Interface FlowScope

All Superinterfaces:

LatticeElement, StaticScope, StaticTypedScope<JSType>

public interface FlowScope
extends StaticTypedScope<JSType>, LatticeElement

A symbol table for inferring types during data flow analysis. Each flow scope represents the types of all variables in the scope at a particular point in the flow analysis.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
FlowScope	createChildFlowScope() Creates a child of this flow scope, to represent an instruction directly following this one.
FlowScope	createChildFlowScope(StaticTypedScope<JSType> scope) Creates a child flow scope with the given syntactic scope, which may be required to be a specific subclass, such as TypedScope.
StaticTypedScope<JSType>	getDeclarationScope() Returns the underlying TypedScope.
void	inferQualifiedSlot(Node node, java.lang.String symbol, JSType bottomType, JSType inferredType, boolean declare) Infer the type of a qualified name.
void	inferSlotType(java.lang.String symbol, JSType type) Defines the type of a symbol at this point in the flow.
FlowScope	optimize() Optimize this scope and return a new FlowScope with faster lookup.

Method Detail

createChildFlowScope

FlowScope createChildFlowScope()

Creates a child of this flow scope, to represent an instruction directly following this one.

createChildFlowScope

FlowScope createChildFlowScope(StaticTypedScope<JSType> scope)

Creates a child flow scope with the given syntactic scope, which may be required to be a specific subclass, such as TypedScope.

inferSlotType

void inferSlotType(java.lang.String symbol,
                   JSType type)

Defines the type of a symbol at this point in the flow.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If no slot for this symbol exists.

inferQualifiedSlot

void inferQualifiedSlot(Node node,
                        java.lang.String symbol,
                        JSType bottomType,
                        JSType inferredType,
                        boolean declare)

Infer the type of a qualified name. When traversing the control flow of a function, simple names are declared at the bottom of the flow lattice. But there are far too many qualified names to be able to do this and be performant. So the bottoms of qualified names are declared lazily. Therefore, when inferring a qualified slot, we need both the "bottom" type of the slot when we enter the scope, and the current type being inferred.

optimize

FlowScope optimize()

Optimize this scope and return a new FlowScope with faster lookup.

getDeclarationScope

StaticTypedScope<JSType> getDeclarationScope()

Returns the underlying TypedScope.
