# single use of all the vanilla allocation/free functions. And this script
# fails if it (a) finds uses of those functions in files other than jsutil.cpp,
# *or* (b) fails to find them in jsutil.cpp.
# Tracks overall success of the test.
