Description of changes:
s2n-tls has strict conventions for checking the nullness of pointers returned from fallible methods. See comment here: #4369 (comment). We rely on developers and reviewers to remember to correctly check all of these functions.
Rather than having this be a manual check, we can automate it's enforcement. This PR adds a simple python script that will automatically error when there is a place where nullness isn't checked.
Example output from the tool
This tool also includes an option to automatically
--fix
some of the violations. In the following PR I will apply the autofixes and also add a CI step enforcing this lint. In the meantime you can see the results here. 431 null checks were added.Testing:
I applied the script and then manually spot checked some of the resulting files (the results can be seen in the linked branch). I also made sure that the resulting build compiled and passed all tests.
