    OPAL is a Scala-based framework for the static analysis, manipulation and creation of Java bytecode.

    OPAL is a Scala-based framework for the static analysis, manipulation and creation of Java bytecode. OPAL is designed with performance, scalability and adaptability in mind.

    Its main components are:

    • a library (Common) which provides generally useful data-structures and algorithms for static analyses.
    • a framework for implementing lattice based static analyses (Static Analysis Infrastructure)
    • a framework for parsing Java bytecode (Bytecode Infrastructure) that can be used to create arbitrary representations.
    • a library to create a one-to-one in-memory representation of Java bytecode (Bytecode Disassembler).
    • a library to create a representation of Java bytecode that facilitates writing simple static analyses (Bytecode Representation - org.opalj.br).
    • a scalable, easily customizable framework for the abstract interpretation of Java bytecode (Abstract Interpretation Framework - org.opalj.ai).
    • a library to extract dependencies between code elements and to facilitate checking architecture definitions.
    • a library for the lightweight manipulation and creation of Java bytecode (Bytecode Assembler).

    General Design Decisions

    Thread Safety

    Unless explicitly noted, OPAL is thread safe. I.e., the classes defined by OPAL can be considered to be thread safe unless otherwise stated. (For example, it is possible to read and process class files concurrently without explicit synchronization on the client side.)

    No null Values

    Unless explicitly noted, OPAL does not null values I.e., fields that are accessible will never contain null values and methods will never return null. If a method accepts null as a value for a parameter or returns a null value it is always explicitly documented. In general, the behavior of methods that are passed null values is undefined unless explicitly documented.

    No Typecasts for Collections

    For efficiency reasons, OPAL sometimes uses mutable data-structures internally. After construction time, these data-structures are generally represented using their generic interfaces (e.g., scala.collection.{Set,Map}). However, a downcast (e.g., to add/remove elements) is always forbidden as it would effectively prevent thread-safety.

    Assertions

    OPAL makes heavy use of Scala's Assertion Facility to facilitate writing correct code. Hence, for production builds (after thorough testing(!)) it is highly recommend to build OPAL again using -Xdisable-assertions.

    Note

    This framework assumes that the analyzed bytecode is valid; i.e., the JVM's bytecode verifier would be able to verify the code. Furthermore, load-time errors (e.g., LinkageErrors) are – by default – completely ignored to facilitate the analysis of parts of a project. In general, if the presented bytecode is not valid, the result is undefined (i.e., OPAL may report meaningless results, crash or run indefinitely).

  • package domain

    This package contains definitions of common domains that can be used for the implementation of analyses.

    This package contains definitions of common domains that can be used for the implementation of analyses.

    Types of Domains

    In general, we distinguish two types of domains. First, domains that define a general interface (on top of the one defined by Domain), but do not directly provide an implementation. Hence, whenever you develop a new Domain you should consider implementing/using these domains to maximize reusability. Second, Domains that implement a specific interface (trait). In this case, we further distinguish between domains that provide a default implementation (per interface only one of these Domains can be used to create a final Domain) and those that can be stacked and basically refine the overall functionality.

    Examples

    • Domains That Define a General Interface
      • Origin defines two types which domains that provide information abou the origin of a value should consider to implement.
      • TheProject defines a standard mechanism how a domain can access the current project.
      • ...
    • Domains That Provide a Default Implementation
    • Domains That Implement Stackable Functionality
      • org.opalj.ai.domain.RecordThrownExceptions records information about all uncaught exceptions by intercepting a Domain's respective methods. However, it does provide a default implementation. Hence, a typical pattern is:
    class MyDomain extends Domain with ...
    with DefaultHandlingOfMethodResults with RecordThrownExceptions

    Thread Safety

    Unless explicitly documented, a domain is never thread-safe. The general programming model is to use one Domain object per code block/method and therefore, thread-safety is not required for Domains that are used for the evaluation of methods. However domains that are used to adapt/transfer values should be thread safe (see org.opalj.ai.domain.ValuesCoordinatingDomain for further details).

  2. abstract def doJoin(pc: Int, value: (LongSetValues.this)#DomainValue): Update[(LongSetValues.this)#DomainValue]

    Joins this value and the given value.

    Joins this value and the given value.

    Join is called whenever an instruction is evaluated more than once and, hence, the values found on the paths need to be joined. This method is, however, only called if the two values are two different objects ((this ne value) === true), but both values have the same computational type.

    This basically implements the join operator of complete lattices.

    Example

    For example, joining a DomainValue that represents the integer value 0 with a DomainValue that represents the integer value 1 may return a new DomainValue that precisely captures the range [0..1] or that captures all positive integer values or just some integer value.

    Contract

    this value is always the value that was previously used to perform subsequent computations/analyses. Hence, if this value subsumes the given value, the result has to be either NoUpdate or a MetaInformationUpdate. In case that the given value subsumes this value, the result has to be a StructuralUpdate with the given value as the new value. Hence, this join operation is not commutative. If a new (more abstract) abstract value is created that represents both values the result always has to be a StructuralUpdate. If the result is a StructuralUpdate the framework will continue with the interpretation.

    The termination of the abstract interpretation directly depends on the fact that at some point all (abstract) values are fixed and don't change anymore. Hence, it is important that the type of the update is only a org.opalj.ai.StructuralUpdate if the value has changed in a way relevant for future computations/analyses involving this value. In other words, when two values are joined it has to be ensured that no fall back to a previous value occurs. E.g., if you join the existing integer value 0 and the given value 1 and the result would be 1, then it must be ensured that a subsequent join with the value 0 will not result in the value 0 again.

    Conceptually, the join of an object with itself has to return the object itself. Note, that this is a conceptual requirement as such a call (this.doJoin(..,this)) will not be performed by the abstract interpretation framework; this case is handled by the join method. However, if the join object is also used by the implementation of the domain itself, it may be necessary to explicitly handle self-joins.

    Performance

    In general, the domain should try to minimize the number of objects that it uses to represent values. That is, two values that are conceptually equal should – whenever possible – use only one object. This has a significant impact on functions such as join.

    pc

  3. abstract def summarize(pc: Int): (LongSetValues.this)#DomainValue

    Creates a summary of this value.

    Creates a summary of this value.

    In general, creating a summary of a value may be useful/required for values that are potentially returned by a called method and which will then be used by the calling method. For example, it may be useful to precisely track the flow of values within a method to be able to distinguish between all sources of a value (E.g., to be able to distinguish between a NullPointerException created by instruction A and another one created by instruction B (A != B).)

    However, from the caller perspective it may be absolutely irrelevant where/how the value was created in the called method and, hence, keeping all information would just waste memory and a summary may be sufficient.

  6. def adapt(target: TargetDomain, valueOrigin: Int): (target)#DomainValue

    Adapts this value to the given domain (default: throws a domain exception that adaptation is not supported).

    Adapts this value to the given domain (default: throws a domain exception that adaptation is not supported). This method needs to be overridden by concrete Value classes to support the adaptation for a specific domain.

    Supporting the adapt method is primarily necessary when you want to analyze a method that is called by the currently analyzed method and you need to adapt this domain's values (the actual parameters of the method) to the domain used for analyzing the called method.

    Additionally, the adapt method is OPAL's main mechanism to enable dynamic domain-adaptation. I.e., to make it possible to change the abstract domain at runtime if the analysis time takes too long using a (more) precise domain.
