    OPAL is a Scala-based framework for the static analysis, manipulation and creation of Java bytecode.

    OPAL is a Scala-based framework for the static analysis, manipulation and creation of Java bytecode. OPAL is designed with performance, scalability and adaptability in mind.

    Its main components are:

    • a library (Common) which provides generally useful data-structures and algorithms for static analyses.
    • a framework for implementing lattice based static analyses (Static Analysis Infrastructure)
    • a framework for parsing Java bytecode (Bytecode Infrastructure) that can be used to create arbitrary representations.
    • a library to create a one-to-one in-memory representation of Java bytecode (Bytecode Disassembler).
    • a library to create a representation of Java bytecode that facilitates writing simple static analyses (Bytecode Representation - org.opalj.br).
    • a scalable, easily customizable framework for the abstract interpretation of Java bytecode (Abstract Interpretation Framework - org.opalj.ai).
    • a library to extract dependencies between code elements and to facilitate checking architecture definitions.
    • a library for the lightweight manipulation and creation of Java bytecode (Bytecode Assembler).

    General Design Decisions

    Thread Safety

    Unless explicitly noted, OPAL is thread safe. I.e., the classes defined by OPAL can be considered to be thread safe unless otherwise stated. (For example, it is possible to read and process class files concurrently without explicit synchronization on the client side.)

    No null Values

    Unless explicitly noted, OPAL does not null values I.e., fields that are accessible will never contain null values and methods will never return null. If a method accepts null as a value for a parameter or returns a null value it is always explicitly documented. In general, the behavior of methods that are passed null values is undefined unless explicitly documented.

    No Typecasts for Collections

    For efficiency reasons, OPAL sometimes uses mutable data-structures internally. After construction time, these data-structures are generally represented using their generic interfaces (e.g., scala.collection.{Set,Map}). However, a downcast (e.g., to add/remove elements) is always forbidden as it would effectively prevent thread-safety.

    Assertions

    OPAL makes heavy use of Scala's Assertion Facility to facilitate writing correct code. Hence, for production builds (after thorough testing(!)) it is highly recommend to build OPAL again using -Xdisable-assertions.

    Note

    This framework assumes that the analyzed bytecode is valid; i.e., the JVM's bytecode verifier would be able to verify the code. Furthermore, load-time errors (e.g., LinkageErrors) are – by default – completely ignored to facilitate the analysis of parts of a project. In general, if the presented bytecode is not valid, the result is undefined (i.e., OPAL may report meaningless results, crash or run indefinitely).

    Types of Domains

    In general, we distinguish two types of domains. First, domains that define a general interface (on top of the one defined by Domain), but do not directly provide an implementation. Hence, whenever you develop a new Domain you should consider implementing/using these domains to maximize reusability. Second, Domains that implement a specific interface (trait). In this case, we further distinguish between domains that provide a default implementation (per interface only one of these Domains can be used to create a final Domain) and those that can be stacked and basically refine the overall functionality.

    Examples

    • Domains That Define a General Interface
      • Origin defines two types which domains that provide information abou the origin of a value should consider to implement.
      • TheProject defines a standard mechanism how a domain can access the current project.
      • ...
    • Domains That Provide a Default Implementation
    • Domains That Implement Stackable Functionality
      • org.opalj.ai.domain.RecordThrownExceptions records information about all uncaught exceptions by intercepting a Domain's respective methods. However, it does provide a default implementation. Hence, a typical pattern is:
    class MyDomain extends Domain with ...
        with DefaultHandlingOfMethodResults with RecordThrownExceptions

    Thread Safety

    Unless explicitly documented, a domain is never thread-safe. The general programming model is to use one Domain object per code block/method and therefore, thread-safety is not required for Domains that are used for the evaluation of methods. However domains that are used to adapt/transfer values should be thread safe (see org.opalj.ai.domain.ValuesCoordinatingDomain for further details).

PostEvaluationMemoryManagement

trait PostEvaluationMemoryManagement extends CoreDomainFunctionality

Provides the possibility to further update the memory layout (registers and operands) after the execution of an instruction, but before any potential join is performed.

Using this domain is only safe if the (partial-)domains that use this functionality never interfere with each other.

If this domain is mixed in then the domain cannot be used to simultaneously analyze multiple different methods at the same time.

    Note

    Though the framework completely handles all aspects related to return address values, it is nevertheless necessary that this class inherits from Value as return addresses are stored on the stack/in the registers. However, if the Value trait should be refined, all additional methods may – from the point-of-view of OPAL-AI – just throw an UnsupportedOperationException as these additional methods will never be called by the OPAL-AI.

  5. class ReturnAddressValues extends RETValue

    Abstracts over a concrete operand stack value or a value stored in one of the local variables/registers.

    Use Of Value/Dependencies On Value

    In general, subclasses and users of a Domain should not have/declare a direct dependency on Value. Instead they should use DomainValue as otherwise extensibility of a Domain may be hampered or even be impossible. The only exceptions are, of course, classes that directly inherit from this class.

