Constructor Detail

RuleSets

public RuleSets()

Public constructor.

RuleSets

public RuleSets(RuleSets ruleSets)

Copy constructor. Deep copies RuleSets.

Parameters:

ruleSets - The RuleSets to copy.

RuleSets

public RuleSets(RuleSet ruleSet)

Public constructor. Add the given rule set.

Parameters:

ruleSet - the RuleSet

Method Detail

addRuleSet

public void addRuleSet(RuleSet ruleSet)

Add a ruleset for a language. Only one ruleset can be added for a specific language. If ruleSet.getLanguage() is null, it is assumed to be a RuleSet of java rules.

Parameters:

ruleSet - the RuleSet

getAllRuleSets

public RuleSet[] getAllRuleSets()

Get all the RuleSets.

Returns:

RuleSet[]

getRuleSetsIterator

public Iterator<RuleSet> getRuleSetsIterator()

getAllRules

public Set<Rule> getAllRules()

Return all rules from all rulesets.

Returns:

Set

applies

public boolean applies(File file)

Check if a given source file should be checked by rules in this RuleSets.

Parameters:

file - the source file to check

Returns:

true if the file should be checked, false otherwise

start

public void start(RuleContext ctx)

Notify all rules of the start of processing.

apply

public void apply(List<Node> acuList,
                  RuleContext ctx,
                  Language language)

Apply all applicable rules to the compilation units. Applicable means the language of the rules must match the language of the source (@see applies).

Parameters:

acuList - the List of compilation units; the type these must have, depends on the source language

ctx - the RuleContext

language - the Language of the source

end

public void end(RuleContext ctx)

Notify all rules of the end of processing.

usesDFA

@Deprecated
public boolean usesDFA(Language language)

Deprecated.

See Rule.isDfa()

Check if the rules that apply to a source of the given language use DFA.

Parameters:

language - the language of a source

Returns:

true if any rule in the RuleSet needs the DFA layer

getRuleByName

public Rule getRuleByName(String ruleName)

Returns the first Rule found with the given name. Note: Since we support multiple languages, rule names are not expected to be unique within any specific ruleset.

Parameters:

ruleName - the exact name of the rule to find

Returns:

the rule or null if not found

ruleCount

public int ruleCount()

Determines the total count of rules that are used in all rule sets.

Returns:

the count

usesTypeResolution

@Deprecated
public boolean usesTypeResolution(Language language)

Deprecated.

See Rule.isTypeResolution()

Does any Rule for the given Language use Type Resolution?

Parameters:

language - The Language.

Returns:

true if a Rule for the Language uses Type Resolution, false otherwise.

usesMultifile

@Deprecated
public boolean usesMultifile(Language language)

Deprecated.

See Rule.isMultifile()

Does any Rule for the given Language use multi-file analysis?

Parameters:

language - The Language.

Returns:

true if a Rule for the Language uses multi file analysis, false otherwise.

removeDysfunctionalRules

public void removeDysfunctionalRules(Collection<Rule> collector)

Remove and collect any rules that report problems.

Parameters:

collector -

getChecksum

public long getChecksum()

Retrieves a checksum of the rulesets being used. Any change to any rule of any ruleset should trigger a checksum change.

Returns:

The checksum for this ruleset collection.
