Interface Analysis<V extends AbstractValue<V>,S extends Store<S>,T extends TransferFunction<V,S>>

Type Parameters:

V - the abstract value type to be tracked by the analysis

S - the store type used in the analysis

T - the transfer function type that is used to approximated runtime behavior

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface Analysis<V extends AbstractValue<V>,S extends Store<S>,T extends TransferFunction<V,S>>

This interface defines a dataflow analysis, given a control flow graph and a transfer function. A dataflow analysis has a direction, either forward or backward. The direction of corresponding transfer function is consistent with the analysis, i.e. a forward analysis has a forward transfer function, and a backward analysis has a backward transfer function.

Method Detail

getDirection

Analysis.Direction getDirection()

Get the direction of this analysis.

Returns:

the direction of this analysis

isRunning

boolean isRunning()

Is the analysis currently running?

Returns:

true if the analysis is running currently, else false

performAnalysis

void performAnalysis(ControlFlowGraph cfg)

Perform the actual analysis.

Parameters:

cfg - the control flow graph

performAnalysisBlock

void performAnalysisBlock(Block b)

Perform the actual analysis on one block.

Parameters:

b - the block to analyze

runAnalysisFor

S runAnalysisFor(Node node,
                 boolean before,
                 TransferInput<V,S> transferInput,
                 IdentityHashMap<Node,V> nodeValues,
                 Map<TransferInput<V,S>,IdentityHashMap<Node,TransferResult<V,S>>> analysisCaches)

Runs the analysis again within the block of node and returns the store at the location of node. If before is true, then the store immediately before the Node node is returned. Otherwise, the store immediately after node is returned. If analysisCaches is not null, this method uses a cache. analysisCaches is a map of a block of node to the cached analysis result. If the cache for transferInput is not in analysisCaches, this method creates new cache and stores it in analysisCaches. The cache is a map of nodes to the analysis results of the nodes.

Parameters:

node - the node to analyze

before - the boolean value to indicate which store to return (if it is true, return the store immediately before node; otherwise, the store after node is returned)

transferInput - the transfer input of the block of this node

nodeValues - abstract values of nodes

analysisCaches - caches of analysis results

Returns:

the store before or after node (depends on the value of before) after running the analysis

getResult

AnalysisResult<V,S> getResult()

The result of running the analysis. This is only available once the analysis finished running.

Returns:

the result of running the analysis

getTransferFunction

T getTransferFunction()

Get the transfer function of this analysis.

Returns:

the transfer function of this analysis

getInput

@Nullable TransferInput<V,S> getInput(Block b)

Get the transfer input of a given Block b.

Parameters:

b - a given Block

Returns:

the transfer input of this Block

getValue

V getValue(Node n)

Returns the abstract value for Node n, or null if no information is available. Note that if the analysis has not finished yet, this value might not represent the final value for this node.

Parameters:

n - n a node

Returns:

the abstract value for node n, or null if no information is available

getRegularExitStore

S getRegularExitStore()

Returns the regular exit store, or null, if there is no such store (because the method cannot exit through the regular exit block).

Returns:

the regular exit store, or null, if there is no such store (because the method cannot exit through the regular exit block)

getExceptionalExitStore

S getExceptionalExitStore()

Returns the exceptional exit store.

Returns:

the exceptional exit store
