A store for the checker framework analysis tracks the annotations of memory locations such as local variables and fields.
When adding a new field to track values for a code construct (similar to localVariableValues and thisValue), it is important to review all constructors and methods in this class for locations where the new field must be handled (such as the copy constructor and clearValue), as well as all constructors/methods in subclasses of {code CFAbstractStore}. Note that this includes not only overridden methods in the subclasses, but new methods in the subclasses as well. Also check if BaseTypeVisitor#getFlowExpressionContextFromNode(Node) needs to be updated. Failing to do so may result in silent failures that are time consuming to debug.

```
    Set the abstract value of a method parameter (only adds the information to the store, does not remove any other knowledge). Any previous information is erased; this method should only be used to initialize the abstract value.

    Remove any information that might not be valid any more after a method call, and add information guaranteed by the method.
    1. If the method is side-effect-free (as indicated by SideEffectFree or Pure), then no information needs to be removed.
    2. Otherwise, all information about field accesses a.f needs to be removed, except if the method n cannot modify a.f (e.g., if a is a local variable or this, and f is final).
    3. Furthermore, if the field has a monotonic annotation, then its information can also be kept.
    Furthermore, if the method is deterministic, we store its result val in the store.

    This method does not take care of removing other information that might be influenced by changes to certain parts of the state.
    If there is already a value v present for r, then the stronger of the new and old value are taken (according to the lattice). Note that this happens per hierarchy, and if the store already contains information about a hierarchy other than as hierarchy, that information is preserved.

    This method does not take care of removing other information that might be influenced by changes to certain parts of the state.
    If there is already a value v present for r, then the stronger of the new and old value are taken (according to the lattice). Note that this happens per hierarchy, and if the store already contains information about a hierarchy for which value does not contain information, then that information is preserved.

                                    V value)
```
    Returns:
    
    true if fieldAcc is an update of a monotonic qualifier to its target qualifier. (e.g. @MonotonicNonNull to @NonNull). Always returns false if sequentialSemantics is true.

```
    Remove any information in this store that might not be true any more after fieldAccess has been assigned a new value (with the abstract value val). This includes the following steps (assume that fieldAccess is of the form a.f for some a.
    1. Update the abstract value of other field accesses b.g where the field is equal (that is, f=g), and the receiver b might alias the receiver of fieldAccess, a. This update will raise the abstract value for such field accesses to at least val (or the old value, if that was less precise). However, this is only necessary if the field g is not final.
    2. Remove any abstract values for field accesses b.g where fieldAccess might alias any expression in the receiver b.
    3. Remove any information about method calls.
    4. Remove any abstract values an array access b[i] where fieldAccess might alias any expression in the receiver a or index i.
    Parameters:
    
    val - the abstract value of the value assigned to n (or null if the abstract value is not known).

```
    Remove any information in the store that might not be true any more after arrayAccess has been assigned a new value (with the abstract value val). This includes the following steps (assume that arrayAccess is of the form a[i] for some a.
    1. Remove any abstract value for other array access b[j] where a and b can be aliases, or where either b or j contains a modifiable alias of a[i].
    2. Remove any abstract values for field accesses b.g where a[i] might alias any expression in the receiver b and there is an array expression somewhere in the receiver.
    3. Remove any information about method calls.
    Parameters:
    
    val - the abstract value of the value assigned to n (or null if the abstract value is not known).
  - removeConflicting
```
protected void removeConflicting(FlowExpressions.LocalVariable var)
