In certain cases, one may want to ignore inter-procedural control
dependence. Consider the following example:
flag = getFlagVal();
if (flag) {
doStuff();
}
If we are ignoring interprocedural control dependence, a forward slice
from the first statement will *not* include statements inside doStuff()
and its transitive callees.
This option is useful in scenarios where the effects of statements
inside control-dependent callees can be accounted for via some cheaper
effect analysis. E.g., if you only care about heap effects of control-
dependent callees, you can compute that using mod-ref analysis,
rather than sucking all the control-dependent callee statements into the
slice.
Also added some more detailed comments, a new unit test, and removed
some trailing whitespace.
In all of these cases, the code used to initialize the unused local
seems nontrivial to me. I think this can all be removed without
erasing any needed side effects, but the code might still become
useful to someone in the future. So I'm not really removing the code
entirely, but merely commenting it out.
This fixes 49 Eclipse code style warnings. I'm not sure why these
were overlooked in my previous sweep of missing-@Override warnings.
Ah well; got 'em this time around.
* Fix warnings about unset javacProjectSettings build entries
Specifically, these are all warnings of the form "The
'javacProjectSettings' build entry should be set when there are project
specific compiler settings".
* Add @Override annotations to all methods that do override
This fixes 287 Eclipse code style warnings.
* Cannot add @Override annotations here, so suppress warnings instead
We should be able to add these @Override annotations in the future,
one Eclipse Mars and earlier are no longer supported. For now,
though, they have to go away in order to be compatible with older
Eclipse releases.
* Add missing type parameters to overrides of ModRef.makeModVisitor
* Add missing type parameters to overrides of ModRef.makeRefVisitor
This also required slightly generalizing the generic type signature of
the ModRef.makeRefVisitor return type. Instead of returning
"RefVisitor<T, ExtendedHeapModel>", we now return "RefVisitor<T, ?
extends ExtendedHeapModel>". We need that extra flexibility because
at least one override of this method returns a RefVisitor whose second
generic type parameter is a subclass of ExtendedHeapModel.
* Use IAnalysisCacheView instead of AnalysisCache. (#1)
It seems that some additional types need to be changed due to
d24519e974. This may not be inclusive,
however.
* Increase visibility of several methods and constructors.
Used for creating custom contexts and context selectors.
* Ignore the results directory.
* Some generic type fixes in ModRef.java.
Removing an unused field sometimes means removing constructor code
that used to initialize that field. Removing that initialization code
sometimes leaves whole constructor arguments unused. Removing those
unused arguments can leave us with unused code to compute those
arguments in constructors' callers, and so on. This commit tries to
clean all of this up, working backward from the unused fields that an
earlier commit already removed. Hopefully I have avoided removing
upstream code that had other important side effects, but it wouldn't
hurt for a WALA expert to review this change carefully.
Fixing these Javadoc comments would require adding packages to various
other packages' build paths. In some of the cases suppressed,
changing build paths in that manner would create circular build
dependencies. In other cases, it would simply add a Javadoc-motivated
dependency that does not exist for the real code, which seems
undesirable. For a few cases, the reference seems to be to types in
code we don't even have here, such as code from "android" or
"org.mozilla" packages.
As it turns out, I should have been using "? extends InstanceKey" rather
than "? super InstanceKey". But really, we can just use "?" here since
HeapGraph itself constrains its own type parameter appropriately.
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.
Note: some of these methods are decidedly nontrivial. Perhaps they
should not actually be removed? If any should be kept around, please
identify them to me. I'll revise this change to retain those methods
and simply annotate them as needed to suppress Eclipse's warning.