    Refining Value

    If you directly extend/refine this trait (i.e., in a subclass of the Domain trait you write something like trait Value extends super.Value), make sure that you also extend all classes/traits that inherit from this type (this may require a deep mixin composition and that you refine the type DomainType accordingly). However, OPAL was designed such that extending this class should – in general – not be necessary. It may also be easier to encode the desired semantics – as far as possible – as part of the domain.

    Implementing Value

    Standard inheritance from this trait is always supported and is the primary mechanism to model an abstract domain's lattice w.r.t. some special type of value. In general, the implementation should try to avoid creating new instances of values unless strictly required to model the domain's semantics. This will greatly improve the overall performance as this framework heavily uses reference-based equality checks to speed up the evaluation.

    Definition Classes
    ValuesDomain
    Note

    OPAL does not rely on any special equality semantics w.r.t. values and never directly or indirectly calls a Value's equals method. Hence, a domain can encode equality such that it best fits its need. However, some of the provided domains rely on the following semantics for equals: Two domain values have to be equal (==) iff they represent the same information. This includes additional information, such as, the value of the origin. E.g., a value (AnIntegerValue) that represents an arbitrary Integer value has to return true if the domain value with which it is compared also represents an arbitrary Integer value (AnIntegerValue). However, it may still be necessary to use multiple objects to represent an arbitrary integer value if, e.g., constraints should be attached to specific values. For example, after a comparison of an integer value with a predefined value (e.g., AnIntegerValue < 4) it is possible to constrain the respective value on the subsequent paths (< 4 on one path and >= 4 on the other path). To make that possible, it is however necessary to distinguish the AnIntegervalue from some other AnIntegerValue to avoid constraining unrelated values.

    public void foo(int a,int b) {
        if(a < 4) {
            z = a - 2 // here a is constrained (< 4), b and z are unconstrained
        }
        else {
            z = a + 2 // here a is constrained (>= 4), b and z are unconstrained
        }
    }

    In general, equals is only defined for values belonging to the same domain. If values need to be compared across domains, they need to be adapted to a target domain first.

    Called by the framework after performing a computation to inform the domain about the result.

    Called by the framework after performing a computation to inform the domain about the result. That is, after evaluating the effect of the instruction with currentPC on the current stack and register and (if necessary) joining the updated stack and registers with the stack and registers associated with the instruction successorPC. (Hence, this method is ONLY called for return instructions if the return instruction throws an IllegalMonitorStateException.) This function basically informs the domain about the instruction that may be evaluated next. The flow function is called for every possible successor of the instruction with currentPC. This includes all branch targets as well as those instructions that handle exceptions.

    In some cases it will even be the case that flow is called multiple times with the same pair of program counters: (currentPC, successorPC). This may happen, e.g., in case of a switch instruction where multiple values have the same body/target instruction and we do not have precise information about the switch value. E.g., as in the following snippet:

    switch (i) {  // pc: X => Y (for "1"), Y (for "2"), Y (for "3")
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3: System.out.println("Great.");            // pc: Y
    default: System.out.println("Not So Great.");    // pc: Z
    }

    The flow function is also called after instructions that are domain independent such as dup and load instructions which just manipulate the registers and stack in a generic way. This enables the domain to precisely follow the evaluation progress and in particular to perform control-flow dependent analyses.

    currentPC

    The program counter of the instruction that is currently evaluated by the abstract interpreter.

    currentOperands

    The current operands. I.e., the operand stack before the instruction is evaluated.

    currentLocals

    The current locals. I.e., the locals before the instruction is evaluated.

    successorPC

    The program counter of an instruction that is a potential successor of the instruction with currentPC. In general the AI framework adds the pc of the successor instruction to the beginning of the worklist unless it is a join instruction. In this case the pc is added to the end – in the context of the current (sub)routine. Hence, the AI framework first evaluates all paths leading to a join instruction before the join instruction will be evaluated.

    isSuccessorScheduled

    Yes if the successor instruction is or was scheduled. I.e., Yes is returned if the worklist contains successorPC, No if the worklist does not contain successorPC. Unknown is returned if the AI framework did not process the worklist and doesn't know anything about the scheduled successors. Note that this value is independent of the subroutine in which the value may be scheduled. If an implementation schedules successorPC the the super call has to set isSuccessorScheduled to Yes.

    isExceptionalControlFlow

    true if and only if the evaluation of the instruction with the program counter currentPC threw an exception; false otherwise. Hence, if this parameter is true the instruction with successorPC is the first instruction of the handler.

    abruptSubroutineTerminationCount

    > 0 if and only if we have an exceptional control flow that terminates one or more subroutines. In this case the successor instruction is scheduled (if at all) after all subroutines that will be terminated by the exception.

    wasJoinPerformed

    true if a join was performed. I.e., the successor instruction is an instruction (Code.cfJoins) that was already previously evaluated and where multiple paths potentially join.

    worklist

    The current list of instructions that will be evaluated next.

