```
public abstract class CFAbstractValue<V extends CFAbstractValue<V>>
extends Object
implements AbstractValue<V>
```
An implementation of an abstract value used by the Checker Framework org.checkerframework.dataflow analysis.
A value holds a set of annotations and a type mirror. The set of annotations represents the primary annotation on a type; therefore, the set of annotations must have an annotation for each hierarchy unless the type mirror is a type variable or a wildcard that extends a type variable. Both type variables and wildcards may be missing a primary annotation. For this set of annotations, there is an additional constraint that only wildcards that extend type variables can be missing annotations.
In order to compute leastUpperBound(CFAbstractValue) and mostSpecific(CFAbstractValue, CFAbstractValue), the case where one value has an annotation in a hierarchy and the other does not must be handled. For type variables, the AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable for the declaration of the type variable is used. The AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable is computed using the type mirror. For wildcards, it is not always possible to get the AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedWildcardType for the type mirror. However, a CFAbstractValue's type mirror is only a wildcard if the type of some expression is a wildcard. The type of an expression is only a wildcard because the Checker Framework does not implement capture conversion. For these uses of uncaptured wildcards, only the primary annotation on the upper bound is ever used. So, the set of annotations represents the primary annotation on the wildcard's upper bound. If that upper bound is a type variable, then the set of annotations could be missing an annotation in a hierarchy.

```
    Creates a new CFAbstractValue.
    
    Parameters:
    
    analysis - the analysis class this value belongs to

  - canBeMissingAnnotations
```
public boolean canBeMissingAnnotations()
```
    Returns whether or not the set of annotations can be missing an annotation for any hierarchy.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether or not the set of annotations can be missing an annotation
  - getAnnotations
```
@Pure
public Set<AnnotationMirror> getAnnotations()
```
    Returns a set of annotations. If canBeMissingAnnotations() returns true, then the set of annotations may not have an annotation for every hierarchy.
    To get the single annotation in a particular hierarchy, use QualifierHierarchy.findAnnotationInHierarchy(java.util.Collection<? extends javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror>, javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror).
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of annotations

  - toStringSimple
```
@SideEffectFree
public String toStringSimple()

    Returns the string representation, using simple (not fully-qualified) names.
    
    Returns:

    Returns the string representation.

```
public V mostSpecific(V other,
                      V backup)
```
    Returns the more specific version of two values this and other. If they do not contain information for all hierarchies, then it is possible that information from both this and other are taken.
    If neither of the two is more specific for one of the hierarchies (i.e., if the two are incomparable as determined by QualifierHierarchy.isSubtype(AnnotationMirror, AnnotationMirror), then the respective value from backup is used.
  - leastUpperBound
```
public V leastUpperBound(V other)
```
    Description copied from interface: AbstractValue
    Compute the least upper bound of two stores.
    Important: This method must fulfill the following contract:
    - Does not change this.
    - Does not change other.
    - Returns a fresh object which is not aliased yet.
    - Returns an object of the same (dynamic) type as this, even if the signature is more permissive.
    - Is commutative.
