This pass implements dataflow analysis for Java programs.
Liveness analysis checks that every statement is reachable.
Exception analysis ensures that every checked exception that is thrown is declared or caught.
Definite（一定的、确定的） assignment analysis ensures that each variable is assigned when used.
如上指出了要做的三项工作，分别是Liveness analysis、Exception analysis与DA/DU
eg:
任何局部变量在使用前要进行初始化，包括基本类型，如下将报错：
int i;
if(i==2){ // 报错，局部变量i未初始化
}
Definite unassignment analysis ensures that no final variable is assigned more than once（不止一次）.
eg:
final int i;
i = 1;
i = 22; // The final local variable i may already have been assigned
The JLS has a number of problems in the specification of these flow analysis problems.This implementation attempts to address those issues.
First, there is no accommodation for a finally clause that cannot complete normally.
For liveness analysis, an intervening finally clause can cause a break, continue, or return not to reach its target.
For exception analysis, an intervening finally clause can cause any exception to be "caught".
eg:
什么是intervening finally，就比如finally中有return 、continue等有控制流程转移的语句。
for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
try{
System.out.println("a");
break;
}catch(Exception ex){
}finally{ // finally block does not complete normally
System.out.println("b");
continue;
}
}
输出为：a b a b
@SuppressWarnings("finally")
private boolean isReturnWithinFinally() {
try {
if (true)
throw new RuntimeException();
} finally {
return true; // This hides the exception
}
}
研究finally block does not complete normally的相关问题
当finall块中包含return语句时，Eclipse会给出警告“finally block does not complete normally”，原因分析如下：
1、不管try块、catch块中是否有return语句，finally块都会执行。
2、finally块中的return语句会覆盖前面的return语句（try块、catch块中的return语句），所以如果finally块中有return语句，Eclipse编译器会报警告“finally block does not complete normally”。
3、如果finally块中包含了return语句，即使前面的catch块重新抛出了异常，则调用该方法的语句也不会获得catch块重新抛出的异常，而是会得到finally块的返回值，并且不会捕获异常。也就是can cause any exception to be caught
For DA/DU analysis, the finally clause can prevent a transfer of control（控制权的转移） from propagating（传播） DA/DU
state to the target. In addition（另外）, code in the finally clause can affect the DA/DU status of variables.
For try statements, we introduce the idea of a variable being definitely unassigned "everywhere" in a block.
A variable V is "unassigned everywhere" in a block iff（if and only if） it is unassigned at the beginning of the block and there is no reachable assignment to V in the block.
An assignment V=e is reachable iff V is not DA after e. Then we can say that V is DU at the beginning of the catch block iff V is DU everywhere in the try block. 如上的变量e说的可能是catch块的Exception中的变量e
Similarly,V is DU at the beginning of the finally block iff V is DU everywhere in the try block and in every catch block.
Specifically, the following bullet is added to 16.2.2
V is unassigned everywhere in a block if it is unassigned before the block and there is no reachable assignment to V within the block.
In 16.2.15, the third bullet (and all of its sub-bullets) for all try blocks is changed to
V is definitely unassigned before a catch block iff V is definitely unassigned everywhere in the try block.
The last bullet (and all of its sub-bullets) for try blocks that have a finally block is changed to
V is definitely unassigned before the finally block iff V is definitely unassigned everywhere in the try block and everywhere in each catch block of the try statement.
In addition,
V is definitely assigned at the end of a constructor iff V is definitely assigned after the block that is the body of the constructor and V is definitely assigned at every return that can return from the constructor.
In addition, each continue statement with the loop as its target is treated as a jump to the end of the loop body,and "intervening" finally clauses are treated as follows:
V is DA "due to（归因于） the continue" iff V is DA before the continue statement or V is DA at the end of any intervening finally block.
V is DU "due to the continue" iff any intervening finally cannot complete normally or V is DU at the end of every intervening finally block. This "due to the continue" concept is then used in the spec for the loops.
Similarly, break statements must consider intervening finally blocks.
For liveness analysis, a break statement for which any intervening finally cannot complete normally is not considered to cause the target statement to be
able to complete normally. Then we say V is DA "due to the break" iff V is DA before the break or V is DA
at the end of any intervening finally block. V is DU "due to the break" iff any intervening finally cannot complete normally
or V is DU at the break and at the end of every intervening finally block. (I suspect this latter condition can be simplified.)
This "due to the break" is then used in the spec for all statements that can be "broken".
The return statement is treated similarly. V is DA "due to a return statement" iff V is DA before the return statement
or V is DA at the end of any intervening finally block. Note that we don‘t have to worry about the return expression because this concept is only used for construcrors.
There is no spec in JLS2 for when a variable is definitely assigned at the end of a constructor, which is needed for
final fields (8.3.1.2). We implement the rule that V is DA at the end of the constructor iff it is DA and the end of
the body of the constructor and V is DA "due to" every return of the constructor.
Intervening finally blocks similarly affect exception analysis. An intervening finally that cannot complete normally allows us to ignore an otherwise uncaught exception.
To implement the semantics of intervening finally clauses, all nonlocal transfers (break, continue, return, throw,
method call that can throw a checked exception, and a constructor invocation that can thrown a checked exception)
are recorded in a queue, and removed from the queue when we complete processing the target of the nonlocal transfer.
This allows us to modify the queue in accordance with the above rules when we encounter a finally clause.
The only exception to this [no pun intended 没有双关] is that checked exceptions that are known to be caught or declared
to be caught in the enclosing method are not recorded in the queue, but instead are recorded in a global variable
"Set thrown" that records the type of all exceptions that can be thrown.
Other minor issues the treatment of members of other classes (always considered DA except that within an anonymous class constructor, where DA status from the enclosing scope is preserved),
treatment of the case expression (V is DA before the case expression iff V is DA after the switch expression), treatment of variables declared in a
switch block (the implied DA/DU status after the switch expression is DU and not DA for variables defined in a switch block),
the treatment of boolean ?: expressions (The JLS rules only handle b and c non-boolean; the new rule is that
if b and c are boolean valued, then V is (un)assigned after a?b:c when true/false iff V is (un)assigned after b
when true/false and V is (un)assigned after c when true/false).
There is the remaining question of what syntactic forms constitute（组成） a reference to a variable. It is conventional to
allow this.x on the left-hand-side to initialize a final instance field named x, yet this.x isn‘t considered a "use" when appearing on a right-hand-side in most implementations.
Should parentheses affect what is considered a variable reference?（括号会影响被视为变量引用的内容）The simplest rule would be to allow unqualified forms only, parentheses optional, and phase out support for assigning to a final field via this.x.
