Rechercherichtung

Beginne mit der Verwendung von getUnconvertedResultExpression in der mitgelieferten CodeQL-Abfrage und dem Testfall test_direct_bool_context. Vergleiche die IR- und Abfrageergebnisse für die Bedingungen in Zeile 28 und Zeile 29 und überprüfe anschließend, dass der Testfall für jede erwartete Zeile genau eine Warnung meldet, ohne das Duplikat in Zeile 28.

Beschreibung

question

(Kind of related to #21241 and #21240)

While testing my query, I noticed that I had a duplicate result for line 28 (if (&x)).
(Only visible when looking at the .expected file of my test output)
The IR supposedly had two address-of instruction at that line.
I don't understand why and looking at the IR the only difference between line 28 and 29 is that there is one CompareNE instruction in the one case and one CompareEQ instruction in the other case (as expected).
