Class IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory

java.lang.Object
  checkers.types.AnnotatedTypeFactory
      checkers.types.BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory<IGJChecker>
          checkers.igj.IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory

public class IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory
extends BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory<IGJChecker>

Adds implicit and default IGJ annotations, only if the user does not annotate the type explicitly. The default annotations are designed to minimize the number of Immutable or ReadOnly inserted.

Implicit Annotations for literals:
Immutable - any primitive literal (e.g. integer, long, boolean, etc.)
IGJBottom - a null literal

However, due to the default setting being similar to the implicit annotations, there is no significant distinction between the two in implementation.

Default Annotations:

This factory will add the Immutable annotation to a type if the input is

1. (*)a primitive type,
2. a known immutable type, if the class type is annotated as Immutable

It will add the ReadOnly annotation to a type if the input is

3. a method receiver for an immutable class
4. a result of unification of different immutabilities (e.g. within Conditional Expressions)
5. supertype of a wildcard/type parameter in a class/method declaration

It will add IGJBottom, a special bottom annotation to a type if the input can be assigned to anything, like the following cases:

6. (*)the input is a null literal
7. (*)the input is an unannotated new array tree
8. the input is an unannotated new class tree invoking a constructor of ReadOnly or AssignsFields receiver type
9. the input is the class or interface declaration

It will add the Mutable annotation to a type if

10. any remaining unqualified types (i.e. Mutable is the default)

(*) cases handled with a meta annotation

Furthermore, it resolves I annotation to the proper annotation, according to its specification (described in I javadoc).

Constructor Detail

IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory

public IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory(IGJChecker checker,
                               CompilationUnitTree root)

Constructor for IGJAnnotatedTypeFactory object.

Parameters:

checker - the checker to which this factory belongs

root - the compilation unit the annotation processor is processing currently

Method Detail

createTreeAnnotator

protected TreeAnnotator createTreeAnnotator(IGJChecker checker)

Description copied from class: BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory

Returns a TreeAnnotator that adds annotations to a type based on the contents of a tree. Subclasses may override this method to specify more appriopriate TreeAnnotator

Overrides:

createTreeAnnotator in class BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory<IGJChecker>

Returns:

a tree annotator

createTypeAnnotator

protected TypeAnnotator createTypeAnnotator(IGJChecker checker)

Description copied from class: BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory

Returns a TypeAnnotator that adds annotations to a type based on the content of the type itself.

Overrides:

createTypeAnnotator in class BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory<IGJChecker>

Returns:

a type annotator

annotateInheritedFromClass

protected void annotateInheritedFromClass(AnnotatedTypeMirror type)

Override the default behavior of implicitly adding annotations on the class type to the declared types within the passed type.

Overrides:

annotateInheritedFromClass in class AnnotatedTypeFactory

Parameters:

type - the type for which class annotations will be inherited if there are no annotations already present

getImplicitReceiverType

protected AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getImplicitReceiverType(Tree tree)

Overrides:

getImplicitReceiverType in class AnnotatedTypeFactory

getSelfType

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getSelfType(Tree tree)

Returns the type of field this, for the scope of this tree. In IGJ, the self type is the method receiver in this scope.

Overrides:

getSelfType in class AnnotatedTypeFactory

postDirectSuperTypes

protected void postDirectSuperTypes(AnnotatedTypeMirror type,
                                    List<? extends AnnotatedTypeMirror> supertypes)

Replace all instances of @I in the super types with the immutability of the current type

Overrides:

postDirectSuperTypes in class AnnotatedTypeFactory

Parameters:

type - the type whose supertypes are requested

supertypes - the supertypes of type

postAsMemberOf

public void postAsMemberOf(AnnotatedTypeMirror elementType,
                           AnnotatedTypeMirror owner,
                           Element element)

Resolve the instances of @I in the elementType based on owner, according to is specification.

Overrides:

postAsMemberOf in class AnnotatedTypeFactory

Parameters:

elementType - the annotated type of the element

owner - the annotated type of the receiver of the accessing tree

element - the element of the field or method

methodFromUse

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType methodFromUse(MethodInvocationTree tree)

Resolves @I in the type of the method type base on the method invocation tree parameters. Any unresolved @Is is resolved to a place holder type. It resolves @I annotation in the following way:

• based on the tree receiver, done automatically through implicit invocation of AnnotatedTypes.asMemberOf(AnnotatedTypeMirror, Element)
• based on the invocation passed parameters
• if any yet unresolved immutability variables get resolved to a wildcard type

Overrides:

methodFromUse in class BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory<IGJChecker>

Parameters:

tree - the method invocation tree

Returns:

the method type being invoked with tree
