Class AnnotatedTypeFactory

java.lang.Object
  checkers.types.AnnotatedTypeFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

BasicAnnotatedTypeFactory, JavariAnnotatedTypeFactory, NullnessAnnotatedTypeFactory

public class AnnotatedTypeFactory
extends Object

The methods of this class take an element or AST node, and return the annotated type as an AnnotatedTypeMirror. The methods are:

• getAnnotatedType(ClassTree)
• getAnnotatedType(MethodTree)
• getAnnotatedType(Tree)
• getAnnotatedTypeFromTypeTree(Tree)
• getAnnotatedType(TypeElement)
• getAnnotatedType(ExecutableElement)
• getAnnotatedType(Element)

This implementation only adds qualifiers explicitly specified by the programmer. Type system checker writers may need to subclass this class, to add implicit and default qualifiers according to the type system semantics. Subclasses should especially override annotateImplicit(Element, AnnotatedTypeMirror) and annotateImplicit(Tree, AnnotatedTypeMirror).

                                AnnotatedTypeMirror type)

Adds implicit annotations to a type obtained from a Tree. By default, this method does nothing. Subclasses should use this method to implement implicit annotations specific to their type systems.

Parameters:

tree - an AST node

type - the type obtained from tree

annotateImplicit

protected void annotateImplicit(Element elt,
                                @Mutable
                                AnnotatedTypeMirror type)

postDirectSuperTypes

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

A callback method for the AnnotatedTypeFactory subtypes to customize directSuperTypes(). Overriding methods should merely change the annotations on the supertypes, without adding or removing new types The default provided implementation adds type annotations to supertypes. This allows the type and its supertypes to have the qualifiers, e.g. the supertypes of an Immutable type are also Immutable.

Parameters:

type - the type whose supertypes are desired

supertypes - the supertypes as specified by the base AnnotatedTypeFactory

postAsMemberOf

protected void postAsMemberOf(AnnotatedTypeMirror type,
                              AnnotatedTypeMirror owner,
                              Element element)

A callback method for the AnnotatedTypeFactory subtypes to customize AnnotatedTypes.asMemberOf(). Overriding methods should merely change the annotations on the subtypes, without changing the types.

type - 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

annotateInheritedFromClass

protected void annotateInheritedFromClass(@Mutable
                                          AnnotatedTypeMirror type)

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)

isMostEnclosingThisDeref

protected final boolean isMostEnclosingThisDeref(Tree tree)

getSelfType

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getSelfType(Tree tree)

Returns the type of this in the current location, which can be used if this has a special semantics (e.g. this is non-null)

getEnclosingType

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getEnclosingType(TypeElement element,
                                                                  Tree tree)

getReceiver

public final AnnotatedTypeMirror getReceiver(ExpressionTree expression)

Returns the receiver type of the expression tree, or null if it does not exist. The only trees that could potentially have a receiver are:

• Array Access
• Identifiers (whose receivers are usually self type)
• Method Invocation Trees
• Member Select Trees

Parameters:

expression -

Returns:

the type of the receiver of this expression

methodFromUse

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType methodFromUse(MethodInvocationTree tree)

Determines the type of the invoked method based on the passed method invocation tree. The returned method type has all type variables resolved, whether based on receiver type, passed type parameters if any, and method invocation parameter. Subclasses may override this method to customize inference of types or qualifiers based on method invocation parameters. As an implementation detail, this method depends on AnnotatedTypes.asMemberOf(AnnotatedTypeMirror, Element), and customization based on receiver type should be in accordance to its specification.

Parameters:

tree - the method invocation tree

Returns:

the method type being invoked with tree

constructorFromUse

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType constructorFromUse(NewClassTree tree)

Determines the AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType of a constructor invocation. Note that this is different than calling getAnnotatedType(Tree) or fromExpression(ExpressionTree) on the constructor invocation; those determine the type of the result of invoking the constructor, which is probably an AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType.

Parameters:

tree - a constructor invocation

Returns:

the annotated type of the invoked constructor (as an executable type)

fromNewClass

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType fromNewClass(NewClassTree tree)

getBoxedType

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getBoxedType(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedPrimitiveType type)

returns the annotated boxed type of the given primitive type. The returned type would only have the annotations on the given type. Subclasses may override this method safely to override this behavour.

Parameters:

type - the primitivate type

Returns:

the boxed declared type of the passed primitive type

getUnboxedType

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedPrimitiveType getUnboxedType(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType type)
                                                          throws IllegalArgumentException

returns the annotated primitive type of the given declared type if it is a boxed declared type. Otherwise, it throws IllegalArgumentException exception. The returned type would have the annotations on the given type and nothing else.

Parameters:

type - the declared type

Returns:

the unboxed primitive type

Throws:

IllegalArgmentExceptionif - the type given has no unbox conversion

IllegalArgumentException

aliasedAnnotation

protected AnnotationMirror aliasedAnnotation(AnnotationMirror a)

Returns the canonical annotation for the passed annotation if it is an alias of a canonical one in the framework. If it is not an alias, the method returns null. Returns an aliased type of the current one

unify

protected Collection<AnnotationMirror> unify(Collection<AnnotationMirror> c1,
                                             Collection<AnnotationMirror> c2)

Returns the type qualifiers that are least upper bound for c1 and c2 qualifiers. In most cases, this is simply the intersection of the collections. However, if a type system specifies more than one type qualifier, this needs to return the least restrictive type qualifiers. Examples: For NonNull, unify('Nullable', 'NonNull') ==> Nullable For IGJ, unify('Immutable', 'Mutable') ==> ReadOnly Delegates the call to QualifierHierarchy.leastUpperBound(Collection, Collection).

Parameters:

c1 - type qualifiers for the first type

c2 - tyep qualifiers for the second type

Returns:

the least restrictive qualifiers for both types

getQualifierHierarchy

public QualifierHierarchy getQualifierHierarchy()

Parameters:

elt - an element

Returns:

the tree declaration of the element if found

Returns:

type of the most enclosing class being visited

getCurrentMethodReceiver

protected final AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType getCurrentMethodReceiver(Tree tree)

Returns the receiver type of the current method being visited, and returns null if the visited tree is not within a method. The method uses the parameter only if the most enclosing method cannot be found directly.

Returns:

receiver type of the most enclosing method being visited.

isWithinConstructor

protected final boolean isWithinConstructor(Tree tree)

getPath

public final TreePath getPath(Tree node)

Gets the path for the given Tree under the current root by checking from the visitor's current path, and only using Trees.getPath(CompilationUnitTree, Tree) (which is much slower) only if node is not found on the current path.
