public abstract class SourceChecker
extends AbstractTypeProcessor
implements ErrorHandler, CFContext, OptionConfiguration

An abstract annotation processor designed for implementing a source-file checker for a JSR-308 conforming compiler plug-in. It provides an interface to javac's annotation processing API, routines for error reporting via the JSR 199 compiler API, and an implementation for using a SourceVisitor to perform the type-checking.

Subclasses must implement the following methods: (TODO: update the list)

• getMessages() (for type-qualifier specific error messages)
• createSourceVisitor() (for a custom SourceVisitor)
• getSuppressWarningsKeys() (for honoring @{link SuppressWarnings} annotations)

Most type-checker plug-ins will want to extend BaseTypeChecker, instead of this class. Only checkers that require annotated types but not subtype checking (e.g. for testing purposes) should extend this. Non-type checkers (e.g. for enforcing coding styles) should extend AbstractProcessor (or even this class) as the Checker Framework is not designed for such checkers.

protected abstract SourceVisitor<?,?> createSourceVisitor()

Provides the SourceVisitor that the checker should use to scan input source trees.

Returns:

a SourceVisitor to use to scan source trees

getAnnotationProvider

public AnnotationProvider getAnnotationProvider()

Specified by:

getAnnotationProvider in interface BaseContext

getMessages

public java.util.Properties getMessages()

Provides a mapping of error keys to custom error messages.

As a default, this implementation builds a Properties out of file messages.properties. It accumulates all the properties files in the Java class hierarchy from the checker up to SourceChecker. This permits subclasses to inherit default messages while being able to override them.

Returns:

a Properties that maps error keys to error message text

errorAbort

public void errorAbort(java.lang.String msg)

Log an error message and abort processing. Call this method instead of raising an exception.

Specified by:

errorAbort in interface ErrorHandler

Parameters:

msg - the error message to log

errorAbort

public void errorAbort(java.lang.String msg,
                       java.lang.Throwable cause)

Log an error message and abort processing. Call this method instead of raising an exception.

Specified by:

errorAbort in interface ErrorHandler

Parameters:

msg - the error message to log

cause - the original error cause

userErrorAbort

public void userErrorAbort(java.lang.String msg)

Log a user error message and abort processing. Call this method instead of raising an exception or using System.out. In contrast to errorAbort(String) this method presents a more user-friendly output.

Parameters:

msg - the error message to log

typeProcessingStart

public void typeProcessingStart()

A method to be called once before the first call to typeProcess.

Subclasses may override this method to do any initialization work.

Type-checkers are not supposed to override this. Instead use initChecker. This allows us to handle CheckerError only here and doesn't require all overriding implementations to be aware of CheckerError.

Overrides:

typeProcessingStart in class AbstractTypeProcessor

See Also:

AbstractProcessor.init(ProcessingEnvironment), initChecker()

initChecker

public void initChecker()

Initialize the checker.

See Also:

AbstractProcessor.init(ProcessingEnvironment)

shouldAddShutdownHook

protected boolean shouldAddShutdownHook()

Return true to indicate that method shutdownHook() should be added as a shutdownHook of the JVM.

shutdownHook

protected void shutdownHook()

Method that gets called exactly once at shutdown time of the JVM. Checkers can override this method to customize the behavior.

printStats

protected void printStats()

Print resource usage statistics

typeProcess

public void typeProcess(javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement e,
                        com.sun.source.util.TreePath p)

Type-check the code with Java specifications and then runs the Checker Rule Checking visitor on the processed source.

Specified by:

typeProcess in class AbstractTypeProcessor

Parameters:

e - element of the analyzed class

p - the tree path to the element, with the leaf being a ClassTree

See Also:

Processor.process(Set, RoundEnvironment)

Format a list of StackTraceElements to be printed out as an error message.

fullMessageOf

protected java.lang.String fullMessageOf(java.lang.String messageKey,
                                         java.lang.String defValue)

Returns the localized long message corresponding for this key, and returns the defValue if no localized message is found.

printMessage

protected void printMessage(javax.tools.Diagnostic.Kind kind,
                            java.lang.String message,
                            com.sun.source.tree.Tree source,
                            com.sun.source.tree.CompilationUnitTree root)

Do not call this method directly. Call report(Result, Object) instead. (This method exists so that the BaseTypeChecker can override it and treat messages from compound checkers differently.)

processArg

Process an argument to an error message before it is passed to String.format.

Parameters:

arg - the argument

Returns:

the result after processing

                    java.lang.Object... args)

Print a non-localized message using the javac messager. This is preferable to using System.out or System.err, but should only be used for exceptional cases that don't happen in correct usage. Localized messages should be raised using report(Result, Object).

Parameters:

kind - the kind of message to print

msg - the message text

args - optional arguments to substitute in the message

See Also:

report(Result, Object)

treeToFilePositionString

public java.lang.String treeToFilePositionString(com.sun.source.tree.Tree tree,
                                                 com.sun.source.tree.CompilationUnitTree currentRoot,

The list of keys that suppress a checker's warnings is provided by the getSuppressWarningsKeys() method.

Parameters:

tree - the tree that might be a source of a warning

errKey - the error key the checker is emitting

Returns:

true if no warning should be emitted for the given tree because it is contained by a declaration with an appropriately-valued @SuppressWarnings annotation; false otherwise

Should unchecked code defaults be used for the kind of code indicated by the parameter

Parameters:

kindOfCode - source or bytecode

Parameters:

elt - the Element that might be a source of, or related to, a warning

errKey - the error key the checker is emitting

Returns:

true if no warning should be emitted for the given Element because it is contained by a declaration with an appropriately-valued @SuppressWarnings annotation; false otherwise

report

public void report(Result r,
                   java.lang.Object src)

Reports a result. By default, it prints it to the screen via the compiler's internal messenger if the result is non-success; otherwise, the method returns with no side-effects.

