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 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 each of these cases, the constructor directly or indirectly has
side effects that we want to keep, even if the object itself is not
retained and used by eht code that invokes `new`.
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.
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.
Effectively these two checks could only be false if the instance being
tested were null. So we replace the instanceof checks with null
checks. Sometimes that, in turn, makes other surrounding code
simpler. In the case of ApplicationLoaderFilter.test, for example,
a whole conditional case ("o instanceof LocalPointerKey") becomes
statically impossible. That seems a bit strange to me, but that's
what the code was effectively doing.
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.
This fixes the remaining 34 Eclipse "Resource '...' should be managed
by try-with-resource" warnings that were still left after the previous
commit.
Unlike the fixes in that previous commit, the changes here are *not*
plugging potential resource leaks. However, in many cases that is
simply because the code before the close() call cannot currently throw
exceptions. If exceptions became possible in the future, leaks could
result. Using try-with-resource preemptively avoids that.
Furthermore, in code that was already dealing with exceptions, the
try-with-resource style is usually considerably simpler.
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.
The contents of @author go straight into HTML, just like most other
Javadoc material. So if you want to have a "<foo@bar.com>" e-mail
address as part of the author information, the angle brackets must be
escaped. Here I've opted to do that using "{@code <foo@bar.com>}",
which has some additional styling effects that seem appropriate for
e-mail addresses. We could also have used "<foo@bar.com>" for
escaping without code styling.
PrunedCFG had been changed to always include an entry and exit node.
The logic for detecting an "empty" ExceptionPrunedCFG inside the PDG
construction code had not been updated appropriately.
a) serializable added for use by Android services
b) test classes refactored to allow Android variants to use JUnit 3
2) shrike instrumentation now uses java.lang.instrument
a) refactoring
b) online variants of call graph tracing
