Constructor Details

NullnessNoInitVisitor

public NullnessNoInitVisitor(BaseTypeChecker checker)

Create a new NullnessVisitor.

Parameters:

checker - the checker to which this visitor belongs

Method Details

createTypeFactory

public NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory createTypeFactory()

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Constructs an instance of the appropriate type factory for the implemented type system.

The default implementation uses the checker naming convention to create the appropriate type factory. If no factory is found, it returns BaseAnnotatedTypeFactory. It reflectively invokes the constructor that accepts this checker and compilation unit tree (in that order) as arguments.

Subclasses have to override this method to create the appropriate visitor if they do not follow the checker naming convention.

Overrides:

createTypeFactory in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Returns:

the appropriate type factory

isValidUse

public boolean isValidUse(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedPrimitiveType type,
 Tree tree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Tests that the qualifiers present on the primitive type are valid.

Overrides:

isValidUse in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

type - the use of the primitive type

tree - the tree where the type is used

Returns:

true if the type is a valid use of the primitive type

checkConstructorResult

protected void checkConstructorResult(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType constructorType,
 ExecutableElement constructorElement)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Issue a warning if the result type of the constructor declaration is not top. If it is a supertype of the class, then a type.invalid.conflicting.annos error will also be issued by BaseTypeVisitor.isValidUse(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType,AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType,Tree).

Overrides:

checkConstructorResult in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

constructorType - the AnnotatedExecutableType for the constructor

• m1 receiver type is a supertype of m2
• m1 parameters are supertypes of corresponding m2 parameters

Also, it issues a "missing.this" error for static method annotated receivers.

Specified by:

visitMethod in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitMethod in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

visitMethodInvocation

public Void visitMethodInvocation(MethodInvocationTree tree,
 Void p)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Performs a method invocation check.

An invocation of a method, m, on the receiver, r is valid only if:

• passed arguments are subtypes of corresponding m parameters
• r is a subtype of m receiver type
• if m is generic, passed type arguments are subtypes of m type variables

Specified by:

visitMethodInvocation in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitMethodInvocation in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

processClassTree

public void processClassTree(ClassTree classTree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Type-check classTree. Subclasses should override this method instead of BaseTypeVisitor.visitClass(ClassTree, Void).

Overrides:

processClassTree in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

classTree - class to check

checkMethodInvocability

protected void checkMethodInvocability(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedExecutableType method,
 MethodInvocationTree tree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Tests whether the method can be invoked using the receiver of the 'tree' method invocation, and issues a "method.invocation.invalid" if the invocation is invalid.

This implementation tests whether the receiver in the method invocation is a subtype of the method receiver type. This behavior can be specialized by overriding skipReceiverSubtypeCheck.

Overrides:

checkMethodInvocability in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

method - the type of the invoked method

tree - the method invocation tree

visitSwitch

public Void visitSwitch(SwitchTree tree,
 Void p)

Specified by:

visitSwitch in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitSwitch in class TreeScanner<Void,Void>

visitSwitchExpression17

public void visitSwitchExpression17(Tree switchExprTree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

This method validates the type of the switch expression. It issues an error if the type of a value that the switch expression can result is not a subtype of the switch type.

If a subclass overrides this method, it must call super.scan(switchExpressionTree, null) so that the blocks and statements in the cases are checked.

Overrides:

visitSwitchExpression17 in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

switchExprTree - a SwitchExpressionTree

visitForLoop

public Void visitForLoop(ForLoopTree tree,
 Void p)

Specified by:

visitForLoop in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitForLoop in class TreeScanner<Void,Void>

visitNewClass

public Void visitNewClass(NewClassTree tree,
 Void p)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Performs a new class invocation check.

An invocation of a constructor, c, is valid only if:

• passed arguments are subtypes of corresponding c parameters
• if c is generic, passed type arguments are subtypes of c type variables

Specified by:

visitNewClass in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitNewClass in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

visitWhileLoop

public Void visitWhileLoop(WhileLoopTree tree,
 Void p)

Specified by:

visitWhileLoop in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitWhileLoop in class TreeScanner<Void,Void>

visitDoWhileLoop

public Void visitDoWhileLoop(DoWhileLoopTree tree,
 Void p)

Specified by:

visitDoWhileLoop in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitDoWhileLoop in class TreeScanner<Void,Void>

visitConditionalExpression

public Void visitConditionalExpression(ConditionalExpressionTree tree,
 Void p)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

If the computation of the type of the ConditionalExpressionTree in org.checkerframework.framework.type.TypeFromTree.TypeFromExpression.visitConditionalExpression(ConditionalExpressionTree, AnnotatedTypeFactory) is correct, the following checks are redundant. However, let's add another failsafe guard and do the checks.

Specified by:

visitConditionalExpression in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitConditionalExpression in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

checkExceptionParameter

protected void checkExceptionParameter(CatchTree tree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Issue error if the exception parameter is not a supertype of the annotation specified by BaseTypeVisitor.getExceptionParameterLowerBoundAnnotations(), which is top by default.

Subclasses may override this method to change the behavior of this check. Subclasses wishing to enforce that exception parameter be annotated with other annotations can just override BaseTypeVisitor.getExceptionParameterLowerBoundAnnotations().

Overrides:

checkExceptionParameter in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

tree - a CatchTree to check

visitAnnotation

public Void visitAnnotation(AnnotationTree tree,
 Void p)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Ensure that the annotation arguments comply to their declarations. This needs some special casing, as annotation arguments form special trees.

Specified by:

visitAnnotation in interface TreeVisitor<Void,Void>

Overrides:

visitAnnotation in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

visitAnnotatedType

public void visitAnnotatedType(@Nullable List<? extends AnnotationTree> annoTrees,
 Tree typeTree)

Description copied from class: BaseTypeVisitor

Checks an annotated type. Invoked by BaseTypeVisitor.visitAnnotatedType(AnnotatedTypeTree, Void), BaseTypeVisitor.visitVariable(com.sun.source.tree.VariableTree, java.lang.Void), and BaseTypeVisitor.visitMethod(com.sun.source.tree.MethodTree, java.lang.Void). Exists to prevent code duplication among the three. Checking in visitVariable and visitMethod is needed because there isn't an AnnotatedTypeTree within a variable declaration or for a method return type -- all the annotations are attached to the VariableTree or MethodTree, respectively.

Overrides:

visitAnnotatedType in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>

Parameters:

annoTrees - annotations written before a variable/method declaration, if this type is from one; null otherwise. This might contain type annotations that the Java parser attached to the declaration rather than to the type.

typeTree - the type that any type annotations in annoTrees apply to

createTypeValidator

protected TypeValidator createTypeValidator()

Overrides:

createTypeValidator in class BaseTypeVisitor<NullnessNoInitAnnotatedTypeFactory>
