All Implemented Interfaces:

AbstractValue<UnusedAbstractValue>

public final class UnusedAbstractValue
extends java.lang.Object
implements AbstractValue<UnusedAbstractValue>

UnusedAbstractValue is an AbstractValue that is not involved in any lub computation during dataflow analysis. For those analyses which handle lub computation at a higher level (e.g., store level), it is sufficient to use UnusedAbstractValue and unnecessary to implement another specific AbstractValue. Example analysis using UnusedAbstractValue is LiveVariable analysis. This is a workaround for issue https://github.com/eisop/checker-framework/issues/200

Important: This method must fulfill the following contract:

• Does not change this.
• Does not change other.
• Returns a fresh object which is not aliased yet.
• Returns an object of the same (dynamic) type as this, even if the signature is more permissive.
• Is commutative.