Parameters:

r - the result to report

src - the position object associated with the result

getLintOption

public final boolean getLintOption(java.lang.String name)

Determines the value of the lint option with the given name. Just as javac uses "-Xlint:xxx" to enable and "-Xlint:-xxx" to disable option xxx, annotation-related lint options are enabled with "-Alint:xxx" and disabled with "-Alint:-xxx".

Parameters:

name - the name of the lint option to check for

Returns:

true if the lint option was given, false if it was not given or was given prepended with a "-"

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the option name is not recognized via the SupportedLintOptions annotation or the getSupportedLintOptions() method

                                   boolean def)

Determines the value of the lint option with the given name. Just as javac uses "-Xlint:xxx" to enable and "-Xlint:-xxx" to disable option xxx, annotation-related lint options are enabled with "-Alint=xxx" and disabled with "-Alint=-xxx".

Parameters:

name - the name of the lint option to check for

def - the default option value, returned if the option was not given

Returns:

true if the lint option was given, false if it was given prepended with a "-", or def if it was not given at all

                                   boolean val)

Set the value of the lint option with the given name. Just as javac uses "-Xlint:xxx" to enable and "-Xlint:-xxx" to disable option xxx, annotation-related lint options are enabled with "-Alint=xxx" and disabled with "-Alint=-xxx". This method can be used by subclasses to enforce having certain lint options enabled/disabled.

Parameters:

name - the name of the lint option to set

val - the option value

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the option name is not recognized via the SupportedLintOptions annotation or the getSupportedLintOptions() method

See Also:

getLintOption(String), getLintOption(String,boolean)

Compute the set of supported lint options.

setSupportedLintOptions

protected void setSupportedLintOptions(java.util.Set<java.lang.String> newlints)

Set the supported lint options. Use of this method should be limited to the AggregateChecker, who needs to set the lint options to the union of all subcheckers. Also, e.g. the NullnessSubchecker/RawnessSubchecker need to use this method, as one is created by the other.

addOptions

protected void addOptions(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> moreopts)

Add additional active options. Use of this method should be limited to the AggregateChecker, who needs to set the active options to the union of all subcheckers.

public final java.lang.String getOption(java.lang.String name)

Determines the value of the option with the given name.

Specified by:

getOption in interface OptionConfiguration

See Also:

getLintOption(String,boolean)

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getOptions()

Return all active options for this checker.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionConfiguration

Returns:

all active options for this checker

hasOption

public final boolean hasOption(java.lang.String name)

Check whether the given option is provided.

Note that getOption(String) can still return null even if hasOption returns true: this happens e.g. for -Amyopt

Specified by:

hasOption in interface OptionConfiguration

Parameters:

name - the option name to check

Returns:

true if the option name was provided, false otherwise

getOption

public final java.lang.String getOption(java.lang.String name,

Map the Checker Framework version of SupportedOptions to the standard annotation provided version SupportedOptions.

Specified by:

getSupportedOptions in interface javax.annotation.processing.Processor

Specified by:

getSupportedOptions in interface OptionConfiguration

Overrides:

getSupportedOptions in class javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor

expandCFOptions

protected java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> expandCFOptions(java.util.List<? extends java.lang.Class<?>> clazzPrefixes,
                                                                 java.lang.String[] options)

Generate the possible command-line option names by prefixing each class name from classPrefixes to options, separated by OPTION_SEPARATOR.

Parameters:

clazzPrefixes - the classes to prefix

options - the option names

Returns:

the possible combinations that should be supported

getSupportedAnnotationTypes

public final java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getSupportedAnnotationTypes()

Overrides the default implementation to always return a singleton set containing only "*".

javac uses this list to determine which classes process; javac only runs an annotation processor on classes that contain at least one of the mentioned annotations. Thus, the effect of returning "*" is as if the checker were annotated by @SupportedAnnotationTypes("*"): javac runs the checker on every class mentioned on the javac command line. This method also checks that subclasses do not contain a SupportedAnnotationTypes annotation.

To specify the annotations that a checker recognizes as type qualifiers, see AnnotatedTypeFactory.createSupportedTypeQualifiers().

Specified by:

getSupportedAnnotationTypes in interface javax.annotation.processing.Processor

Overrides:

getSupportedAnnotationTypes in class javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor

Throws:

java.lang.Error - if a subclass is annotated with SupportedAnnotationTypes

getSuppressWarningsKeys

public java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getSuppressWarningsKeys()

Returns:

string keys that a checker honors for suppressing warnings and errors that it issues. Each such key suppresses all warnings issued by the checker.

See Also:

SuppressWarningsKeys

getStandardSuppressWarningsKeys

Determine the standard set of suppress warning keys usable for any checker.

Returns:

collection of warning keys

See Also:

element - an element

Returns:

true iff the enclosing class of element should be skipped

shouldSkipUses

public final boolean shouldSkipUses(java.lang.String typeName)

Tests whether the class owner of the passed type matches the pattern specified in the checker.skipUses property. In contrast to shouldSkipUses(Element) this version can also be used from primitive types, which don't have an element.

Parameters:

Returns:

true iff the enclosing class of element should be skipped

shouldSkipDefs

public final boolean shouldSkipDefs(com.sun.source.tree.ClassTree node)

                                    com.sun.source.tree.MethodTree meth)

Tests whether the method definition should not be checked because it matches the checker.skipDefs property.

TODO: currently only uses the class definition. Refine pattern. Same for skipUses.

Parameters:
