Compute offset to contracts

[frabert]

The alternative would be to make Contract inherit from TopLevel, but I'm not confident that wouldn't break other things

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Enhanced type checking to include Contract objects, improving reliability.

Walkthrough

The core adjustment in this update involves refining type checks within the Slither tool. By expanding the isinstance function to recognize Contract objects alongside TopLevel entities, the modification enhances Slither's ability to accurately identify and interact with different components of Solidity contracts, potentially improving analysis precision and error detection capabilities.

Possibly related issues

• [Bug]: lowering of InitArray fails #2210: The issue focuses on addressing a type-related error during compilation which might indirectly benefit from the improved type checks introduced in this PR. Enhanced type recognition could aid in preventing or more accurately reporting similar errors in future analyses.

Poem

In the code where bytes and bits align,
A rabbit hopped, leaving trails in time.
With a tweak and hop, it made a change,
Now Contract and TopLevel within range.

"To improve, to fix, to make it right,"
Whispered the rabbit, under the moonlight.
🌙✨🐇
With each hop forward, the code did shine,
Reflecting the glow of the moon so fine.

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit-tests for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments)

• @coderabbitai pause to pause the reviews on a PR.
• @coderabbitai resume to resume the paused reviews.

• 212-212: The extension of the isinstance check to include Contract alongside TopLevel aligns with the PR's objectives and appears to be correctly implemented. However, it's crucial to verify that this change does not inadvertently affect other parts of the system that rely on the original isinstance behavior.

I included this in #2376 bc I wanted to run the tests with it but the histories were incompatible and prevented merging the branches
