Class SignaturePrinter

java.lang.Object

javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor

checkers.source.AbstractTypeProcessor

checkers.util.debug.SignaturePrinter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Processor

public class SignaturePrinter
extends AbstractTypeProcessor

Outputs the method signatures of a class with fully annotated types. The class determines the effective annotations for a checker in source or the classfile. Finding the effective annotations is useful for the following purposes:

1. Debugging annotations in classfile
2. Debugging the default annotations that are implicitly added by the checker

The class can be used in two possible ways, depending on the type file:

1. From source: the class is to be used as an annotation processor when reading annotations from source. It can be invoked via the command:

   javac -processor SignaturePrinter <java files> ...

2. From classfile: the class is to be used as an independent app when reading annotations from classfile. It can be invoked via the command:

   java SignaturePrinter <class name>

By default, only the annotations explicitly written by the user are emitted. To view the default and effective annotations in a class that are associated with a checker, the fully qualified name of the checker needs to be passed as '-Achecker=' argument, e.g.

javac -processor SignaturePrinter -Achecker=checkers.nullness.NullnessChecker JavaFile.java

Method Detail

typeProcessingStart

public void typeProcessingStart()

Description copied from class: AbstractTypeProcessor

A method to be called once before the first call to typeProcess.

Subclasses may override this method to do any initialization work.

Overrides:

typeProcessingStart in class AbstractTypeProcessor

typeProcess

public void typeProcess(TypeElement element,
               @Nullable TreePath p)

Description copied from class: AbstractTypeProcessor

Processes a fully analyzed class that contains a supported annotation (look AbstractProcessor.getSupportedAnnotationTypes()).

The passed class is always valid type-checked Java code.

Specified by:

typeProcess in class AbstractTypeProcessor

Parameters:

element - element of the analyzed class

p - the tree path to the element, with the leaf being a ClassTree

printUsage

public static void printUsage()

main

public static void main(String[] args)
