I'm really not sure whether it's better to mention the deallocator's expected 
allocator, or the allocated region's expected deallocator. Which mistake do you 
think people are more likely to make?

(Also, I came up with that phrasing in ten seconds; it could totally change.)
The second one of course. I definitely prefer to print the allocated region's 
expected deallocator.
The single downside I see is that this breaks the uniformity of reports and 
complicate ReportBadFree(). (other reports about, for example, freeing 
addresses of labels, could not be printed in the new fashion)
Hm. I think we should still go with the second one.

One last major comment: in talking offline to Ted (Kremenek) about this, he pointed out 
that it has the potential to be a very noisy new warning. In the same way that we have 
unix.Malloc and alpha.unix.MallocWithAnnotations, it might be good to separate out 
cplusplus.NewDelete and...we don't have a good category for MismatchedFree, but maybe 
unix.MismatchedFree. That way we can control these checks individually; look for 
"MallocOptimistic" to see how it's currently being used.
Have not got the idea yet. Please clarify what should cplusplus.NewDelete and unix.MismatchedFree check for individually, and what about other allocation families. Can we just separate out the whole new check to something like .MismatchedDeallocator?



Comments comments comments:

Not sure if I introduced this or you, but we generally name enums in the 
singular (AllocationFamily rather than AllocationFamilies).


-  static RefState getReleased(const Stmt *s) { return RefState(Released, s); }
+  static RefState getReleased(const Stmt *s) {
+    return RefState(Released, s, AF_None);
+  }
    static RefState getRelinquished(const Stmt *s) {
-    return RefState(Relinquished, s);
+    return RefState(Relinquished, s, AF_None);
    }

I'm wondering if you might as well preserve the families here. We're not using 
them now, but at the very least it could be nice for debugging.

The second check takes care of the first here.


+      OverloadedOperatorKind K = FD->getDeclName().getCXXOverloadedOperator();

Can be shortened to FD->getOverloadedOperator() again.

Ah, I see why you were avoiding this. Nevertheless, I think this is a better 
experience for the user, and if we go with the new output this will get 
restructured a bit anyway. (As a tiny comment, you can probably shrink the 
SmallString to use less stack space, since most functions have much shorter 
names.)
