means that the optimizer has to be switched on to enable the bug.
If no conditions are given, assume that the bug is present.
+check
+ This field contains different checks that report whether the smart contract
+ contains the bug or not. The first type of check are Javascript regular
+ expressions that are to be matched against the source code ("source-regex")
+ if the bug is present. If there is no match, then the bug is very likely
+ not present. If there is a match, the bug might be present. For improved
+ accuracy, the checks should be applied to the source code after stripping
+ comments.
+ The second type of check are patterns to be checked on the compact AST of
+ the Solidity program ("ast-compact-json-path"). The specified search query
+ is a `JsonPath <https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath>`_ expression.
+ If at least one path of the Solidity AST matches the query, the bug is
+ likely present.
