Interface Interpreter

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicInterpreter, BasicVerifier, DataflowInterpreter, SimpleVerifier

public interface Interpreter

A semantic bytecode interpreter. More precisely, this interpreter only manages the computation of values from other values: it does not manage the transfer of values to or from the stack, and to or from the local variables. This separation allows a generic bytecode Analyzer to work with various semantic interpreters, without needing to duplicate the code to simulate the transfer of values.

Value	merge(Value v, Value w) Merges two values.
Value	naryOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn, java.util.List values) Interprets a bytecode instruction with a variable number of arguments.
Value	newOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn) Interprets a bytecode instruction without arguments.
Value	newValue(Type type) Creates a new value that represents the given type.

ternaryOperation

Value ternaryOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn,
                       Value value1,

merge

Value merge(Value v,
            Value w)

Merges two values. The merge operation must return a value that represents both values (for instance, if the two values are two types, the merged value must be a common super type of the two types. If the two values are integer intervals, the merged value must be an interval that contains the previous ones. Likewise for other types of values).

Parameters:

v - a value.

w - another value.

Returns:

the merged value. If the merged value is equal to v, this method must return v.
