Handle double pointer dereferences

Consider the following code
```
void target(int * _Nullable * _Nonnull x){
    **x;
}
```
and its CFG representation:
```
void target(int * _Nullable * _Nonnull x)
 [B2 (ENTRY)]
   Succs (1): B1

 [B1]
   1: x
   2: [B1.1] (ImplicitCastExpr, LValueToRValue, int * _Nullable * _Nonnull)
   3: *[B1.2]
   4: [B1.3] (ImplicitCastExpr, LValueToRValue, int * _Nullable)
   5: *[B1.4]
   Preds (1): B2
   Succs (1): B0

 [B0 (EXIT)]
   Preds (1): B1
```
Previously, we gathered the topmost nullability of simple expressions by pattern matching on `DeclRefExpr` AST nodes and reading their nullability annotations. In the CFG above, block B1.1 corresponds to a `DeclRefExpr`. However, note that there is no `DeclRefExpr` directly preceding the second dereference of `x`. This means that, when we previously tried to process block B1.5, we crashed on `diagnoseDereference()` due to lack of information.

Now, we try to use annotations to initialise the nullability of any kind of pointer expression, not just `DeclRefExpr`s. This allows us to handle double dereferences.

Still, we are not yet computing the correct base (i.e., child node) type for some expressions, so not all double dereferences work as expected. In particular, further work is needed to handle double derenfereces of templated expressions. Currently, we return a null pointer when the base type is not correctly computed, and the callee does a null pointer check to avoid crashes.

Crubit: C++/Rust Bidirectional Interop Tool

Build status

Extremely experimental interop tooling for C++ and Rust.

Please don‘t use, this is an experiment and we don’t yet know where will it take us. There will be breaking changes without warning. Unfortunately, we can't take contributions at this point.

Building Crubit

$ apt install clang lld bazel
$ git clone git@github.com:google/crubit.git
$ cd crubit
$ bazel build --linkopt=-fuse-ld=/usr/bin/ld.lld //rs_bindings_from_cc:rs_bindings_from_cc_impl

Using a prebuilt LLVM tree

$ git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project
$ cd llvm-project
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake -S llvm -B build -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='clang' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
$ cmake --build build -j
$ # wait...
$ cmake --install build
$ cd ../crubit
$ LLVM_INSTALL_PATH=../llvm-project/install bazel build //rs_bindings_from_cc:rs_bindings_from_cc_impl
