// This defines ReturnValueChecker, which models a very specific coding
// convention within the LLVM/Clang codebase: there several classes that have
// Error() methods which always return true.
// This checker was introduced to eliminate false positives caused by this
// peculiar "always returns true" invariant. (Normally, the analyzer assumes
// that a function returning `bool` can return both `true` and `false`, because
// otherwise it could've been a `void` function.)
