Method Detail

assign

D assign(I id,
         E expression,
         ProgramPoint pp)
  throws SemanticException

Yields a copy of this domain, where id has been assigned to value.

Parameters:

id - the identifier to assign the value to

expression - the expression to assign

pp - the program point that where this operation is being evaluated

Returns:

a copy of this domain, modified by the assignment

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

smallStepSemantics

D smallStepSemantics(E expression,
                     ProgramPoint pp)
              throws SemanticException

Yields a copy of this domain, that has been modified accordingly to the semantics of the given expression.

Parameters:

expression - the expression whose semantics need to be computed

pp - the program point that where this operation is being evaluated

Returns:

a copy of this domain, modified accordingly to the semantics of expression

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

assume

D assume(E expression,
         ProgramPoint pp)
  throws SemanticException

Yields a copy of this domain, modified by assuming that the given expression holds. It is required that the returned domain is in relation with this one. A safe (but imprecise) implementation of this method can always return this.

Parameters:

expression - the expression to assume to hold.

pp - the program point that where this operation is being evaluated

Returns:

the (optionally) modified copy of this domain

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

forgetIdentifier

D forgetIdentifier(Identifier id)
            throws SemanticException

Forgets an Identifier. This means that all information regarding the given id will be lost. This method should be invoked whenever an identifier gets out of scope.

Parameters:

id - the identifier to forget

Returns:

the semantic domain without information about the given id

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

forgetIdentifiers

default D forgetIdentifiers(java.lang.Iterable<Identifier> ids)
                     throws SemanticException

Forgets all the given Identifiers. The default implementation of this method iterates on ids, invoking forgetIdentifier(Identifier) on each element.

Parameters:

ids - the collection of identifiers to forget

Returns:

the semantic domain without information about the given ids

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

satisfies

SemanticDomain.Satisfiability satisfies(E expression,
                                        ProgramPoint pp)
                                 throws SemanticException

Checks if the given expression is satisfied by the abstract values of this domain, returning an instance of SemanticDomain.Satisfiability.

Parameters:

expression - the expression whose satisfiability is to be evaluated

pp - the program point that where this operation is being evaluated

Returns:

SemanticDomain.Satisfiability.SATISFIED is the expression is satisfied by the values of this domain, SemanticDomain.Satisfiability.NOT_SATISFIED if it is not satisfied, or SemanticDomain.Satisfiability.UNKNOWN if it is either impossible to determine if it satisfied, or if it is satisfied by some values and not by some others (this is equivalent to a TOP boolean value)

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

pushScope

D pushScope(ScopeToken token)
     throws SemanticException

Pushes a new scope, identified by the give token, in the domain. This causes information about all variables not associated with a scope (and thus visible) to be mapped to the given scope and hidden away, until the scope is popped with popScope(ScopeToken).

Parameters:

token - the token identifying the scope to push

Returns:

a copy of this domain where the local variables have been hidden

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

popScope

D popScope(ScopeToken token)
    throws SemanticException

Pops the scope identified by the given token from the domain. This causes all the visible variables (i.e. that are not mapped to a scope) to be removed from the domain, while the local variables that were associated to the given scope token (and thus hidden) will become visible again.

Parameters:

token - the token of the scope to be restored

Returns:

a copy of this domain where the local variables have been removed, while the variables mapped to the given scope are visible again

Throws:

SemanticException - if an error occurs during the computation

representation

DomainRepresentation representation()

Yields a DomainRepresentation of the information contained in this domain's instance.

Returns:

the representation
