Method Detail

returnFlow

Collection<Val> returnFlow(Method callee,
                           Statement returnStmt,
                           Val returnedVal)

Called by the forward analysis, when the forward solver reaches the returnStmt (any last statement of callee method) of callee method with data-flow fact returnedVal.

Parameters:

callee - The method the data-flow analysis returns from. The caller method is not available, as it will be internally added by the framework.

returnStmt - The statement from which the method returns from (will be any last/exit statement of the callee method)

returnedVal - The data-flow fact that is returned.

Returns:

A set of data-flow facts (Val) which will be propagated at any call site of the callee method.

callFlow

Collection<Val> callFlow(Statement callSite,
                         Val factAtCallSite,
                         Method callee)

Called by the forward analysis, when the forward solver reaches the callSite. Will be invoked once per available callee (in the call graph).

Parameters:

callSite - A call site reached by the backward analysis.

factAtCallSite - The data-flow fact reaching the callSite

callee - The callee that may be invoked at the callSite

Returns:

A set of data-flow facts (Val) that will be propagated at the entry statements of method callee

normalFlow

Collection<wpds.interfaces.State> normalFlow(ForwardQuery query,
                                             ControlFlowGraph.Edge edge,
                                             Val fact)

Called by the forward analysis, for any non return statements or call site statements.

Note: The logic differs from general IFDS logic here. edge.getStart() can also contain a call site, but fact is not used in the call site (no parameter or base variable of the call expression) .

Parameters:

edge - The control-flow graph edge that will be propagated next.

fact - The incoming data-flow fact that reaches the edge.

Returns:

A set of data-flow states (states in the pushdown system, typically of type Node).

callToReturnFlow

Collection<wpds.interfaces.State> callToReturnFlow(ForwardQuery query,
                                                   ControlFlowGraph.Edge edge,
                                                   Val fact)

Called by the forward analysis, when data-flow by-passes a call site with data-flow fact. Here logic can be added to handle native calls, or methods that are excluded from propagation. Note: The logic differs from general IFDS logic here. callToReturn is _only_ invoked when fact is also used in the call site (edge.getStart()), i.e. fact is a parameter or the base variable of the call expression. As a consequence, special handling for call site may need to be implemented as part of callToReturn and normalFlow.

Parameters:

edge - Edge that bypasses the call site. edge.getStart() is the call site, edge.getTarget() is any succsessor

fact - The fact that by-passes the call site.

Returns:

A set of data-flow states (states in the pushdown system, typically of type Node)
