Class TaintTracking::TaintInheritingContent

A Content that should be implicitly regarded as tainted whenever an object with such Content is itself tainted.

For example, if we had a type class Container { Contained field; }, then by default a tainted Container and a Container with a tainted Contained stored in its field are distinct.

If any(DataFlow::FieldContent fc | fc.getField().hasQualifiedName("Container", "field")) was included in this type however, then a tainted Container would imply that its field is also tainted (but not vice versa).

Note that TaintTracking::Configuration applies this behavior by default to array, collection, map-key and map-value content, so that e.g. a tainted Map is assumed to have tainted keys and values.
