Research direction
The affected rule is tested in cpp/autosar/test/rules/A12-8-6/test.cpp, including the referenced examples; start by reading those cases and the TrivialType library. Extend handling for the additional compiler-generated special-function cases described, then run the A12-8-6 tests and confirm the intended functions are consistently flagged.

Description
Affected rules
A12-8-6
Description
Compiler generated special functions are not always flagged by this rule, because the extractor does not always generate them.
In CodeQL CLI v2.16.6 and before, this mainly affected non-template classes. However, after the upgrade to CodeQL CLI v2.18.4, special functions are not consistently generated for template classes either.
This can be addressed by extending the TrivialType library to support additional cases where the function would be compiler generated, but where it currently isn't detected.
