Type Members

1.  class IllegalValue extends Value with IsIllegalValue

   Represents a value that has no well defined state/type.

   Represents a value that has no well defined state/type. Such values are either the result of a join of two incompatible values or if the variable was identified as being dead. IllegalValue's are only found in registers (in the locals).

   Stores a single return address (i.e., a program counter/index into the code array).

   ValuesDomain

   Note

   Though the framework completely handles all aspects related to return address values, it is nevertheless necessary that this class inherits from Value as return addresses are stored on the stack/in the registers. However, if the Value trait should be refined, all additional methods may – from the point-of-view of OPAL-AI – just throw an UnsupportedOperationException as these additional methods will never be called by the OPAL-AI.

5.  class ReturnAddressValues extends RETValue

   A collection of (not further stored) return address values.

   A collection of (not further stored) return address values. Primarily used when we join the executions of subroutines.

   Abstracts over a concrete operand stack value or a value stored in one of the local variables/registers.

   Use Of Value/Dependencies On Value

   In general, subclasses and users of a Domain should not have/declare a direct dependency on Value. Instead they should use DomainValue as otherwise extensibility of a Domain may be hampered or even be impossible. The only exceptions are, of course, classes that directly inherit from this class.

   Refining Value

   If you directly extend/refine this trait (i.e., in a subclass of the Domain trait you write something like trait Value extends super.Value), make sure that you also extend all classes/traits that inherit from this type (this may require a deep mixin composition and that you refine the type DomainType accordingly). However, OPAL was designed such that extending this class should – in general – not be necessary. It may also be easier to encode the desired semantics – as far as possible – as part of the domain.

   Implementing Value

   Standard inheritance from this trait is always supported and is the primary mechanism to model an abstract domain's lattice w.r.t. some special type of value. In general, the implementation should try to avoid creating new instances of values unless strictly required to model the domain's semantics. This will greatly improve the overall performance as this framework heavily uses reference-based equality checks to speed up the evaluation.

   ValuesDomain

   Note

   OPAL does not rely on any special equality semantics w.r.t. values and never directly or indirectly calls a Value's equals method. Hence, a domain can encode equality such that it best fits its need. However, some of the provided domains rely on the following semantics for equals: Two domain values have to be equal (==) iff they represent the same information. This includes additional information, such as, the value of the origin. E.g., a value (AnIntegerValue) that represents an arbitrary Integer value has to return true if the domain value with which it is compared also represents an arbitrary Integer value (AnIntegerValue). However, it may still be necessary to use multiple objects to represent an arbitrary integer value if, e.g., constraints should be attached to specific values. For example, after a comparison of an integer value with a predefined value (e.g., AnIntegerValue < 4) it is possible to constrain the respective value on the subsequent paths (< 4 on one path and >= 4 on the other path). To make that possible, it is however necessary to distinguish the AnIntegervalue from some other AnIntegerValue to avoid constraining unrelated values.

   public void foo(int a,int b) {
       if(a < 4) {
           z = a - 2 // here a is constrained (< 4), b and z are unconstrained
       }
       else {
           z = a + 2 // here a is constrained (>= 4), b and z are unconstrained
       }
   }

   In general, equals is only defined for values belonging to the same domain. If values need to be compared across domains, they need to be adapted to a target domain first.
