public abstract class BaseTypeChecker extends SourceChecker
SourceChecker that provides a simple SourceVisitor implementation that type-checks assignments,
pseudo-assignments such as parameter passing and method invocation, and method overriding.
Most type-checker annotation processor should extend this class, instead of SourceChecker. Checkers that require annotated types but not subtype checking (e.g. for testing
purposes) should extend SourceChecker. Non-type checkers (e.g. checkers to enforce coding
styles) can extend SourceChecker or AbstractTypeProcessor; the Checker Framework
is not designed for such checkers.
It is a convention that, for a type system Foo, the checker, the visitor, and the annotated type factory are named as FooChecker, FooVisitor, and FooAnnotatedTypeFactory. Some factory methods use this convention to construct the appropriate classes reflectively.
BaseTypeChecker encapsulates a group for factories for various representations/classes
related the type system, mainly:
QualifierHierarchy: to represent the supported qualifiers in addition to their
hierarchy, mainly, subtyping rules
TypeHierarchy: to check subtyping rules between annotated types rather than
qualifiers
AnnotatedTypeFactory: to construct qualified types enriched with default qualifiers
according to the type system rules
BaseTypeVisitor: to visit the compiled Java files and check for violations of the
type system rules
Subclasses must specify the set of type qualifiers they support. See AnnotatedTypeFactory.createSupportedTypeQualifiers().
If the specified type qualifiers are meta-annotated with SubtypeOf, this
implementation will automatically construct the type qualifier hierarchy. Otherwise, or if this
behavior must be overridden, the subclass may override the AnnotatedTypeFactory.createQualifierHierarchy() method.

Subclasses should override this method to specify subcheckers. If they do so, they should call the super implementation of this method and add dependencies to the returned set so that checkers required for reflection resolution are included if reflection resolution is requested.
Each subchecker of this checker may also depend on other checkers. If this checker and one of its subcheckers both depend on a third checker, that checker will only be instantiated once.
Though each checker is run on a whole compilation unit before the next checker is run, error
and warning messages are collected and sorted based on the location in the source file before
being printed. (See printOrStoreMessage(Diagnostic.Kind, String, Tree,
CompilationUnitTree).)
WARNING: Circular dependencies are not supported nor do checkers verify that their dependencies are not circular. Make sure no circular dependencies are created when overriding this method. (In other words, if checker A depends on checker B, checker B cannot depend on checker A.)
This method is protected so it can be overridden, but it should only be called internally by the BaseTypeChecker.
The BaseTypeChecker will not modify the list returned by this method, but other clients do modify the list.
public boolean shouldResolveReflection()
protected BaseTypeVisitor<?> createSourceVisitor()
This implementation uses the checker naming convention to create the appropriate visitor. If
no visitor is found, it returns an instance of BaseTypeVisitor. It reflectively invokes
the constructor that accepts this checker and the compilation unit tree (in that order) as
arguments.
Subclasses have to override this method to create the appropriate visitor if they do not follow the checker naming convention.
