Interface WholeProgramInference

All Known Implementing Classes:

WholeProgramInferenceScenes

public interface WholeProgramInference

Interface for a whole-program inference implementation.

This interface has update* methods that should be called at certain (pseudo-)assignments, and they may update the type of the LHS of the (pseudo-)assignment based on the type of the RHS. In case the element on the LHS already had an inferred type, its new type will be the LUB between the previous and new types.
