Module ForwardDataFlow

Provides machinery for performing forward data-flow exploration.

Importing this module effectively makes all data-flow and taint-tracking configurations ignore their isSink predicate. Instead, flow is tracked from source nodes as far as possible, until a terminal node (that is, a node without any outgoing flow) is reached. All terminal nodes are then treated as sink nodes.

Data-flow exploration cannot be used with configurations depending on other configurations.

NOTE: This library should only be used for debugging and exploration, not in production code.
