Class JvmDefaultExpandOperator<StateT extends LatticeAbstractState<StateT>>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExpandOperator<JvmCfaNode,​JvmCfaEdge,​MethodSignature>, JvmAbstractStateFactory<StateT>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    JvmTaintExpandOperator, JvmValueExpandOperator

    public class JvmDefaultExpandOperator<StateT extends LatticeAbstractState<StateT>>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements ExpandOperator<JvmCfaNode,​JvmCfaEdge,​MethodSignature>, JvmAbstractStateFactory<StateT>
    This ExpandOperator simulates the JVM behavior on a method exit.

    In case of exit with a return instruction it takes the heap and the frame from the exit state of the called function and the local variables of the caller. Then pops the arguments of the call from the stack, pushes the return value, and creates an abstract state at the target of the intra-procedural call edge.

    In case of exit with an exception besides performing the same reconstruction for local variables, heap, and static fields, it discards the operand stack of the caller and pushes the exception. The abstract successor location is either the first applicable catch node of the caller, if exists, or the exception exit node of the caller.

      • expand

        public JvmAbstractState<StateT> expand​(AbstractState expandedInitialState,
                                               AbstractState reducedExitState,
                                               JvmCfaNode blockEntryNode,
                                               Call call)
        Description copied from interface: ExpandOperator
        Reconstructs the state of the caller of a procedure using the information of the expanded initial state, the reduced exit state, the block entry node (that can be used to retrieve the CFA subgraph of the function), and the call to the procedure.
        Specified by:
        expand in interface ExpandOperator<JvmCfaNode,​JvmCfaEdge,​MethodSignature>
        Parameters:
        expandedInitialState - the entry state of the called procedure before any reduction
        reducedExitState - the state of the called procedure in its exit node
        blockEntryNode - the entry node of the called procedure
        call - the information of the call to the procedure
        Returns:
        The state of the caller after the procedure call, eventually with some collisions of identifiers that need the RebuildOperator to be solved
