Class TrapTightener


  • public final class TrapTightener
    extends TrapTransformer
    A BodyTransformer that shrinks the protected area covered by each Trap in the Body so that it begins at the first of the Body's Units which might throw an exception caught by the Trap and ends just after the last Unit which might throw an exception caught by the Trap. In the case where none of the Units protected by a Trap can throw the exception it catches, the Trap's protected area is left completely empty, which will likely cause the UnreachableCodeEliminator to remove the Trap completely. The TrapTightener is used to reduce the risk of unverifiable code which can result from the use of ExceptionalUnitGraphs from which unrealizable exceptional control flow edges have been removed.

      • internalTransform

        protected void internalTransform​(Body body,
                                         String phaseName,
                                         Map<String,​String> options)
        Description copied from class: BodyTransformer
        This method is called to perform the transformation itself. It is declared abstract; subclasses must implement this method by making it the entry point to their actual Body transformation.
        Specified by:
        internalTransform in class BodyTransformer
        Parameters:
        body - the body on which to apply the transformation
        phaseName - the phasename for this transform; not typically used by implementations.
        options - the actual computed options; a combination of default options and Scene specified options.
      • mightThrowTo

        protected boolean mightThrowTo​(ExceptionalUnitGraph g,
                                       Unit u,
                                       Trap t)
        A utility routine which determines if a particular Unit might throw an exception to a particular Trap, according to the information supplied by a particular control flow graph.
        Parameters:
        g - The control flow graph providing information about exceptions.
        u - The unit being inquired about.
        t - The trap being inquired about.
        Returns:
        true if u might throw an exception caught by t, according to g
