Class NullTestPiPolicy

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.wala.ssa.NullTestPiPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

SSAPiNodePolicy

public class NullTestPiPolicy
extends Object
implements SSAPiNodePolicy

A pi node policy with the following rule:

If we have the following code:

 S1: if (c op null) { ... } 

replace it with:

 S1: if (c op null) { v2 = PI(c, S1) .... } 

This renaming allows SSA-based analysis to reason about the nullness of v2 depending on the outcome of the branch.

Method Details

createNullTestPiPolicy

public static NullTestPiPolicy createNullTestPiPolicy()

getPi

public Pair<Integer, SSAInstruction> getPi(SSAConditionalBranchInstruction cond,
 SSAInstruction def1,
 SSAInstruction def2,
 SymbolTable symbolTable)

Description copied from interface: SSAPiNodePolicy

Do we need to introduce a new name for some value after deciding on an outcome for a conditional branch instruction?

If so, returns a pair consisting of the value number needing renaming, and the instruction which should be recorded as the cause of the pi instruction

Specified by:

getPi in interface SSAPiNodePolicy

Parameters:

cond - the conditional branch instruction in question

def1 - the SSAInstruction that defs cond.getUse(0), or null if none

def2 - the SSAInstruction that defs cond.getUse(1), or null if none

symbolTable - current state of the symbol table for the IR under construction

Returns:

description of the necessary pi instruction, or null if no pi instruction is needed.

getPi

Specified by:

getPi in interface SSAPiNodePolicy

Parameters:

call - the call instruction in question

symbolTable - current state of the symbol table for the IR under construction
