Eclipse's automated code clean-up tool did most of the heavy lifting
here: it specifically has a clean-up option for converting functional
interfaces to lambdas. I merely had to revert the automated changes
for a single enumeration class for which it produced invalid results,
and for a few test inputs that apparently aren't set up to be compiled
with Java 8.
Instead of having two `switch` statements on the Dot format
enumeration, give each Dot enumeration value a way to identify its own
preferred file suffix and command-line format name. This removes some
warnings about `switch` statements without default cases. It also
creates strong static enforcement that any new Dot format *must* also
provide this information.
In general, my approach was to try to eliminate each unused parameter
using Eclipse's "Change Method Signature" refactoring. That did not
always succeed: a parameter may be unused in some base class method,
but then be used in subclass's override of that method. In cases
where refactoring to eliminate a parameter failed, I instead annotated
the parameter with '@SuppressWarnings("unused")' to silence the
warning.
Note: this group of changes creates a significant risk of
incompatibility for third-party WALA code. Some removed parameters
change externally-visible APIs. Furthermore, these changes do not
necessarily lead to Java compilation errors. For example, suppose
third-party code subclasses a WALA class or interface, overrides a
method, but does not annotate that method as @Override. Removing a
parameter means that the third-party method no longer overrides. This
can quietly change code behavior without compile-time errors or
warnings. This is exactly why one should use @Override wherever
possible, but we cannot guarantee that third-party WALA users have
done that.
Unnecessary "throws" declarations tend to cascade. If foo() calls
bar() and bar() falsely declares that it might throw IOException, that
often leads a programmer to declare that foo() might throw IOException
as well. Fixing the bar() throws declaration then reveals that we can
fix the foo() throws declaration too. By the time we reach a fixed
point with cleaning these up, we have removed roughly 320 unnecessary
throws declarations.
In a few cases, this cleanup even lets us remove entire "try
... catch" statements where the only thing being caught was an
exception that we now statically know cannot be thrown. Nice!
In Eclipse project configurations, upgrade any future such shenanigans
from warnings to errors. Now that we've fixed this, we don't want it
coming back again.
There is a potential drawback to this change. Conceivably some public
WALA API entry point might have declared that it could throw some
exception merely to reserve the *option* of throwing that exception in
third-party code that subclasses and overrides the API entry point in
question. I have no idea whether this is a significant concern in
practice, though.
I have *not* upgraded this problem to be treated as an error in the
future. Unfortunately Eclipse uses a single configuration setting for
both unnecessary semicolons and also for empty control-flow statements
like `while (p) ;`. I'm not convinced that it's worth rewriting all
instances of the latter into `while (p) { }`. So this is just going
to stay as a warning for now.
If a method is private, there's no risk that a subclass elsewhere
might be overriding it and depending on dynamic dispatch to choose the
right implementation. So all of these private methods can safely be
declared static without risk of regression in either WALA code or
unseen third-party code.
In the cases addressed here, the caught exception was being "handled"
by throwing some new exception. Instead of discarding the old
exception, pass it to the new exception's constructor to indicate the
original cause of the newly-created exception. This practice, called
"exception chaining", can often be useful in debugging.
The assert will throw AssertionError if it finds a bad argument,
unless the code is running without assertion checking enabled. The
"if" will throw an IllegalArgumentException if it finds the same bad
argument, and that check is always enabled. Better to be consistent
in what exception is used to report a bad argument. Since the "if" is
always active, let's go with that and remove the redundant,
not-always-active assert.
This fixes 33 out of 37 Eclipse "Potential resource leak: '...' may
not be closed" warnings. It also fixes 3 out of 37 Eclipse "Resource
'...' should be managed by try-with-resource" warnings, although that
was not the main focus of this effort.
The remaining 4 warnings about potential resource leaks all involve a
leaked JarFile instance that is passed to a JarFileModule constructor
call. JarFileModile never attempts to close its underlying JarFile;
this code is written as though JarFile cleanup were the caller's
responsibility. However, the JarFile often cannot be closed by the
code that creates the JarFileModule either, since the JarFile needs to
remain open while the JarFileModule is in use, and some of these
JarFileModules stay around beyond the lifetime of the code that
created them. Truly fixing this would essentially require making
JarFileModule implement Closeable, which in turn would probably
require that Module implement Closeable, which in turn would require
changes to lots of code that deals with Module instances to arrange
for them to be properly closed. That's more invasive than I'm
prepared to take on right now.
Instead, rely on Java's ability to infer type parameters in many
contexts. This removes 665 Eclipse warnings.
Note: a few of these changes are to files under "test" subdirectories.
Presumably those are files that serve as test inputs rather than being
part of WALA code proper. As far as I can tell, these changes do not
break any WALA tests. But if any of those tests were specifically
intended to exercise WALA on code with non-inferred generic type
parameters, then I really should be leaving those alone.
