V522 Dereferencing of the null pointer 'PdbFileBuffer' might take place. PDBFileBuilder.cpp 106

Expected<std::unique_ptr<PDBFile>>
PDBFileBuilder::build(
  std::unique_ptr<msf::WritableStream> PdbFileBuffer)

  ....
  auto File = llvm::make_unique<PDBFile>(
    std::move(PdbFileBuffer), Allocator);

  File->ContainerLayout = *ExpectedLayout;

  if (Info) {
    auto ExpectedInfo = Info->build(*File, *PdbFileBuffer);
  ....
}

The code is not clear to me, as I have not studied what llvm::make_unique is, and how it works in general. Nevertheless, both myself and the analyzer are confused by the fact that at first glance the possession of an object from a smart pointer PdbFileBuffer goes to File. After that we have dereferencing of a null pointer PdbFileBuffer that already contains nullptr

V522 CWE-476 Dereferencing of the null pointer 'context' might take place. device_media_async_file_util.cc 322

        &NativeMediaFileUtil::CreatedSnapshotFileForCreateOrOpen,
        base::RetainedRef(context->task_runner()),

}

The order of arguments evaluation when calling the CreateSnapshotFile function defines whether a dereference of a null pointer will be or not. In C++ the function argument evaluation order is not defined (unspecified behavior). If in the beginning the argument std::move(context) is evaluated, a dereference of a null pointer will occur.

The bug is interesting because if calloc returns NULL, then the program will not necessarily immediately fall. A record occurs not by a null pointer, but by a shift equal to NumBuckets. And this can be a great value.
