Interface TransferFunction<A extends AbstractValue<A>,S extends Store<S>>

Type Parameters:

S - The Store used to keep track of intermediate results.

All Superinterfaces:

NodeVisitor<TransferResult<A,S>,TransferInput<A,S>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AliasingTransfer, CFAbstractTransfer, CFTransfer, ConstantPropagationTransfer, FormatterTransfer, I18nFormatterTransfer, InitializationTransfer, KeyForTransfer, LockTransfer, NullnessTransfer, QualTransfer, QualTransferAdapter, RegexQualifiedTransfer, RegexQualifiedTransfer, RegexTransfer, ValueTransfer

public interface TransferFunction<A extends AbstractValue<A>,S extends Store<S>>
extends NodeVisitor<TransferResult<A,S>,TransferInput<A,S>>

Interface of a transfer function for the abstract interpretation used for the flow analysis.

A transfer function consists of the following components:

• A method initialStore that determines which initial store should be used in the org.checkerframework.dataflow analysis.
• A function for every Node type that determines the behavior of the org.checkerframework.dataflow analysis in that case. This method takes a Node and an incoming store, and produces a RegularTransferResult.

Important: The individual transfer functions ( visit*) are allowed to use (and modify) the stores contained in the argument passed; the ownership is transfered from the caller to that function.

Method Detail

initialStore

S initialStore(UnderlyingAST underlyingAST,
               @Nullable List<LocalVariableNode> parameters)

Returns:

The initial store to be used by the org.checkerframework.dataflow analysis. parameters is only set if the underlying AST is a method.
