public interface FieldRefinePolicy

Interface for specifying a policy for refinement of field access handling.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	nextPass()
boolean	shouldRefine(IField field, PointerKey basePtr, PointerKey val, IFlowLabel label, StateMachine.State state)

Method Detail

shouldRefine

boolean shouldRefine(IField field,
                     PointerKey basePtr,
                     PointerKey val,
                     IFlowLabel label,
                     StateMachine.State state)

Parameters:

field - the accessed field

basePtr - the base pointer of the access

Returns:

true if match edges for the field access should be refined. Otherwise, false is returned, indicating that the field can be handled with match edges.

nextPass

boolean nextPass()

Returns:

true if more refinement can be done, and hence another pass can be attempted; false otherwise
