    • visualize

      @Nullable Map<String,Object> visualize(ControlFlowGraph cfg, Block entry, @Nullable Analysis<V,S,T> analysis)
      Creates a visualization representing the control flow graph starting at entry. The keys and values in the returned map are implementation dependent. The method should not perform any actions.

      An invocation visualize(cfg, entry, null); does not output stores at the beginning of basic blocks.

      Parameters:
      cfg - the CFG to visualize
      entry - the entry node of the control flow graph to be represented
      analysis - an analysis containing information about the program represented by the CFG. The information includes Stores that are valid at the beginning of basic blocks reachable from entry and per-node information for value producing Nodes. Can also be null to indicate that this information should not be output.
      Returns:
      visualization results, e.g. generated file names (DOTCFGVisualizer) or a String representation of the CFG (StringCFGVisualizer)

    • visualizeWithAction

      @Nullable Map<String,Object> visualizeWithAction(ControlFlowGraph cfg, Block entry, @Nullable Analysis<V,S,T> analysis)
      Output a visualization representing the control flow graph starting at entry. The keys and values in the returned map are implementation dependent. The concrete actions are implementation dependent, and can include outputting information and producing files.

      An invocation visualizeWithAction(cfg, entry, null); does not output stores at the beginning of basic blocks.

      Parameters:
      cfg - the CFG to visualize
      entry - the entry node of the control flow graph to be represented
      analysis - an analysis containing information about the program represented by the CFG. The information includes Stores that are valid at the beginning of basic blocks reachable from entry and per-node information for value producing Nodes. Can also be null to indicate that this information should not be output.
      Returns:
      visualization results, e.g. generated file names (DOTCFGVisualizer) or a String representation of the CFG (StringCFGVisualizer)
