// This file defines GCDAntipatternChecker which checks against a common
// antipattern when synchronous API is emulated from asynchronous callbacks
// using a semaphore:
//
//   dispatch_semaphore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
//
//   AnyCFunctionCall(^{
//     // code…
//     dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
//   })
//   dispatch_semaphore_wait(sema, *)
//
// Such code is a common performance problem, due to inability of GCD to
// properly handle QoS when a combination of queues and semaphores is used.
// Good code would either use asynchronous API (when available), or perform
// the necessary action in asynchronous callback.
//
// Currently, the check is performed using a simple heuristical AST pattern
// matching.
