Fix two memory leak, and many lint warning.

Created a tiny Guidelines Support Library
Add some helper function to make sure we do qt ownership correctly.

Thanks for making this effort to make Dive ui code use "new" in a more intentioned way

 // Forward declarations for UI.

+class OverlayHelper;


this seems repeated (line 74)

Eh, I probably selected the wrong range when running sort+deduplicate in the editor.

+    return ptr;  // NOLINT
+}

+// Create a new Qt object.


I like the examples section for how to create new layouts using LayoutHelper. Can we have a similar brief example section for QtNew and QtNewUnowned?

They are just new with static_assert.
Will add a bit more document.

+#include "ui/overlay.h"

+using DiveLint::QtNew;


Is there any downside to avoiding "using" and just calling the full DiveLint::QtNew() when using this or is it just wordy? I slightly prefer the wordy version since I think it makes it clearer that QtNew() isn't something defined by Qt despite the prefix

Though I guess it might be confusing to see the word "Lint" in there. Could it not just be Dive::QtNew() or DiveQt::QtNew or something?

Those are annotations, and more specifically lint annotations. They don't do anything other than doing additional lint checks.

Also regarding to using alias https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Aliases

Had a bit offline chat earlier with @footballhead , instead of disable lint check for pointer ownership, it seems sensible to explicitly annotate allocations.

src/dive/lint/gsl.h

+namespace gsl
+{
+
+template<class T, std::enable_if_t<std::is_pointer_v<T>, bool> = true>  //


why the trailing //?

We probably wan to remove clang-format rule AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations: MultiLine

ui/analyze_window.cpp

+using DiveLint::QtNew;
+using DiveLint::QtNewUnowned;


nit, likely not an issue here since the using isn't inside the namespace but (in general) prefer to fully qualify https://abseil.io/tips/119

Suggested change

using DiveLint::QtNew;

using DiveLint::QtNewUnowned;

using ::DiveLint::QtNew;

using ::DiveLint::QtNewUnowned;

(https://abseil.io/tips/119 also recommends putting this in a namespace but I can see that there isn't one here :)

ui/analyze_window.cpp

    m_available_metrics(available_metrics)
 {
    qDebug() << "AnalyzeDialog created.";
+    InitializeLayout();


Is it worth documenting somewhere that this is called from the constructor so should not be made virtual?

It should be a factory function

auto Create() { auto dialog = new AnalyzeDialog; if (!AnalyzeDialog->InitializeLayout()) { delete dialog; return nullptr; } return dialog; }

however the rest of the code are not capable of handling creation failure at the moment.

Until that happens, document that this is called from the constructor so should not be made virtual?

ui/analyze_window.cpp


    // Left Panel Layout
-    m_left_panel_layout = new QVBoxLayout();
+    m_left_panel_layout = QtNewUnowned<QVBoxLayout>();


Should we look at using the layout helper here as well?

Yes. Although that's a lot of reordering probably fitted for the next PR.

I intentionally did not add AddWidget and AddLayout since they encourage having unparented elements.
