package opalj
OPAL is a Scala-based framework for the static analysis, manipulation and creation of Java bytecode. OPAL is designed with performance, scalability and adaptability in mind.
Its main components are:
- a library (
Common) which provides generally useful data-structures and algorithms for static analyses. - a framework for implementing lattice based static analyses (
Static Analysis Infrastructure) - a framework for parsing Java bytecode (Bytecode Infrastructure
) that can be used to create arbitrary representations. - a library to create a one-to-one in-memory representation of Java bytecode
(
Bytecode Disassembler). - a library to create a representation of Java bytecode that facilitates writing
simple static analyses (
Bytecode Representation- org.opalj.br). - a scalable, easily customizable framework for the abstract interpretation of
Java bytecode (
Abstract Interpretation Framework- org.opalj.ai). - a library to extract dependencies between code elements and to facilitate checking architecture definitions.
- a library for the lightweight manipulation and creation of Java bytecode (Bytecode Assembler).
General Design Decisions
Thread Safety
Unless explicitly noted, OPAL is thread safe. I.e., the classes defined by OPAL can be considered to be thread safe unless otherwise stated. (For example, it is possible to read and process class files concurrently without explicit synchronization on the client side.)
No null Values
Unless explicitly noted, OPAL does not null values
I.e., fields that are accessible will never contain null values and methods will
never return null. If a method accepts null as a value for a parameter or
returns a null value it is always explicitly documented.
In general, the behavior of methods that are passed null values is undefined unless
explicitly documented.
No Typecasts for Collections
For efficiency reasons, OPAL sometimes uses mutable data-structures internally.
After construction time, these data-structures are generally represented using
their generic interfaces (e.g., scala.collection.{Set,Map}). However, a downcast
(e.g., to add/remove elements) is always forbidden as it would effectively prevent
thread-safety.
Assertions
OPAL makes heavy use of Scala's Assertion Facility to facilitate writing correct
code. Hence, for production builds (after thorough testing(!)) it is
highly recommend to build OPAL again using -Xdisable-assertions.

Result[+T] extends Serializable
Represents the result of some expression that either (a) succeeded and encapsulates some value, or (b) finished, but has no value - because it was not possible to compute a value using the given/available information - or (c) that failed.
Represents the result of some expression that either (a) succeeded and encapsulates some value, or (b) finished, but has no value - because it was not possible to compute a value using the given/available information - or (c) that failed.
- Note
Depending on the context, it may be useful to distinguish between a success that returns an empty collection and a success that has no further information.

- @inline()
- Note
This is not the same as a type conversion as the "sign-bit" is not treated as such. I.e., after conversion of the
Intvalue -1, theLongvalue will be4294967295(both have the same bit mask:11111111111111111111111111111111); in other words, the long's sign bit will still be0.
