TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

public class Flow
extends TreePathScanner<Void,Void>

Provides a generalized flow-sensitive qualifier inference for the checkers framework.

This implementation is based largely on javac's dataflow analysis module, which may be found in com.sun.tools.javac.comp.Flow from 13 Sep 2007. It differs from that class in two ways: 1. It performs a GEN-KILL analysis for qualifiers that is similar to the initialization/uninitialization analysis in javac's Flow. It does not perform exception analysis, and performs liveness analysis only to the extent required for the GEN-KILL analysis. 2. Whenever possible, this implementation prefers the use of classes in the public API (BitSet, the Compiler Tree API) over those in com.sun.tools.javac (for these reasons, examining a diff against that class would not be particularly enlightening).

As in javac's Flow class, methods named "visit*" perform analysis for a particular type of tree node, while methods named "scan*" perform the analysis for a general, higher-level class of structural element. Typically "visit*" methods delegate to "scan*" methods. As an example, visitIf(com.sun.source.tree.IfTree, java.lang.Void), visitWhileLoop(com.sun.source.tree.WhileLoopTree, java.lang.Void), visitAssert(com.sun.source.tree.AssertTree, java.lang.Void), and visitConditionalExpression(com.sun.source.tree.ConditionalExpressionTree, java.lang.Void) all use scanCond(com.sun.source.tree.Tree) for analyzing conditions and handling branching.

A separate instance of the analysis must be created for each compilation unit.

Field Detail

checker

protected final SourceChecker checker

The checker to which this instance belongs.

env

protected final ProcessingEnvironment env

The processing environment to use.

root

protected final CompilationUnitTree root

The file that's being analyzed.

annotations

protected final Set<AnnotationMirror> annotations

The annotations (qualifiers) to infer. The relationship among them is determined using BaseTypeChecker.getQualifierHierarchy(). By consulting the hierarchy, the analysis will only infer a qualifier on a type if it is more restrictive (i.e. a subtype) than the existing qualifier for that type.

source

protected final SourcePositions source

Utility class for getting source positions.

factory

protected final AnnotatedTypeFactory factory

Utility class for determining annotated types.

atypes

protected final AnnotatedTypes atypes

Utility class for operations on annotated types.

vars

protected final List<VariableElement> vars

Maps variables to a bit index. This index is also used as the bit index to determine a variable's annotatedness using annos/annosWhenTrue/annosWhenFalse.

flowResults

protected final Map<Location,AnnotationMirror> flowResults

Stores the results of the analysis (source location to qualifier).

annos

protected GenKillBits<AnnotationMirror> annos

Tracks the annotated state of each variable during flow. Bit indices correspond exactly to indices in vars. This field is set to null immediately after splitting for a branch, and is set to some combination (usually boolean "and") of annosWhenTrue and annosWhenFalse after merging. Since it is used when visiting the true and false branches, however, it may be non-null concurrently with annosWhenTrue and annosWhenFalse.

annosWhenTrue

protected GenKillBits<AnnotationMirror> annosWhenTrue

Tracks the annotated state of each variable in a true branch. As in javac's Flow, saving/restoring via local variables handles nested branches. Bit indices correspond exactly to indices in vars. This field is copied from annos when splitting for a branch and is set to null immediately after merging.

See Also:

annos

annosWhenFalse

protected GenKillBits<AnnotationMirror> annosWhenFalse

Tracks the annotated state of each variable in a false branch. As in javac's Flow, saving/restoring via local variables handles nested branches. Bit indices correspond exactly to indices in vars. This field is copied from annos when splitting for a branch and is set to null immediately after merging.

See Also:

annos

annoRelations

protected final QualifierHierarchy annoRelations

The hierarchy for the type qualifiers that this class infers.

elements

protected final Elements elements

Utilities for Elements.