    If subroutines are not used (i.e., Java >= 5)

    If you want to force the evaluation of the instruction with the program counter successorPC it is sufficient to test whether the list already contains successorPC and – if not – to prepend it. If the worklist already contains successorPC then the domain is allowed to move the PC to the beginning of the worklist.

    If the code contains subroutines (JSR/RET)

    If the PC does not belong to the same (current) (sub)routine, it is not allowed to be moved to the beginning of the worklist. (Subroutines can only be found in code generated by old Java compilers; before Java 6. Subroutines are identified by jsr/ret instructions. A subroutine can be identified by going back in the worklist and by looking for specific "program counters" (e.g., SUBROUTINE_START, SUBROUTINE_END). These program counters mark the beginning of a subroutine. In other words, an instruction can be freely moved around unless a special program counter value is found. All special program counters use negative values. Additionally, neither the negative values nor the positive values between two negative values should be changed. Furthermore, no value (PC) should be put between negative values that capture subroutine information. If the domain updates the worklist, it is the responsibility of the domain to call the tracer and to inform it about the changes. Note that the worklist is not allowed to contain duplicates related to the evaluation of the current (sub-)routine.

    operandsArray

    The array that associates every instruction with its operand stack that is in effect. Note, that only those elements of the array contain values that are related to instructions that were evaluated in the past; the other elements are null. Furthermore, it identifies the operandsArray of the subroutine that will execute the instruction with successorPC. The operandsArray may be null for the current instruction (not the successor instruction) if the execution of the current instruction leads to the termination of the current subroutine. In this case the information about the operands and locals associated with all instructions belonging to the subroutine is reset.

    localsArray

    The array that associates every instruction with its current register values. Note, that only those elements of the array contain values that are related to instructions that were evaluated in the past. The other elements are null. Furthermore, it identifies the localsArray of the subroutine that will execute the instruction with successorPC. The localsArray may be null for the current instruction (not the successor instruction) if the execution of the current instruction leads to the termination of the current subroutine. In this case the information about the operands and locals associated with all instructions belonging to the subroutine is reset.

    returns

    The updated worklist. In most cases this is simply the given worklist. The default case is also to return the given worklist.

    Definition Classes
    CoreDomainFunctionality
    Note

    The domain is allowed to modify the worklist, operandsArray and localsArray. However, the AI will not perform any checks. In case of updates of the operandsArray or localsArray it is necessary to first create a shallow copy before updating it. If this is not done, it may happen that the locals associated with other instructions are also updated.

    ,

    A method that overrides this method must always call the super method to ensure that every domain that uses this hook gets informed about a flow.

  20. def join(pc: Int, thisOperands: Operands, thisLocals: Locals, otherOperands: Operands, otherLocals: Locals): Update[(Operands, Locals)]

    Joins the given operand stacks and local variables.

    Joins the given operand stacks and local variables.

    In general there should be no need to refine this method. Overriding this method should only be done for analysis purposes.

    Performance

    This method heavily relies on reference comparisons to speed up the overall process of performing an abstract interpretation of a method. Hence, a computation should – whenever possible – return (one of) the original object(s) if that value has the same abstract state as the result. Furthermore, if all original values capture the same abstract state as the result of the computation, the "left" value/the value that was already used in the past should be returned.

    returns

    The joined operand stack and registers. Returns NoUpdate if this memory layout already subsumes the other memory layout.

    CoreDomainFunctionality
    Note

    The size of the operands stacks that are to be joined and the number of registers/locals that are to be joined can be expected to be identical under the assumption that the bytecode is valid and the framework contains no bugs.

    ,

    The operand stacks are guaranteed to contain compatible values w.r.t. the computational type (unless the bytecode is not valid or OPAL contains an error). I.e., if the result of joining two operand stack values is an IllegalValue we assume that the domain implementation is incorrect. However, the joining of two register values can result in an illegal value - which identifies the value as being dead.

    Enables the customization of the behavior of the base join method.

    Enables the customization of the behavior of the base join method.

    This method in particular enables, in case of a MetaInformationUpdate, to raise the update type to force the continuation of the abstract interpretation process.

    Methods should always override this method and should call the super method.

    updateType

    The current update type. The level can be raised. It is an error to lower the update level.

    oldOperands

    The old operands, before the join. Should not be changed.

    oldLocals

    The old locals, before the join. Should not be changed.

    newOperands

    The new operands; may be updated.

    newLocals

    The new locals; may be updated.

    Returns a string representation of the properties associated with the instruction with the respective program counter.

    Associating properties with an instruction and maintaining those properties is, however, at the sole responsibility of the Domain.

    This method is predefined to facilitate the development of support tools and is not used by the abstract interpretation framework.

    Domains that define (additional) properties should (abstract) override this method and should return a textual representation of the property.
