//
// This is a utility class for instrumentation passes (like AddressSanitizer
// or ThreadSanitizer) to avoid instrumenting some functions or global
// variables based on a user-supplied list.
//
// The list can also specify categories for specific globals, which can be used
// to instruct an instrumentation pass to treat certain functions or global
// variables in a specific way, such as by omitting certain aspects of
// instrumentation while keeping others, or informing the instrumentation pass
// that a specific uninstrumentable function has certain semantics, thus
// allowing the pass to instrument callers according to those semantics.
//
// For example, AddressSanitizer uses the "init" category for globals whose
// initializers should not be instrumented, but which in all other respects
// should be instrumented.
//
// Each line contains a prefix, followed by a colon and a wild card expression,
// followed optionally by an equals sign and an instrumentation-specific
// category.  Empty lines and lines starting with "#" are ignored.
// ---
// # Blacklisted items:
// fun:*_ZN4base6subtle*
// global:*global_with_bad_access_or_initialization*
// global:*global_with_initialization_issues*=init
// type:*Namespace::ClassName*=init
// src:file_with_tricky_code.cc
// src:ignore-global-initializers-issues.cc=init
//
// # Functions with pure functional semantics:
// fun:cos=functional
// fun:sin=functional
// ---
// Note that the wild card is in fact an llvm::Regex, but * is automatically
// replaced with .*
// This is similar to the "ignore" feature of ThreadSanitizer.
