    • wouldHaveBeenAKaboom

      public boolean wouldHaveBeenAKaboom()
      Is this value known to be non null because a NPE would have occurred otherwise?
    • toExceptionValue

      public IsNullValue toExceptionValue()
      Convert to an exception path value.
    • markInformationAsComingFromReturnValueOfMethod

      public IsNullValue markInformationAsComingFromReturnValueOfMethod(XMethod methodInvoked)
      Convert to a value known because it was returned from a method in a method property database.
      Parameters:
      methodInvoked - TODO
    • markInformationAsComingFromFieldValue

      public IsNullValue markInformationAsComingFromFieldValue(XField field)
      Convert to a value known because it was returned from a method in a method property database.
      Parameters:
      field - TODO
    • nullValue

      public static IsNullValue nullValue()
      Get the instance representing values that are definitely null.
    • checkedNullValue

      public static IsNullValue checkedNullValue()
      Get the instance representing a value known to be null because it was compared against null value, or because we saw that it was assigned the null constant.
    • nonNullValue

      public static IsNullValue nonNullValue()
      Get the instance representing values that are definitely not null.
    • checkedNonNullValue

      public static IsNullValue checkedNonNullValue()
      Get the instance representing a value known to be non-null because it was compared against null value, or because we saw the object creation.
    • noKaboomNonNullValue

      public static IsNullValue noKaboomNonNullValue(@Nonnull Location ins)
      Get the instance representing a value known to be non-null because a NPE would have occurred if it were null.
    • nullOnSimplePathValue

      public static IsNullValue nullOnSimplePathValue()
      Get the instance representing values that are definitely null on some simple (no branches) incoming path.
    • parameterMarkedAsMightBeNull

      public static IsNullValue parameterMarkedAsMightBeNull(XMethodParameter mp)
      Get instance representing a parameter marked as MightBeNull
    • parameterMarkedAsNonnull

      public static IsNullValue parameterMarkedAsNonnull(XMethodParameter mp)
      Get instance representing a parameter marked as Nonnull
    • nonReportingNotNullValue

      public static IsNullValue nonReportingNotNullValue()
      Get non-reporting non-null value. This is what we use for unknown values.
    • nullOnComplexPathValue

      public static IsNullValue nullOnComplexPathValue()
      Get null on complex path value. This is like null on simple path value, but there are at least two branches between the explicit null value and the current location. If the conditions are correlated, then the path on which the value is null may be infeasible.
    • nullOnComplexPathValue3

      public static IsNullValue nullOnComplexPathValue3()
      Like "null on complex path" except that there are at least three branches between the explicit null value and the current location.
    • pathSensitiveNullValue

      public static IsNullValue pathSensitiveNullValue()
      Get null value resulting from comparison to explicit null.
    • pathSensitiveNonNullValue

      public static IsNullValue pathSensitiveNonNullValue()
      Get non-null value resulting from comparison to explicit null.
    • merge

      public static IsNullValue merge(IsNullValue a, IsNullValue b)
      Merge two values.
    • isDefinitelyNull

      public boolean isDefinitelyNull()
      Is this value definitely null?
    • isNullOnSomePath

      public boolean isNullOnSomePath()
      Is this value null on some path?
    • isNullOnComplicatedPath

      public boolean isNullOnComplicatedPath()

    • isNullOnComplicatedPath23

      public boolean isNullOnComplicatedPath23()
      Is this value null on a complicated path?
    • isNullOnComplicatedPath2

      public boolean isNullOnComplicatedPath2()
      Is this value null on a complicated path?
    • mightBeNull

      public boolean mightBeNull()
      Return true if this value is either definitely null, or might be null on a simple path.
      Returns:
      true if this value is either definitely null, or might be null on a simple path, false otherwise
    • isDefinitelyNotNull

      public boolean isDefinitelyNotNull()

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
    • getLocationOfKaBoom

      public Location getLocationOfKaBoom()
    • downgradeOnControlSplit

      public IsNullValue downgradeOnControlSplit()
      Control split: move given value down in the lattice if it is a conditionally-null value.
      Returns:
      another value (equal or further down in the lattice)
