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.

Method Details

binaryOperation

public Value binaryOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn,
                             Value value1,
                             Value value2)
            throws AnalyzerException
Interprets a bytecode instruction with two arguments. This method is called for the following opcodes: IALOAD, LALOAD, FALOAD, DALOAD, AALOAD, BALOAD, CALOAD, SALOAD, IADD, LADD, FADD, DADD, ISUB, LSUB, FSUB, DSUB, IMUL, LMUL, FMUL, DMUL, IDIV, LDIV, FDIV, DDIV, IREM, LREM, FREM, DREM, ISHL, LSHL, ISHR, LSHR, IUSHR, LUSHR, IAND, LAND, IOR, LOR, IXOR, LXOR, LCMP, FCMPL, FCMPG, DCMPL, DCMPG, IF_ICMPEQ, IF_ICMPNE, IF_ICMPLT, IF_ICMPGE, IF_ICMPGT, IF_ICMPLE, IF_ACMPEQ, IF_ACMPNE, PUTFIELD
Parameters:
insn - the bytecode instruction to be interpreted.
value1 - the first argument of the instruction to be interpreted.
value2 - the second argument of the instruction to be interpreted.
Returns:
the result of the interpretation of the given instruction.
Throws:
AnalyzerException - if an error occured during the interpretation.

copyOperation

public Value copyOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn,
                           Value value)
            throws AnalyzerException
Interprets a bytecode instruction that moves a value on the stack or to or from local variables. This method is called for the following opcodes: ILOAD, LLOAD, FLOAD, DLOAD, ALOAD, ISTORE, LSTORE, FSTORE, DSTORE, ASTORE, DUP, DUP_X1, DUP_X2, DUP2, DUP2_X1, DUP2_X2, SWAP
Parameters:
insn - the bytecode instruction to be interpreted.
value - the value that must be moved by the instruction.
Returns:
the result of the interpretation of the given instruction. The returned value must be equal to the given value.
Throws:
AnalyzerException - if an error occured during the interpretation.

merge

public 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.

naryOperation

public Value naryOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn,
                           List values)
            throws AnalyzerException
Interprets a bytecode instruction with a variable number of arguments. This method is called for the following opcodes: INVOKEVIRTUAL, INVOKESPECIAL, INVOKESTATIC, INVOKEINTERFACE, MULTIANEWARRAY
Parameters:
insn - the bytecode instruction to be interpreted.
values - the arguments of the instruction to be interpreted.
Returns:
the result of the interpretation of the given instruction.
Throws:
AnalyzerException - if an error occured during the interpretation.

newOperation

public Value newOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn)
            throws AnalyzerException
Interprets a bytecode instruction without arguments. This method is called for the following opcodes: ACONST_NULL, ICONST_M1, ICONST_0, ICONST_1, ICONST_2, ICONST_3, ICONST_4, ICONST_5, LCONST_0, LCONST_1, FCONST_0, FCONST_1, FCONST_2, DCONST_0, DCONST_1, BIPUSH, SIPUSH, LDC, JSR, GETSTATIC, NEW
Parameters:
insn - the bytecode instruction to be interpreted.
Returns:
the result of the interpretation of the given instruction.
Throws:
AnalyzerException - if an error occured during the interpretation.

newValue

public Value newValue(Type type)
Creates a new value that represents the given type.
Parameters:
type - a primitive or reference type, or null to represent an uninitialized value.
Returns:
a value that represents the given type. The size of the returned value must be equal to the size of the given type.

ternaryOperation

public Value ternaryOperation(AbstractInsnNode insn,
                              Value value1,
                              Value value2,
                              Value value3)
            throws AnalyzerException
