9// This checker adds an assumption that constant globals of certain types* are
10// non-null, as otherwise they generally do not convey any useful information.
11// The assumption is useful, as many framework use e. g. global const strings,
12// and the analyzer might not be able to infer the global value if the
13// definition is in a separate translation unit.
14// The following types (and their typedef aliases) are considered to be
15// non-null:
16// - `char* const`
17// - `const CFStringRef` from CoreFoundation
18// - `NSString* const` from Foundation
19// - `CFBooleanRef` from Foundation
