// This file defines NumberObjectConversionChecker, which checks for a
// particular common mistake when dealing with numbers represented as objects
// passed around by pointers. Namely, the language allows to reinterpret the
// pointer as a number directly, often without throwing any warnings,
// but in most cases the result of such conversion is clearly unexpected,
// as pointer value, rather than number value represented by the pointee object,
// becomes the result of such operation.
//
// Currently the checker supports the Objective-C NSNumber class,
// and the OSBoolean class found in macOS low-level code; the latter
// can only hold boolean values.
//
// This checker has an option "Pedantic" (boolean), which enables detection of
// more conversion patterns (which are most likely more harmless, and therefore
// are more likely to produce false positives) - disabled by default,
// enabled with `-analyzer-config osx.NumberObjectConversion:Pedantic=true'.
