Class WholeProgramInferenceImplementation<T>

java.lang.Object
org.checkerframework.common.wholeprograminference.WholeProgramInferenceImplementation<T>
Type Parameters:
T - the type used by the storage to store annotations
All Implemented Interfaces:
WholeProgramInference
public class WholeProgramInferenceImplementation<T> extends Object implements WholeProgramInference
This is the primary implementation of WholeProgramInference. It uses an instance of WholeProgramInferenceStorage to store annotations and to create output files.

This class does not perform inference for an element if the element has explicit annotations. That is, calling an update* method on an explicitly annotated field, method return, or method parameter has no effect.

In addition, whole program inference ignores inferred types in a few scenarios. When discovering a use, WPI ignores an inferred type if:

  1. The inferred type of an element that should be written into a file is a subtype of the upper bounds of this element's written type in the source code.
  2. The annotation annotates a null literal, except when doing inference for the NullnessChecker. (The rationale for this is that null is a frequently-used default value, and it would be undesirable to infer the bottom type if null were the only value passed as an argument.)
When outputting a file, WPI ignores an inferred type if:
  1. The @Target annotation does not permit the annotation to be written at this location.
  2. The @RelevantJavaTypes annotation does not permit the annotation to be written at this location.
  3. The inferred annotation has the @InvisibleQualifier meta-annotation.
  4. The inferred annotation would be the same annotation applied via defaulting — that is, if omitting it has the same effect as writing it.
