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.
Most of the invalid HTML arose from bare "<" and ">" characters.
These should be escaped as "<" and ">" when not intended to
introduce HTML tags. When you have many such characters close
together, "{@literal ...}" is a nice, readable alternative that
automatically escapes its contents. If the text in question is
intended to be a code fragment, then "{@code ...}" is appropriate:
this is essentially equivalent to "<code>{@literal ...}</code>".
There were a few other HTML violations too, but none common enough to
be worth detailing here.
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.
Before, fixed-point systems containing BasicNullaryStatements
caused crashes when trying to output them (because toString()
method of AbstractStatement assumes that there is Right-Hand-Side,
but BasicNullaryStatements throw an UnsupportedOperationException
when trying to get them).
Why shouldn't BasicNullaryStatements have a string representation?
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
now, for me, code works using e44 with maven
dalvik tests refactored for mobile version with android dev tools
IDE tests Eclipse metadata fixed to make e44 work for me
new android entrypoint to fix failure in new droidbench tests
Have a toolkit that aids in building WALA-synthetic methods by helping
to avoid common mistakes and managing SSA-Variables.
