* Impl of IMethod isSynthetic and isWalaSynthetic
So far IMethod.isSynthetic referred to WALA-generated helper functions
and there was no equivalent to check whether an IMethod is synthetic in
terms of compiler-generated.
To make naming consistent this patch first renames the isSynthetic to
isWalaSynthetic to clearly indicate that a given IMethod was generated
by WALA. Then, we re-introduce isSynthetic that from now on checks
whether an IMethod is synthetic/compiler-generated (referring to the
synthetic flag in bytecode)
* Implementation of IClass.isSynthetic
Complementary to IMethod.isSynthetic, this method checks whether
an IClass is compiler-generated.
* updated JavaDoc
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.
Previously FilterIterator was very permissive regarding the type
relationships between the original iterator, the filtered iterator,
and the predicate used to prune the former down to the latter. Now we
enforce those relationships more strictly, including proper use of
covariant ("<? extends T>") and contravariant ("<? super T>")
polymorphic type parameters where appropriate.
This lets us get rid of seven suppressed warnings about generic types
and/or unchecked conversions. It also moves us toward being able to
use modern Java features like lambdas and streams more easily.
We already have plenty of examples of Serializable classes with this
field, and the vast majority of those fields have generated IDs rather
than "1L". From this I infer that using proper serialVersionUID
fields is considered appropriate WALA coding style.
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.
The fix is to add "static" where appropriate, of course. I've also
simplified calls to such methods to reflect the fact that they no
longer need a specific object to call the method on.
In projects that contain test inputs, I've left the non-static
declarations unchanged, and instead downgraded the warning to be
ignored. In all other projects, this warning has been upgraded to an
error.
* 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.
